This whole situation is sad. We just want to get together to share in our love for Geno and hope that he has a chance to come post-pass as DLC.
I don't want us to constantly be downwind from all this leaker stuff and be constantly thrust into the limelight in a negative way just to consistently take the brunt of negativity and make people not want Geno because they start to equate him and his fans with other, more toxic aspects of the Smash community as a whole.
Geno's a cool star dude who holds a lot of nostalgia for a bunch of people, and who Sakurai has expressed wanting in for 3 games straight now. In my experience, I've never interacted with a Geno fan who was crazed or toxic, but I've seen a lot of people enter this thread and claim the entire community of Geno supporters - in the Geno Support Thread - to be toxic as a whole, on the basis of a few bad apples who I personally have not seen to exist during my time here on the site and supporting Geno through both SM4SH and now Ultimate. That doesn't mean they don't exist, because tbh they will always exist somewhere. But my point is that all the regulars here, Fatman included, are honestly all pretty chill and realistic about Geno's chances - and there's a reason why there's hope now where there wasn't before.
Stay classy everybody, don't let things like the Sabi drama get us down. No matter what happens or what people may say or do, the fact of the matter is that we're all here to support Geno, and our love and support for Geno doesn't and shouldn't change based on other people, because they'll come and go and eventually, when Geno gets in by the end of this DLC cycle - and I am confident in that based on a number of factors that have been reiterated numerous times over the course of this thread's existence and over the Ultimate DLC lifecycle up to now - this will be nothing more than a bumpy road footnote in the history of showing our support for Geno to will him into Smash just like we as fans did for Ridley, K. Rool and Banjo this cycle, Mega Man last cycle, and Sonic, Wario and Diddy during the time of Brawl, amongst many others.
