I've sustained a workplace injury from excessive repetitive motions several months ago and just now I got my CA-2 approved so that's cool. My right forearm hasn't felt the same since I first felt it all the way back in June.

I like how you're a big fan of Mario Kart Wii. I loved playing that as a teenager against my dad all the time. First Mariokart game I ever owned-first one I ever played was one they had at the orthodontist's office for the kids to play back when I still had braces (I HATED having those on my teeth lol).

Sometimes I can't tell if Brawl in the Family's depiction of Waluigi is generally a good thing or bad thing for the reputation of the character.

I guess it's good in that it's a popular webcomic so making Waluigi one of the standout characters augments his popularity, and he's kind of funny.

But it could also be bad because he is depicted as the most repulsive and unwanted thing in the world, and he also is drawn purposefully much uglier than usual as his regular depiction.

I am probably inclined to think that there is some good with it, but... I can't deny that negative influences exist.

Thank you for reading.

Waluigi might be exaggerated and over the top but all his disrespect and crudeness is for humour and not a way to denigrate the character imo. It's irreverent but playful, he's the likeable jerk. It's similar to how Wario is in some of the games, such as his selfish attitude in WarioWare.

Ditto what LGM said, a character being depicted with negative traits is not necessarily a negative thing for the character's reputation. Plenty of people love characters in spite of, or even because of, their bad traits. There's a reason why villains are so popular!

It's also worth noting that a character being annoying in-universe and being annoying to the actual audience don't always overlap. Waluigi can be a nuisance to the rest of the characters in-universe, but that's okay because his antics are meant to be entertaining for the audience, not to make you groan whenever Waluigi shows up in a comic. It doesn't hurt his reputation and it's not supposed to. Thinking about comedies in general, I'm sure we can all think of characters who are entertaining to watch even though they're often irritating to the characters around them (and would probably be irritating to us if they were someone we knew in real life!).

Yeah, I think this sounds about right. The character's portrayal in the comic might make them appealing through their ignobility. Perhaps it's why Waluigi stuck out the most? I don't think any other character had this much focus for one that's "loved to hate" (at least, I doubt Wario or any villain like Bowser is treated as "love to hate" in that comic, nor did they have this much focus).

What I just thought about is another way Waluigi might be dismissed: using this comic to say that Waluigi's popularity and appeal are artificial because of the claim that Brawl in the Family did the heavy lifting, dismissing anything outside this like the games for contributing to his popularity.

Still, I think that it's good that the creator of comic has no ill will towards Waluigi (unlike a surprising amount of Smash Bros. fans), based on what he mentioned about him and how Waluigi still gets some focus like that Wallelujah song.

Thank you for reading.

I just beat the 193 United Nations Member States quiz. It's on the website Seterra if any of you would like to try that or other map quizzes.

Hey MiracleDinner I said this on the "Hotdogs or Hamburgers" thread already but be careful; I heard there was an E Coli outbreak at McDonald's involving their "Quarter Pounder" hamburgers (or maybe they're cheeseburgers; I don't remember) so you should probably not eat those right now. Might not want to eat at McDonald's just in general for a while until they find out what contaminated ingredient(s) caused it.

I know a lot of people are feeling down currently, but look on the bright side! Mario & Luigi: Brothership releases tomorrow! That's something to look forward to!

Also, I will be playing the game once I receive it tomorrow. This means I won't be active on the wiki and seldom active on here and Discord. Enjoy the game everyone!

I almost feel like a freak when I admit that school is way too easy for me. It feels like I'm saying something illegal, but I just genuinely don't find a lot of my classes engaging/challenging

I don't know if I'm the only one, but James Carther Cathcart/Jimmy Zoppi and Amy Birnbaum as Vector the Crocodile and Charmy Bee in Sonic X - Sonic Rivals 2 respectively just had something about their portrayals of their character voices that made it sound very unpleasant to listen to, like the voice actors sucked the air out of a helium balloon. Am I the only one who thinks that?

As much of a decent show I believe Girl Meets World to be, I will never forgive them for the downright insulting manner in which they covered autism as a subject in one of their episodes. They played it off like it was some sort of life threatening disease, which I, as a person who's been diagnosed with classic autism at the mere age of 2 and have been made aware of since about the age of 6, am very offended by. Like I said, I find Girl Meets World to be a decent show with a decent cast of actors and actresses, but I certainly don't like the show's close-minded treatment of autism.
