the way I see it, people wanted Ridley before Brawl was announced for numerous reasons why anyone would want any character ( awesome looks, attacks, etc. ) but after they made him a boss in Brawl, some people thought this meant that he's just TOO BIG. This lead ridley supporters and ridley opposers to debate long and hard about whether or not size was an issue, but now that they are (sort of) at an agreement that it doesn't, they now instead debate on whether or not Ridley's size is any more or less relevant than others.

tldr; Fans argue too much about the most meaningless stuff, so now the only legit reason for a person to oppose ridley would be because they just don't like him and that's it. and My (and pretty much a lot of people's) only reason for wanting him in is so that people will shut up about him.
