>>13555937Late 90s was the era of anti-heroes. It wasn't just wrestling, comic books, movies, rap music, anime, video games was filled with 'badass' or 'anti-authority' type characters. Why the hell you think Eminem, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Matrix, 2pac, DX and Crash Bandicoot were so popular in that period? Nintendo was the big popular family-friendly company and Sony would let Crash Bandicoot "invade" the Nintendo HQ premises and promote him as the anti-mascot mascot. Sticking it to "the man" or establishment in charge was the cool shtick back then, son.
