Abstract: An extremely overpowered character/item who's sole purpose for existing is to easily beat/counter any obstacle put in front of them.
A Little Timmy Character (abbreviated as LT character in this) is a character in fiction who's purpose is to be powerful/more powerful than a previous powerful predecessor. Most LT characters are products of insecure people projecting themselves with OCs that can solo all of fiction, or bad authors creating a bad plot. The isekai genre is infamously chock full of LT characters, most of which being the "person who appears weak but is actually really fucking strong" sub-genre.
The naming derives from the power logic of elementary children, as almost all of their powerscaling arguements boil down to "nuh uh, because my character can actually _____ which just so happens to convienently counter your character's ______."
A good way to identify a LT character on the fly is to check two things: their role in the story and their powerscaling's simplicity-to-power ratio. However, this method can be unreliable if the character's reasoning for existence requires more research compared to the average read session, so take the results of this test with a grain of salt. It is heavily recommended to do your own research on the character's, well, character first.
Important note: Not all overpowered characters are Little Timmy Characters. No examples will be provided due to controversy with differing opinions :P

"Dude, Cortium is such a little timmy character. He can literally erase space and time passively. What an unbalanced result of poor writing."

Get the character mug.The belief or attitude that one is the central figure in their own life story, often leading to a self-assured, bold, and sometimes overly dramatic way of acting. It's used to describe someone who seems to live life with purpose and flair, as if they're always in the spotlight.
"Sarah's new haircut and bold red lipstick gave her total main character energy as she walked into the party."

Get the Main Character Energy mug.When someone, on an internet comment section, gets irrationally mad when a content creator says something innocuous, contorts it into a completely different sentence and takes it as a personal attack when it is, at worst, merely a difference in personal preference among members of the aforementioned group.
The classic "Do you pancakes? OH! SO YOU HATE WAFFLES!" blended with "No true Scot," sprinkled with selective hearing, wrapped in a paradox with a jealousy Aioli spread.
Clarification: The paradox in my example being this commentor who doesn't understand that a woman (the content creator) cannot have a "lived gay male experience" by definition.

Tuber in video: "This event forced the internet to get woke about some uncomfortable questions."
Commentor1: "Before calling yourself woke, I suggest you do better research and think of others before you make statements that accuse gay male preferences of fetishes and domination, assume MOST muscle appreciation by men as sexual, and make statements not to your own experiences. I get young white westerners love to be famous on youtube but jesus enough with the philosophizing and generalizing (especially marginalized) populations without actual life experience."
