No matter how much people try to dress it up as "bad characterization", unless I see a discussion on here about Krystal that doesn't result in glorified furry bashing, then I'm going to continue to say that Krystal only gets as much as hate as she does because of furries

I just mentioned that I wouldn't be completely surprised if Krystal got in the new game... didn't say it was something I wanted or expected (it's neither), but some people apparently get really but hurt at somebody even bringing up that it is a possibility.
No. It was people getting upset because some people said Krystal was a bad character and that post-64 Starfox games were subpar. Of course every character has a chance of getting in, but I think her chances are south of 50%.

ANYWAY, if I really wanted to start something I would being up the fact that Geno is a secondary character in a game that barely sold over 2 million copies 17 years ago, and that it's not even considered the best Mario RPG by most fans of Mario RPGS. But I won't.

I really hope we hear more about the online system soon.

(Also, that first level of SF: Assault was so great that it made me hate the rest of the game for not being like it)

Totally not giving a **** about the topic on hand...

The only thing about the vets that have returned that I'm happy about is Bowser. He looks promising this time around. Like drop kicking Mario. That's the best thing I've ever seen. And him actually running and not fart rocketing... Or whatever the hell he's doing.

He was driving his invisible car, he got it on loan from Wonderwoman

Way to hyperbole. Try again.
Really now? You act as if suggesting any female character is because of boobs unless it's ones you personally support/expect. That's just one example. Your problem is that you present stereotypes as no-exceptions facts and that you use double standards.

I'm not joining in this Kyrstal war/conversation or whatever this is.
2 reasons why.

1: I've never played Starfox.

2: I don't like getting pulled into arguments.

Actually people did give good reasons for why they don't like her as a character.

The hate for Krystal comes from several things:
1. The quality (or lack thereof) of the post-64 games.
2. People not liking her design (especially the scantily clad and skintight ones)
3. Her characterization in every game she has been in (especially Command).
4. Furries
5. Obnoxious and perverted fanbase (especially during pre-Brawl).

I don't really pay attention to fan hate if it's purely because of seeing the character. If you haven't play Star Fox Adventures, Star Fox Assault, or Command, then you can't really say you hate her even you haven't seen in her actually setting. That's like saying you hate a movie without seeing the movie. She fits in nicely with the Starfox Team.

Nope. Try again.

I don't personally support or expect Anna. Have you ever seen me attack her?

I don't personally want or expect Lip either. I don't attack her either.

Go do something more productive with your time than get into a slapfight.

1 has nothing to do with Krystal herself

2 ties into 4 and 5 which is my point

3 is a solid reason but still not enough to justify the amount of hate that I've seen

Nice logical fallacy.
Are you really that dumb? For each of those cultures, there's homophobia, "heathen", and all the **** following 9/11 respectively just for those three alone. I could toss in the Cold War for Russians, Dey Turk Ur Jerbs for Mexicans, and "tree huggers" for environmentalists.

Isn't 5 a reason of 4? Those reasons are horrible. To counter the first reason, there are characters that are in Sma4sh that are both from pre and post 64...............so why don't people hate those characters?

VICTINI SHOULD TOTALLY BE IN SUPER SMASH BROS 4 BECAUSE HE'S NOT KRYSTAL.

Moving on, I really don't see Victini coming in as a newcomer, which sucks, cause I really had high hopes of him.

Kind of the ****hole when it comes to newcomer desires; you'll be disappointed somehow.

Somewhere... overthinking something

Also, no, there is no rational reason to literally hate a character for a number of reasons:

1. They're not real.

2. They have no real impact on your life or well being.

3. Psychologically speaking, hate stems from being hurt physically, emotionally, or mentally by something or someone. By saying you truly hate a fictional character, you are implying that they have somehow done this. Hate also stems from the fear that the culprit will repeat their actions which, again, is completely implausible for a cartoon character.

Hate and dislike are not synonyms. Hate stretches far beyond just disliking something to the point that encountering or even thinking about it causes your parasympathetic nervous system to start pumping out cortisol (a stress hormone) as if the thing in question could LITERALLY kill you which, once again, is beyond absurd for a blue, anthropomorphic, cartoon fox.

He's talking about the "decline" of the series (because some people actually like the post-64 games) following Starfox 64. Really though, Krystal is just a scapegoat for the hate of the post-64 games much like Shadow was for the longest time. Then again, having that Shadow the Hedgehog game didn't exactly help.
