* RapeAsComedy: Mathieu himself is clearly against rape, as seen when he reviews Mister X's speech about "soft rape", but it doesn't stop his Boss persona from being a shameless sex offender and having a very questionable sens of humor. He often mentions his many "feats" or fetishes, even though the other personas try their best to interrupt or censor him before it becomes too dark or creepy. He even rapes [[ButtMonkey the Geek]] in a dark basement at one point, [[LiteralSplitPersonality however that works]], and Default!Mathieu doesn't really seem to care..
