You'll recall, of course, that Anti-Shrinkers possess the odd tendency to froth at the mouth like they're suffering from a heroin overdose at the mere thought of their 25-year headcanon being invalid. The only antidote to this is to cajole as many people as possible into saying that shrinking is stupid because if they gain enough solidarity, they can trick themselves into thinking this piece of lore will be omitted. The idea that their ignorance will one day be validated provides temporary comfort from their woes. Until someone points out all the different sources that corroborate the shrinking story, or how Pokemon being the source of the shrinking phenomenon changes practically nothing about the material
given that the material has been formed around this notion since 1995, and so on, and so forth.
