Why were boomers so skeptical of Donkey Kong Bananza?

I have no idea what kind of person has allegiance to Donkey Kong as a character.

All 3 of his arcade games are wildly different. All 3 DKC games have wildly different level design (and DK himself is not even playable in two of them). DK64 is just Banjo-Kazooie 2.5. And Returns/Tropical Freeze are fine SNES throwbacks but nothing really new or special. I have no idea what would cause someone to identify themselves as a "Donkey Kong" fan and what exactly that would mean.

Nintendo seemed like they were trying to distance themselves from Rare. It's now clear they weren't.

I can't believe I used to read this boomer faggot, I'm genuinely ashamed I used to adopt his talking points.

I've seen this posted here multiple times, and I still have no clue what the fuck it means
