Miiverse Hell

Description

Oh look, no boobs today, guess that means no one is going to see this picture.

Other then that, this is a idea that I had in my head for a little while.
Seeing that Miiverse is going to be shutting down soon this as the perfect chance to make this picture.
For those who don't know in Smash 4 (Wii U) there is a stage for the Miiverse, and each fighter has their own support page where you can post a message with the fighter you where using.
This has lead to some really awesome picture from artists that want to support their favorite characters, and then there are the pissy, whiny, salty children who had to post offensive things and dead memes in an attempt to be edgy...
Miiverse is cancerous at it's worst, and cringy at it's best.
For this picture, I pick my Smash 4 mains, Cloud Strife, Mewtwo, and Bowser.
Every post you see here are posts I've run across with each of these characters, and yes, some are worse then others...
This picture was pretty simple, I used a simplified versions of character.
The real fun was recreating the Miiverse posts.

So let's start with the average posts I saw for Bowser.
...Oh boy... Where do I start?
So as you can plainly see, there is some hardcore homoerotic stuff going on with Bowser's posts.
For some bizarre reason, Bowser has a pretty large following amongst the gay furry crowd.
He is a popular choice for "Bara" pairings, and what "Bara" you ask?
Well, it can be summed up as big muscular men doing sexual things to each other.
Also, Bowser as been labeled as a "Dilf" by some others, because single dads are hot...?
These kinda of posts started appearing in the Summer of 2015 and at first I thought it was an isolated incident.
But as I played on Miiverse more and more, I kept seeing more "Bara Bowser" appearing.
Some of there where VERY explicit as I clearly remember one picture being a full frontal nude of Bowser.
Most of these posts are likely deleted for the obviously sexual material and the "Bara Bowser" posts are rare nowadays.
Like my only popular Miiverse post said, I think Bowser's fans like him a bit too much...

Next, on to Cloud Strife.
Ahh Cloud, I remember when you where announced at the Smash Direct in November 2015, the internet collectively lost their shit and so did I.
I'll be honest, Cloud was the reason I played Smash 4 continuously for the next 6 months.
He easily became my main as I loved the way he played and it was just a dream come true to see my favorite character from the Final Fantasy series in my favorite fighting game.
...Then Miiverse happened...
Now I don't much care for Competitive Smash 4, but for Cloud I have to bring it up.
Cloud is a Top Tier character, and depending on who you play against in the Smash Community, you could get trash talked by some extremely salty people just for liking him.
Cloud's Miiverse posts where 50% salty asshole screaming about nerffing Cloud, 40% was rude messages like "Winning won't bring Aerith back", "Weeaboo/Anime Trash", and "Zack Dies LOL".
While the last remaining 10% was actually support for the character.
After Cloud came out as DLC, I quickly stopped using Miiverse as I saw the most cancerous kinds of posts for Cloud.
I'm sure other DLC characters had it worse, like Bayonetta and Corrin, but I stick around on the stage to find out.
Perhaps the salty people who can't stand Cloud just need to "Git Gud".

Now finally for Mewtwo.
Mewtwo was the very first DLC character in Smash 4 as well as a massive fan favorite seeing how his last Smash game was the hideously broken Melee 14 years ago.
While he was the character who got the most buffs since his reintroduction via patches I'm surprised to see he isn't despised despite being a high tier character.
His Miiverse posts are genuinely nice and very positive.
Many, many people where so happy to see Mewtwo make a return to Smash as other then Cloud Strife, Mewtwo was the 2nd most downloaded character for Smash 4.
The posts I saw for Mewtwo mostly revolved around people making wonderful art and some funny jokes and interactions with other characters.
That and there was this on going little Mewtwo posts that involved a Mewtwo named "3 Paws" who popped up everywhere.
Sadly not much else to say for Mewtwo, his return was celebrated and I barely saw any negative posts about Mewtwo at all.
I'm at least glad one on my mains has some positive posts.

So this is one of the reasons people are sad Miiverse service is about to end. I sadly couldn't get my hands on Smash Bros for Wii U during its boom period to enjoy this feature both it seems so in spot for each one, especially Cloud since people were bitching how he could make it to the game, haha.

Anyway, I bet Bowser won't miss this but Mewtwo sure will. Good job with the expressions and coloring for the three of them!
