Noodles makes a reference to rigging a vote for a blond guy but I have it on good authority that the primary to that vote was rigged for a lizard woman and she then lost the final election because it turns out rigging the primary election to have a less popular candidate enter into the final election was a dumb strategy. Literally along the lines of shooting yourself in the foot in an effort to win a marathon.

The entire series is non-canon anyway, the proper way to go about this would be to discontinue the entire series.

But regardless, support.

1. It was a joke (serious answer).
2. Just because somebody did a bad thing does not mean that another person (even their opponent) cannot do the same bad thing. So just because your lizard lady may have rigged the vote on her end does not prevent the blond guy from having rigged it on his (joke answer).
3. IT WAS A JOKE!

It was an inaccurate joke! And when one person actually cheated... clearly they should be the one made fun of for cheating.

I wouldn't call it inaccurate. The blond guy lost the popular vote by a significant margin and only won the vote via the electoral college. At best, this is just exploiting the electoral college system (which is still voting shenanigans). At worst, this is a result of gerrymandering (which is basically the legal method of rigging a vote).

Beyond that, this is Noodle we are talking about. Just how effective do you think he'd be at rigging a human election? Noodle might be one of the more effective penguins, but that's not saying much when you consider how they are one of if not the most ineffective races on Gielinor.

In conclusion, grow a spine, and get over it. IT IS A JOKE!

Just because it happens to be a joke at the expense of somebody you may prefer (or because it is not directed at the person you dislike more) does not mean that it should be changed.

Grow a brain! The electorial college isn't cheating, it has been the only vote that mattered the entire time. And the public were the ones that made it that way and didn't have any objection until it suited their needs.

Winning by the established rules isn't cheating, rigging the vote is. And only one candidate did that.

I think Wolfie's whole point of this thread was that Jmods really shouldn't have put that joke in. They should've known people were going to react like this.
