I never stopped running these the 25+ times before; someone I like probably has won no more than half the time. I even managed to continue running them with Jigglypuff winning. Again, it has to do with the fact I don't think this character fits the criteria. It's my contest, and I should have had the right to feel that way if it's at least a viewpoint you could understand. I don't have the privilege however.

You always have the right to disqualify something though. However, I think you made the right call by leaving it up to the people who nominated stuff, because I do recall it seemed way more people said Kirby fit, than didn't. I find that very respectable that you are able to leave it to the people to decide, and I would hope no one gives you crap for that. I can understand being bummed that something you don't think fits makes the contest, goes deep, or even wins, but it also meant that the majority of the people (those who like your contests enough to vote in them!) felt they were a fitting winner. And afterall, that seems like the whole point of this contest to me! People have different definitions of how they vote for people, and that's what makes it worth voting in the first place. There is plenty of subjectively involved. As you said, you thought Bowser was a bad winner because you consider him a poor ruler, but for others, that might not be their definition.

I just hope you don't get too bummed out, because I like you and what you've done for us!

This is a Star Trek character who wasn't in the contest. It was a non vote.

Well I'm dumb. I have heard people call characters by their Engrish names though, so apologies for my stupidity there.
