OK, I understand...
I'm sorry for spamming this place with my Daisy talk...it's just that I'm a huge fan of her, and a fan of Smash in general. For the longest time I've been secretly hoping that she would make it into the game in some form...and she was rarely ever brought up. This was very disheartening.
I wasn't trying to troll - I wanted to make everyone more aware of what she could do and why I want her, and even gain a few more fans in the process. It seemed to have worked for a while, but the character threads closed down, and everyone seemed to outright hate the idea in the Rate Their Chances Thread. Since the Socials were not open to guests, it eventually got a bit lonely.
Convincing everyone about Daisy became a bit of an obsession, and got me banned from multiple forums...guess that you can't force people here or anywhere to like her as I did. I'll shut up about it now...
So does anyone want to play the game? My Rosalina skills are pretty good.
Since you seems to have understood, I guess I can share my expereince witrh you because......it might not sound obvious, but it actually can be related to this.
When I joined here, I was very shy, but then I became even more shy when I realised I wanted to say I would want Paper Mario for ssb. I knew that theseemingly popular opinion was that he was just another mario and seeing post int he old character threads made me really shy, I remember that the first time I ever said I would like him in ssb was a quite long paragraph and me being super super SUPER nervous to post it because I expected to not be taken seriously or soemthing.
But then I realised that I clearly overexagerated what is actually going on. There were supporters, but they weren't obvious and this is when i realised that he isn't even mentioned much. In fact, I even remmeber I freaked out when someone was saying positive argument about him in the very old rtc thread because i didn't felt the courage to say what he told since it's barely told.
Now, time passed and I gained a lot more confidence enough to disclose pretty much everything I thought, but I learned a very important thign from this painful initial experience: this is the internet, you will never ever EVER be able to convince most people you meet because it's jsut how the internet works: you have too much diversity to please everyone. Try to do this and you mgith easilly go insane because it is humanly not possible to do such a big thing.
So, upon realising this, I basically accepted that people woudl repeat the common but imo weak arguments and basically focus as hard as I can to bring up visisbility to why I thoguht he woudl be aweosme in smash. the difference here is I don't try to make people change their mind, i am trying to actually make my arguments considered. A lot of people woudl probably never get it woudl be a good idea until it is presented to it, I read some stuff about this and it was proven to be the case so that's why I focus so much ont he presentation and just let it go until people finds it. And then, I basically stick with supporters i build and keep them so that I won't have to rebuild the work I do int he future.
At the end of the day, you will meet detractor, anyone who supports a characters will have to deal with this,. but if you jsut focus on what you ahve and what you can do to make supporters somehow more present, then it feels good because it then feels that you make other supporters happy.
Don't try to push it when you realise you can't go fuirther, any characters has a limit and once the limit of support is reached, just preserve it. Who knows if more people will support you int he fiuture, but just don't try to push it beyond possibility.
I think I reached that limit on SB so I moved on to other stuff, but I am still happy that I actually at least made the idea more known here, altough, i didn`t forecasted i woudl be known for it
