I was there on /v/ when the Adeleine/Bandana Dee rivalry was born. Because I'm the one who started it and I'm the one who lead the Adofag uprising that sparked her resurgence in popularity across the Internet, although admittedly BitF and Pixiv artists laid much of the groundwork first, I merely utilized it. I was tired of seeing her treated like nothing but a non-canon footnote in Kirby's history while Bandanafags acted like cocks of the wall. I posted all day every day for years formulating strong arguments and changing minds. I found and personally roused Ado's most diehard fans when they were ready to call it quits, and they did the same for others. At the same time, I coined the term "hat goomba" and tarnished his reputation religiously until a few years ago. By the time or Star Allies' pre-release, it grew out of my hands..Ever since I got a job and made friends, I gradually stopped caring about the conflict. Not surprised to see some people are still keeping it going, but the way things are these days, I don't think it's needed anymore. They both have a place. But if I keep seeing people slander her and those who love her, I'll find the time play your war games once more. You won't win, not in the end.
