>>37576253Honestly I agree with this in the general sense of why people who hate Incineroar or even acknowledge bait threads don't just ignore them.
Catfags are happy. They got VGC, Smash, plenty of surprisingly good merch and a good amount of official art, M20, even the anime in general (Torracat may not evolve but we STILL get a much-appearing Incineroar). They ultimately can laugh off the increasing minority of haters and shitposters.
People who hate Incineroar meanwhile can just ignore threads and know even if Incineroar's a shillmon it'll end up like Blaziken and worst and Lucario at best, a mon that's always around in the background or a general Pokemon rep somewhere but no longer actively shilled. Gen 7 ends soon enough.
But, here we are, still being baited pro-or-anti-cat.
