I think it depends on how you use the word. If you say that a character deserves to be in because they are a popular character or are relevant, then you're just saying reasons why you think they would be a good pick for Smash, and there's nothing wrong with that. But if you say something like they deserved it over another character out of saltiness, that's when it goes wrong. It's not so much about the semantics as it is about their motivation for saying it. Are they just saying who they want to see or are they angry that their character didn't get in?
