Recognize that up until yesterday people such as the person you’re currently “calling out” were very sure that Erdrick was the SE rep and casted doubt on Geno’s chances of being the SE rep. You didn’t seem to have a problem with that even though you’re a “Geno supporter”.
After yesterday’s direct it became clear prominent leakers who were the main people championing Erdrick had received false information. A good deal of it. Therefore if their sources are giving out false information then that calls into doubt any information those sources have given which includes the 100% assurance that Erdrick is DLC. At the same time recognizing false information is in play it is logical that prior information that was suspicious to begin with is going to be re-examined with the information we have now. I feel like you’re misinterpreting things that have been posted. Erdrick now being seen as not a 100% lock and Geno being leakbait being cast into doubt does not mean that Erdrick can’t be DLC. If anything

has said it’s very possible that he could be revealed in a smash direct even when other people have already concluded he’s leakbait.
I honestly feel like this situation is the result of things getting muddled in this thread due to the fact that people are so welcoming of the discussion and support of SE characters other than Geno even when there are clearly other threads in place for that type of discussion that are not here. If anything sometimes it feels like people welcome it just to keep up the idea that Geno fans are all super positive and loving people to all fans because “that’s what Geno is like”, and we want Geno to return so therefore we can’t say a single even slightly negative thing about another character ever or else the internet will turn against us and by proxy Geno. What happens then (and what has happened here) is people pro other characters are then offended when discussion naturally shifts to Geno’s favor (or at least giving him an equal chance) because they feel entitled to their characters getting equal attention and support in this thread and complain that we’re being unfair or “bashing” said characters even though as has been pointed out this is the Geno support thread.
From what you’ve written it looks to me that you feel that Erdrick is entitled to an equal amount of discussion and support in this specific thread and that facts and speculation that imply he has less than an optimal chance are out of line. It was a mistake on your part to have that entitlement in the first place. It’s unfair for you to take out your anger on people in this thread and try to say we’re being bull**** when we’re using the thread for its intended purpose which is to discuss and support Geno’s chances. You can say we’re deluding ourselves and being bull**** but people could argue the same thing about the way you’re supporting Erdrick. The difference is that we’re discussing the character the thread is actually about.
Being completely on the level with you: I think you should take a break from posting or at least visiting this specific thread. Unless something seriously negative is revealed about Geno’s chances or pro Erdrick things aren’t going to change for awhile. You are not going to change people’s minds by presenting your arguments in this way, and if anything are eventually going to turn people against you and/or the character you’re supporting.
