Thing is, people want certain characters because they like them, simple as that, same way people don't want certain characters because they dislike them i.e. Red Hood. Also for many characters appearing in this game is a sure-fire way to bring them more attention to that character. Some people want characters soley because they bring uniqueness to the game, often time it doesn't have so much to do with a character being popular as it does with a character being unique, hence why the Red Hood fanbase, although strong, is still laughed at and looked down upon. They see us as angsty teenagers with no imagination and like some silly character who offers nothing new to the game, in a sense they are right because in the end, we want Red Hood because he is a cool character and we like him and have cool ideas. But not because he is a unique character, or compatible with some major characters like say, Black Manta, Darkseid, Atrocious, Static, ect. Hence why I don't really question people's preference for a character when I myself want Red Hood. Best we can do is show out respect for Red hood and show NRS how much we want him in a creative and positive way while respecting the views of everyone else. Who cares if people think we are jokes and insult us? We want our character in, that is the point of all this, not to convince people who already don't like him or want him in otherwise.
I think if we tweet Boon out support (Custom sigs, show him the forums, ect.) it will show him how much we want him outside of "Give us Red Hood!"
