Ice.
No but the reasoning I'm using is because of the associations I put on certain typings from years of pokeymansing. Either their posting styles or taste in media.
Dark types are frequently tricksters and their movesets and stats focus on certain niches and playstyles. Sucker Punch is a dark move, Prankster is most often associated with Dark pokeymans. Dark types are smort, but use their smorts for attaining amusement. They also tend to like thier shit GRIMDARK, even in parody form.
Psychic types are smart, like Dark Types, but they lack the trolly incline a dark type has, instead replacing it with studious studiousness. I can't think of a poster with more evidence filed away and organized than Scenario, or anyone with Xan's particular way of trying to remain polite even when his bonkers are clonked. Where Scenario is hard to annoy, Xan is not so much, but he's got restraint.
Fire is destructive, fire pokeymans usually have high attack stats, they're the bruisers, and destructive bruiser type posting goes hand in hand with people like NemeBro. He also likes characters who fit this description in his media. Gregor Clegane, anyone?
Ground types are a good sturdy defensive typing, I associate them with stubborness and lack of **** givery.
Where ground types are stubborn, rock types usually have ridiculous defense stats, they're not necessarily stubborn, they just don't care enough about your opinion to be moved, even if they don't respond.
Water is calm, and tends to go with the flow.
Electricity is fast and flashy, like say, Sacred's taste in media. He likes cool fight scenes and he likes the characters to look good doing them, he's not necessarily there for bloodshed, just spectacle, at least that's what I get.
Normal types aren't sexual deviants. Note almost no one got this typing from me. awesome
I mostly made Scenario bug type because he likes bugs, particularly wasps.
Ice is a good offensive type. It also has edges. BR's a cool guy (heh, puns) who enjoys edgy media (don't deny it) and makes good offensive arguments.
