You have to remember that the casual viewers of SiIva's channel and the shitposters in the comments section of their videos ALSO make up a large portion of the the voters, and they obviously aren't going to both see or listen to this message.

I just hope we'll have less this time around and the salt will be a bit less anyway. I actually put a bit of a rant about it, but cut it out since well, it was a rant unrelated to the thread. It was when I was talking about Nico Nico's anime sources then got distracted and went on a rant, I'll copy-paste the cut out part here, as I feel it's a very good analogy and matters if people see it in the right thread.

It's just like the fact that the REAL Smash Bros. kind of has three main regions, each with their own ideas, North America, Europe and Japan, and characters that may be beloved in one region may be despised or unjustly hated on for no reason in another, most infamously with Hero.

King for a Day kind of has the same thing as it also has three different sort of "regions" of viewers:

The people really close with the team, on the offical Discord like KirbyPMKN, TurretBot or Mr. E who usually lean towards cult fandom or music characters like Quote, Adam Levine, Daft Punk, Jack Bros. or Mariya Takeuchi, i.e. the SiIvaCord "region".

The people like me, Mrblock,Carlton or Johnnygang who are actively interested in King for a Day and follow it and talk about it a lot, yet don't really show up on the SiIvaCord or aren't THAT dedicated to the event since... we have lives I guess, yet still are active fan and commonly think about or engage in discussions about it. i.e. the SiIvaGunner Wiki "region" Said folks usually pick a specific character then stick with them the entire match and seem to favor characters with broad source material like Nico Nico, Thanos, Johnny Bravo or DJ Professor K.

And finally the people that know about it, but don't really visit the wiki or follow discussions, and just watch videos and shitpost in the comments section. i.e. the YouTube "region" Said folks don't really take their votes seriously, don't really think about the musical options and are instead more voting for shitpost options, and don't much like Japanese characters or any music character that isn't Weird Al, with a heavy preference for Western or meme characters like Mr. Krabs, Wario Partners, Jack & Elmo or Dr. Robotnik. Also a bunch also tend to be elitist like some of the Weird Al fans in the first tournament, pretty sure some of the stuff like Jack Bros. is fuel for elitists who'll bitch about lost potential with Persona rips, like the Weird Al fans complaining about all the youngsters voting for lit memes, weeb shit and "people who make talentless music" in the first tournament, since... that's some actual comments I found on some of his videos. .---.

Each is kind of like the analog to the main Smash regions, Japan is the SiIvaCord, i.e. being super respectful and patient of the creators, and mostly choosing cult characters not popular in other regions, the Wiki is Europe, the one kind of "eh whatever happens will happen, but this is still epic as shit and I'm happy with whomever gets in/wins" area with their votes mostly the same as whomever is North America, but being more respectful and putting more votes for legit characters, and the YouTube comments are basically North America, disliking and hating on anything favored by Japan considering it "weeb shit", heavily upvoting and going apeshit over meme characters or characters that would never ever get in (i.e. Goku 4 Smash) then rage when they don't their way, and just generally treat whatever it is as a big joke and are never serious about their votes for anything.

So case en point there's always that ONE bad region, that's salty and toxic about everything, but that's just how the internet works sadly. All we can do is just brace ourselves for it and ban any salty trolls and shitposters that may come from YouTube to complain. :/
