Nightmare Fetishist: She admits in her Maggot Baits review that she is part of its target audience. Her review of Under Party lampshades this fact. "That’s what makes Guardian Acorn so special, it’s not just a game Review Blog, but it’s also a cry for help!"

Critic Breakdown
 Guardian Acorn (Blog) / int_395f1788
comment
Critic Breakdown: Taken up to eleven in her review of Starless: Nymphomaniac’s Paradise. While most of the review is fairly standard, at the end, she explains in detail that the trauma that came from playing it is very similar to rape trauma syndrome, and that finding images to use for the review triggered a mental breakdown. In later content, she claimed that her experience with the game made her suicidal.

Metaphorgotten
 Guardian Acorn (Blog) / int_45007296
comment
Metaphorgotten: Her review of Clothing & Alterations opens with the following... “Of the many statements I’ve made in my writing career, if I was told I had to choose one specific hill to die on, I’d probably choose the statement that queer people are better at writing erotica than cishet people. And no, this isn’t because I consider it the most important. It’s actually because I don’t want to die on a hill, and anyone dumb enough to argue against me on this one probably isn’t in good enough shape to climb up one, much less get past my army of highly trained antifa catgirls… unless someone throws a ball of yarn. If that happens then I’m screwed.”

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Guardian Acorn (Blog) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Her earlier political pieces are much more centrist than her later ones, and had her try her best to seek common ground with people like Blaire White and Meghan Murphy. She believes she was overly naive at the time and considers these pieces an old shame. Some of her earlier reviews have references to review scores and follow a more formulaic layout, as opposed to the more free flowing direction of her later writing.

Compassionate Critic
 Guardian Acorn (Blog) / int_5fb8deab
comment
Compassionate Critic: She is often hesitant about being too harsh on games she dislikes because she knows fully well the developers may be reading, and she hopes to inspire devs to improve rather than tear them down and berate them. That’s not to say that some games aren’t bad enough to push her into caustic critic territory.

Accentuate the Negative: Averted, she will usually be fair in her criticism, exception being the "Nukige Septic Tank" and "Steam Greenlight Landfill" titled reviews, whose subjects do not have that much positive to say about them in first place.

Take That!
 Guardian Acorn (Blog) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: “Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, otherwise known as ‘the reason why Super Mario 3D All Stars looks so half-assed…’” From her You and Me and Her review “For the most part, you can generally tell a game will be kinda fucked up in some way if the Nitro Plus is visible on it, similarly to how one can tell that a game will have anime tiddies and cryptic ending requirements if an Idea Factory logo is present, or that a game will be a microtransaction infested shit pile if it has an Electronic Arts logo on it.” “but there is a clear difference between Meltys Quest and the ones I liked. The difference is that just about every man in Meltys Quest, with a few exceptions, is uglier than Donald Trump’s hair.” Also from Meltys Quest “So yes, it’s not exactly rape induced conversion therapy so it’s still better than Ladykiller in a Bind, but it’s pretty fucking close.” Again, from Meltys Quest “It is nice to see an indie eroge RPG localized with legitimate effort when you have sixty seven assembly line “translations” that I’m convinced were created by copy pasting the entire Japanese script into Google translate, then pasting the transcribed English script into Russian, then back into Japanese, only they instead accidentally selected Javanese, then back into English, and the finishing touches are made by cutting out each individual word of said script, hanging them up on the wall, and having monkeys throw lawn darts at them. Then again, I’m convinced that the resulting script would still turn out better than anything localized by Sakura Game.”

Review Ironic Echo
 Guardian Acorn (Blog) / int_be987a84
comment
Review Ironic Echo: She really likes this trope. Her Mighty No. 9 review, not only has “Sadder than an Anime fan on Prom Night” as her review tagline, she also captions the line “Blast. I see no pattern whatsoever” as the game’s level design in a nutshell Her review of Max: An Autistic Journey with“I see a crazy autistic idiot who's having another meltdown!! Again!!” Blanc saying “I actually wrote this game’s entire scenario. Check the credits”In Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection prompts Annie to point out that it’s a running gag in the series that Blanc is terrible at writing. Her review of Yooka-Laylee with “Rextro learn it okay to be old Fashioned. Even if bat make fun” Her review of The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa features an image of the quote “Because it’s not some kind of a contest. You should matter to at least somebody just because you were born” with her saying that, despite her criticisms, this could apply to the game itself. She ended her review of DeadΩAegis (pronounced Dead End Aegis), with “This game was so close to greatness, but it hit a dead end on the way.” Her review of Majikoi! Love Me Seriously! includes the infamous Chris “I did a terrible thing” image to signify her displeasure with her route. The tagline to her Bayonetta review is “One of a Kind.”

In her Clothing&Alterations review she puts a caption under a screenshot of in game contract, stating that not even Phoenix Wright can get you out of this one. Her Under Party review has a gif of the main character getting beaten by a large muscular man captioned with "Standing here, I realize!" referencing the final boss theme from Metal Gear Rising
