No one tell reactionaries who say the suicide squad game “disrespects kevin conroy’s legacy” about him being gay, they would probably explode on the spot and that would be an awful mess to clean up

I actually made a post on a Discord server I'm in about Kevin Conroy at the beginning of pride month.

Mostly talking about how he got the role of Batman and the struggles he went through as a member of the community to get a job anywhere. Finished the post wishing that hopefully by all of us working together we can achieve a future where the LGBTIQ community can have equal job rights and respect as any other kind of worker.
Thinking about that dream Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario had about every fictional character ever being added to Multiversus, and the character select screen being near impossible to navigate due to its size alone makes such a roster for any genre of game the ultimate Monkey's Paw scenario, I feel. Doesn't matter if the game's balance is somehow absolutely fair, it'd be hell to find the character you actually want without a search bar.

imagine searching for a character with "ape" in the name and seeing every single bored nft ape (except the racist ones based on pre-established lore)

Would such a game like this also be stuck to one genre, or would it be a multi-genre game, covering every one possible? Imagine just hopping from Plat-Fighter to Kart Racer to Sim Racer to Turn-Based RPG, etc... seeing how even just one character would transfer to multiple styles.

Also, filters are fun to think about too (and for most everyone, definitely necessary). A true "Library of Babel" chronicle of every character would obviously involve a lot of repeats based on ever-so-slight differences, but one basic filter to trim a lot of the fat would be having "All-Time" versions of characters. Essentially, these would take a character's full official history into account and represent the very best/most ideal aspects of them. Most people won't care enough to have an exact version of Mario from some obscure game anyhow; That can be for the advanced/insane players. And then you can of course add any number of "taste filters" on top of that to trim out even more of the... unsavory parts.

And the same can apply to other aspects as well if they use the "every single one" approach, like stages and even the game genres themselves.

Unironically a historic moment. We won, Pepperbros
Had a dream there was a game were a bunch of characters did stuff and at one point they all entered a library and General Jelly Jiggler from Bobobo turned into a bunch of small penguins (the alternative was turning into a bunch of black holes). And then he fell through the floor or something to the museum level and turned into a statue, so then the rest of the characters had to go find him, one of which was Killer Bean. Killer Bean goes to the museum and then he comes across some sort of diagram of himself showing that he got extra weapons than more people and stuff. This went into Killer Bean's tragic backstory, where he was originally a character in a multiplayer FPS game that was favored by the developer, so he got more stuff than the rest of the players. This caused him to act spoilede and a lot of the players to be mad at him, so then one player cornered him and kept killing him and he kept respawning until he ran out of bitcoins (respawning apparently cost 1 bitcoin in this game). Then he was turned into part of the game server's code, watching the rest of the players play the game without him. Eventually he got out somehow but this whole experience turned him into the bean we know today.
