People who say "misandry doesn't exist" don't understand that misandry is itself a form of misogyny as it places women on a pedestal, as superiors if you will, and experiences with it are likely to subconciously, or even conciously, induce anti-female biases. The same goes with "reverse" racism.

For my platform fighter project, one character I've been planning is a gross-out tengu who farts and vomits and stuff like that - his current name is "Tengoo" and I'm considering "Tengoop", but originally he was called "Tengew", like tengu + eww - that sounded like a rip roarin' corker of a pun at first, but then I realised it could be read in a way that's very unfortunate for a long-nosed character who uses gas in attacks.

I feel Wario has the worst series symbol in Smash. It could've been garlic, Wario's nose, a Wario Bomb, but nope. They chose a W.

Castlevania's symbol feels a little overdetailed, but I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Banjo's jiggy should've been tilted a little I feel.

A cog for Mega Man was really weird without the knowledge they're a major part of the series in Japan.

Metal Gear's new symbol is really weird - I get why it was changed, but still, I can't help but see it as a Bubsy symbol.

If Wario has the worst symbol, R.O.B. has the second worst. As a kid I remember trying to figure out what it meant. It looks cool, sure, but it's barely recognisable as a Gyro.

Surely the top of a Balance Board would've worked better for Wii Fit?

The Melee G&W series symbol is so much better, like wow. A small change but such a difference.

Surely if F-Zero could have Captain Falcon's falcon as a series symbol, ARMS could've had Spring Man or Min Min's symbol instead of the generic fist? (speaking of which, if Spring Man "isn't the main protagonist", why did Min Min come with his stage? Irrelevant discussion now we have Pyra but still a strange oddity.)

The Wii Sports symbol is so good, but would become pretty outdated should they add a Wii Sports 1 stage.

The Minecraft symbol is really weird in that the outlines are coloured and the inside of them is transparent.

Kirby's symbol would probably work better as Kirby's head than a Warp Star.

The Xenoblade symbol is so awkwardly cut off it's almost comical

The Fire Emblem series symbol is absolutely not helping the series shed it's reputation of "just swords". Not that Sakurai or Nintendo are doing anything to rectify that either.

I'm sure they could've gone with something better for Final Fantasy than the letters "FF"

You could place the DS symbol horizontally and it'd be a perfect Virtual Boy symbol.

For the longest time I thought the ICs' series symbol had closed eyes, turns out it has visible sclera but the pupils merge into the body.

Using a tyranical or generally unethical government as an excuse for racism is the most ridiculous thing ever - if you're racist, why should you care that they have a bad government?

While on the topic, I really can't imagine having a government where they kill people in death camps and my first problem being "I'm not allowed to compare our ruler to a Disney character!" or "I can't watch South Park anymore!"
