The Eternal Will of the Swarm
Yeah? And most people in the real world weren't rooting for ANY smash character in particular.At least K. Rool was a main antagonist in multiple games which sold a lot and starred in a cartoon. Comparing him to an obscure doll that only appeared in one spinoff game as a side character and is even less significant to the Mario series than Waluigi is ridiculous. Most people in the real world (aka not in this echo chamber) don't care about Geno or even know who he is.
It wasn't the actions of people in the real world that got Ridley in. It wasn't the actions of people in the real world that got K Rool in.
It was the hard core crowd.
Yeah, normies may recognize K Rool and Ridley more. But you have to remember that even the haters of K Rool called him obscure. irrelevant. A fossil of a bygone age. Past his time. "Nintendo are never going to use him again".
