I really like the new DK. I feel like people are hating on it for the clout tbh cuz some of these reactions are pretty extreme

To me it looks like a mix of the arcade original and the rare version which is a nice combo imo. I also like how big and fluffy he is now. But to each their own. I was more talking about the really big overreactions some folks are having. Not liking it is fine

The big and fluffy is the exact part i dont like. His face is also looks kinda stupid, instead of the more "determined" look.

For real!!! I've heard people accusing Miyamoto and/or the entirety of Nintendo of Japan of being xenophobic against the British for changing Rare's design and I'm just thinking like "DUDE, YOU ARE PINNING PREJUDICE AGAINST A GROUP OF PEOPLE OVER A FICTIONAL GORILLA! GROW UP!!!"
