1) Nintendo supported the creation of Bayonetta 2. To the point that it wouldn't have been made without that support. She's pretty firmly established as a Nintendo exclusive now, even if third party.
2) She won the European Smash poll and topped the charts in other regions.
Is this so hard to understand?

Newsflash: Men sexualize fucking everything, even women who are or aren't sexualized on purpose, don't act like it's a surprise, just let men have some fucking fun. So why not make a game where females can have their fun too? It'd be not only a plus to women,but a plus to gay men as well since most women have male standards that are almost equivalent to gay men.
EVERYBODY WINS, EVERYTHING GETS SEXUALIZED, EVERYONE IS TREATED EQUALLY

It's really not ok for any woman to dress like a slut, which 90% of attractive girls 13-35 do.

SJW's can't decide if they're sexual revolutionaries or sexual conservatives. On one hand they want to rid media and culture of "sexualization" but they also want to fight for uninhibited, unabashed fetishism to the point that it's considered equivalent to race or religion.
I'm afraid that most people on /v/ are anti-SJW because they're reacting to the sexually conservative parts of the SJW movement, when in fact those are the only correct parts of the SJW agenda. Sexualization IS objectively harmful to society and the arts. Look at fucking neo-Fire Emblem.

The Smash roster would just get inundated with bara bait if Fire Memeblem took waifus out of the equation. At least the cancer taking over that franchise makes the representation for the series a little more bearable. It's 6 swords with sausages as far as the eye can see or 6 swords with a few chicks thrown in. You decide.
Your point is shit anyway, though. Sexualization didn't stop the Bayo games from being good. It's just a boogeyman you landwhales conjured to feel better about your 360 degree curves while being jealous of women that resemble actual humans.

How can she be a fucktoy or a slut and at the same time a more than obvious dominant cockteaser who takes shit from no one? I mean, what do these morons have in their heads that makes completely opposite and obvious concepts merge somehow into whatever kind of fucked up notions they....never mind, they are con artists after all.
>>320718251
False dichotomy. Fire Emblem wouldn't even exist anymore if it weren't resurrected by waifufags.
This isn't even about Smash slots. Fire Emblem as a series, like SMT, was ruined by waifufags, and so indirectly was Smash.
>>320718582
Once Snake got in all bets were off. Bayonetta got in, so what? Me? I would have preferred Simon Belmont or Joe Musashi, but we got Bayo, and she's a fine choice. She's gets a hell of a rub for being in a game with 6 game Icons(Plus Samus vs. Bayo, The original badass female in games against the current Queen)
Well at least the salt isn't as bad when Ryu got in.

Shhhh, don't trigger them with facts.
>>320719075
How was Smash ruined by waifu fags? Bayonetta was objectively a better choice than the yawn-inducing names being thrown around in the lead up to the direct (K. Rool, Bandana Dee, Wolf, etc.). Samus was always a fixture, Rosalina is unique, so is Wii Fit and all the other girls are inconsequential gender swaps of existing characters.
>>320714671
I still believe that most of the NA choices were shit like Goku or literal meme characters like Shrek, there might have been a couple of actual decent choices, but they probably weren't as high overall as Bayonetta.
I'm 100% fine with her, she was my #1 with Isaac and Inklings behind. Kinda both glad and sad that Isaac didn't make it, because of the sheer number of FE reps and people with swords already, though I'd imagine he'd play more like Robin than others.
Bayonetta is a representation of modern games, and is one that rides the line of gritty realism and absolutely crazy. It helps that she also stands out from the crowd of modern character designs as they are either super cute blobs or interchangeable humans
Aside from Cloud, all the others are really old characters, and even Clouds getting on a bit and is from an entirely different era.

Fanservice
A lot of people wanted a third party character because (almost) all the biggest Nintendo characters were already in (and wasting votes on veterans is stupid).
Bayonetta probably won because most people voted before Cloud, and possibly Ryu,was announced.
Before Cloud and Ryu were announced there was a limited number of third party characters that were reasonable to expect.
People simply wanted the character they liked the most out of the characters they though had the biggest chance of being "reasonable".
And out of all third party characters I'm pretty sure Bayonetta was the character most people assumed to be the most reasonable.
>>320720609
