Pseudocharacter?

So, is he a pseudocharacter? he's given a name and everything. If even Carol, who's only been "spoken to" to imply pseudocharacterness, then I think Lotionman should ge gives pseudocharacter status. I won't shed any tears if he's just an item, though. Dr. Clash 02:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Carol is spoken to as though "she" can hear and understand Marzipan, and she even responds with a scale at one point. The Denzel at least has a face, although I could see an argument for it not being considered a pseudocharacter and more like just a teddy bear. This, however, is a cap. The email says they gave it a name, but that's it. At no point does it look, act, or speak like a character, and at no point do we see anyone treating it as such. It is therefore just an item. — It's dot com 02:43, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree — on this basis I think that neither Lotionman nor The Denzel should be considered a pseudocharacter (see also here). Trey56 02:45, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
