As much as I adore 'big' guys, I have low tolerance for idiots. and if the game series, and TV series, is any indication ... D3 is one of the biggest imbeciles in Nintendo villain history. I simply wouldn't feel comfortable being with him in that way.
Let's get things straight here...
Only anime Dedede is a moron. Game Dedede is arguably smarter than Kirby, he just has some impulse control issues (he stole Dreamland's food because he just really REALLY loves eating, not to be a ****). He sealed Nightmare away in Adventure before anyone knew about it, even rallying a good portion of the population to his cause, including Meta Knight (though he did undermine his own effort by bathing in the fountain, but again... impulse). He enacted a fairly thorough revenge plot to settle once and for all the grudge he felt towards Kirby for beating him in combat long ago, and so far it seems to have stuck: he has never personally challenged Kirby again, and in fact if Return To Dream Land, Epic Yarn and Triple Deluxe are any indication, the two are practically BFFs now (the last title also has him quell the hidden threat of Dark Meta Knight returning from the Mirror World). It's hard to even call him a villain anymore.
A lot of this can also be said for Bowser, except he possesses the additional flaw of a huge ego that won't let him accept defeat at the hands of Mario, no matter what (blame bad parenting from Kamek). Dedede, despite his self-proclaimed status as king doesn't take it for granted as just a licence to do whatever he wants, he actually sees it as a responsibility. Not a big one considering the general laziness of Pop Star's inhabitants, but he defends them nonetheless, or at least tries to.
