I'm shocked, and saddened about what I've read for the last 6-7 pages.
I know there are trolls out there, and I know some people are unfortuanately mean against each other, but from my view, what Lampy even said in the K. Rool thread was not bad at all, really. Now what was bad, was the response he got when he posted it in here.
People started to encourage bullying, targeting a crowd, by putting all of one fictional character into a group of stereotypes, based on what some individuals have done in the past. I was sickened to see encouragement for bullying, trolling or not, it should not be ok.
It is sad that a game you are passionate about, a fictional video character you wish to see in a game makes you bad, because you support said character. I've never felt targeted, and I'm not coming out here trying to feel that way, but I think the whole bullying thing here is not something that should be encouraged, but rather handle with caution.
Smash is just a game, and if people are passionate about it, I think it's good, but every individual is responsible for their own action. Their preference should not be reflected on a whole group of fans, just because they are in the same fanclub as a couple of individuals who have made wrong decisions.
I'm pretty much just at a loss of words, this is really sad to read from a website you use daily, and have a lot of fun with.
