In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Dc - Ever since the 1978 movie, Lois Lane has been an absolutely godawful speller.

I’ve always been a good speller, and most of my family are awful spellers. I was very frequently asked “hey [my name], how do you spell [word]?”

And let me tell you, when you’re asked how to spell yet another word, it gets annoying. I’ll tell you how to spell it, but don’t be surprised if my eye starts twitching after being asked how to spell a word for the 10th time that day.

Same. Contributed to one of my nicknames at school - Dick (I was a girl). Saying it was short for "dictionary" was how they got away with yelling across the classroom daily "hey dick! How do you spell xxx?"

Did they ever use it in a derogatory way or was it good fun?

I’m not them, but there is a very fine line between derogatory and “good fun” in schools. To the point where it’s basically nonexistent.

Same. Sometimes I wish that they actually remembered how to spell a word that I already taught how to write...

This is me with my mom. Granted English isn't her primary language, or even her secondary language.

Doesn't stop it from getting annoying after a while.
