Yeah, but a lot of people like that on sites like IGN also tend to want every Mario character ever. Waluigi, Daisy, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Rosalina, Toadette, Bowser's kids from Super Mario Bros. 3, that one random character that spoke 3 lines in that one Mario game, etc.
Heck, on Smash Boards there was a joke movement to make Mr. L a playable character (in reality, we just wanted an alternate costume of him. Meanwhile on IGN (or at least I think it was IGN), there was a serious movement to "push" Sakurai to make Mr. L playable.
Many of said supporters even wanted Mr. L to replace Luigi, and felt it was a likely possibility!

It was simply organized chaos...
