I feel like the real redpill here is that the real issue that killed these contests aren't one singular event you can point to, but us as a collective. Yes even >>(you).
I would wager there really hasn't been a truly bad winner this year. Yet every single tournament that's been held thus far has sucked fucking dick because of the leeches who post in it.
>Shaggy and Banjo are bad because they are silent pity winners who only won because "they had to" (ignore that if Assholish Adult Swim Duo and Build Kings won I'd just be bitching about another campooner winner.)

>A few oddball picks did well in /his/ this year? Better completely kill the thread momentum by complooning about how /tnt/ ruined everything to a handful of people who don't know or care what that is!

>/trash/ qualifiers not looking to my liking? Better ruin the first round for everyone else by starting meaningless shitflinging and take down the voting forum!

>Man I'm bored. What's what? One of the side tournaments I've never cared about had some rickety results? Sure, I guess I can fit it a few posts talking about how they're ruined and should be shelved into my schedule before the thread ends.

>Why should I talk about /co/ girls I like with everyone else when I can instead talk about Hex, Temp, Cartoon Dads and Poopdick all to myself?
DUDE KING OF- woahg... is that Battler and Joey Wheeler getting raped via dubs? yeah, I'm thinking this is kek.

People now wish Daffy Duck, a character with all the best traits of a winner anybody should strive for, didn't actually make it all because one guy has made it his week's work to spam a shitty catchphrase at every opportunity. The worst part is that I can't even tell anymore if those "people" are real or him again trying to astroturf his falseflag.
