I was running through some old Portal 2 quotes in my head and realized that it Cave Johnson were a real person, people would absolutely hate him.

Sheogorath from elder scrolls is a fan favorite, but I'd hazard to say no one wants to live in a universe with a cheese obsessed mad god that regularly dicks with humans for fun.

Sheohorath gets pretty fucking dark.

At that same moment, a young woman nearby commented wistfully to herself, "The sounds of the birds are so beautiful."

Sheogorath silently agreed with her. Mortals could not make the beautiful and inspired calls of birds. Their voices were wretched and mundane. He could not change the nature of mortals, for that was the purview of other Daedric Princes. However, he could give them tools to make beautiful sounds.

Sheogorath took hold of the petulant woman and ripped her asunder. From her tendons he made lutes. From her skull and arm bones he made a drum. From her bones he made flutes. He presented these gifts to the mortals, and thus Music was born.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

I was genuine, but given the state of the world today I think an unstable deity of madness and whimsy periodically gifting insane relics and literal mental illnesses to people probably wouldn't even be in the top 30.

My biggest problem with someone like Sheogorath is that he can just create a planet sized object at will and there's nothing anyone could do to stop him
