I'm late to the Ryan is a Dick discussion, but I wanted to add:
I agree Ryan is pretty much a dick. His attitude at times rubs me the wrong way (in particular his Marvel Zombie status whenever comics come up); however, I also remember his 3DS GameStop story where he swapped with the 13yo boy so the kid could have the more 'manly' blue 3DS, while Ryan took the more 'girly' purple one. So even a dick has his moments of non-dickness.
He's a dismissive dick, but he's our dismissive dick.
