I've accepted it. Bananza really helped smooth over the new design for me, Mario Kart World didn't help because the graphics in that game make him look underbaked.
Nintendo's at least shown that they care a lot about DK and only changed his design after a lot of internal debate (and they only changed his face because they wanted to make DK turn into a roided out Zebra). I think about how some other video game characters get all fucked up because they get passed to new people who believe it's their god given right to reshape them in their own image just look at Crash 4, and I am thankful that this is nowhere near that extreme or tone-deaf.
