I& #39;m sorry, this is a very bad take and terribly misinformed. Like yeah, the people in Cappy Town are terrible people, but acting like Dedede& #39;s the victim here is far from the truth. https://twitter.com/Plattttttinum/status/1302717360307085313">https://twitter.com/Platttttt...
"They’ll also bitch about higher taxes but then complain when they don’t get playgrounds or a museum for professor Curio."
If I was paying high taxes and saw absolutely none of it being put back into making the town better, I& #39;d be pissed off, too! Where is it even going?

Dedede is taking their money and they aren& #39;t seeing any of it back. Where is it going? Either in his pocket or to Nightmare Enterprises most likely. If he can pay for 3 schools "out of his own pocket" as you say later, why can& #39;t he spend the tax money on playgrounds or museums?
"Maybe if you weren’t complete assholes to Dedede all the time and put in the effort to help fund those things, he’d build them."
As a ruler, it is his job to serve his people. Them bitching in private about their taxes is not them being an asshole.

He could easily build these things and make everyone content. But he doesn& #39;t. Instead, he goes out and talks shit to them to their faces and make them feel miserable because how dare they not be rich like him. How dare they be lowly peasants.
Dedede clearly does not see his people as people(or cappies in this case). He sees them as objects he can use and abuse as much as he wants. This is very clear in the first episode, where Kirby was woken up because Dedede ordered a monster to terrorize Cappy Town.
He had no reason to do this. Cappies are cowards who wouldn& #39;t do anything to Dedede, so why would he feel the need to basically destroy their town? If it& #39;s for them being pieces of shit, he needs to grow a backbone or start acting like a decent ruler.
"[...] Tiff and her entire family a place to stay inside of his castle *RENT FREE*."
Her dad& #39;s the Prime Minister. If we& #39;re to assume that their monarchy is like the UK one, Dedede specifically chose him as the Prime Minister, so him living with Dedede makes sense.

"And yet he comes over for a meal literally ONCE and they bitch about it?"
Who did? Tiff? Yeah, she& #39;s the only one with a brain cell in town. Her parents were fine with it. And it& #39;s not like Dedede& #39;s broke and can& #39;t afford food he likes. He just wants to mooch.

"He did this with a shit ton of residents too, yet HES the asshole?"
If the president said he was coming over to my house and expect a full course meal from my broke ass the same day, I& #39;d think he was and asshole, too.

"His servants, the Waddle Dees, are also treated like royalty he gives them 3 giant meals a day and a place to live, and all he has them do in return is walk around the castle to guard it or cook him food."
That& #39;s literally what servants do? I don& #39;t know what& #39;s so special ab this

"They made them do literally everything, and you know what they fed them? [...] Kawasaki’s food, aka the shit the Cappys all refuse to eat [...]."
Remember when Dedede literally sold them to the cappies to work for them? Because they ate too much? I& #39;m not saying the way-
Remember when Dedede literally sold them to the cappies to work for them? Because they ate too much? I& #39;m not saying the way-
the cappies treated them was good, but Dedede had every single waddle dee working for him while the cappies didn& #39;t have nearly as many as Dedede had, nor do they have the money to pay for so many mouths to feed, especially if they eat a lot.
Dedede was the one that put the waddle dees in this situation and encouraged the cappies that it was fine. And the waddle dees went back to Dedede because they& #39;re so loyal to him. Dedede basically scammed his people, as he always does.
"[...] all Dedede wanted was ONE person to appreciate him."
What has he done for his people to deserve appreciation? If I remember correctly, he got jealous because everyone in town has a day for people to appreciate them, created by the townsfolk. Cause they deserve it.

Dedede was like "people don& #39;t appreciate me so I& #39;m gonna make them" and threw a bitchfit when his narcissistic ass didn& #39;t get it. A good leader doesn& #39;t demand respect, they earn it. That& #39;s something anime Dedede can never have.
"Let’s not forget about how Dedede also built THREE schools out of HIS pocket."
The schools are a perfect example of how Dedede actually works. He built these schools not for the betterment of his people, but for his own selfish wants.

He always has a selfish reason for doing things. He only cares about himself first. Rarely has he ever shown care for someone else and it& #39;s usually when something terrible is about to or has happened(mostly doing with Kirby).
Saying he build schools means nothing.

"Kirby is nice, but he’s uncontrollable, and a potential menace to the kingdom."
He& #39;s a literal infant and only reason he& #39;s there is because of Dedede. Even when Kirby was about to leave, Dedede shot him down and didn& #39;t bother trying to help fix his ship.

"[...] the Mayor bastardizes Dedede for wanting to eat one of his sheep [...]"
What episode is this? I thought it might have been Sheepwrecked but I skimmed through it and the mayor just let him take the sheep. No questions asked.

"[...] and yet when Dedede comes to visit for a meal with the intention on paying the mayor MILLIONS, he throws away all those morals and slaughters a lamb himself to feed to Dedede. So it’s ok when you do it but not when Dedede does?"
Yes, because he& #39;s getting money.

"Maybe he wouldn’t keep ordering monsters if the residents of Cappy Town didn’t treat him like shit all the time."
This is a very abusive mindset. Dedede& #39;s the one with the power and influence, and yet him terrorizing his people because they don& #39;t like him is okay?

I can& #39;t even begin to explain why this is so bad. My brain is literally blocking it off holy shit. What the fuck.
"In the mean time, they can’t just accept that Dedede turned over a new leaf."
Because he only does good things for his own benefit and maybe this is another scheme of his. And as someone who& #39;s been abused by multiple people, I wouldn& #39;t trust him either. He doesn& #39;t deserve it.

Also I& #39;m not saying that them hitting Dedede was good, I& #39;m just saying treating him as the victim when he was basically doing the exact same thing to his people is bad.
Also remember how Escargoon was the one that did the finishing blow? Yeah.

"Oh did I mention that he also gave them all free TVs? Oh and he personally makes every show, just for their enjoyment."
Yeah, for his own ego. All his TV shows are about him.

Also didn& #39;t he use the TV for news to make people turn on Kirby? Ya know, the one who protects the town from what Dedede does?
"[...] on his Dis Day [...]"
Dis Day was created by Dedede. While what they did to Kawasaki and other members of Cappy Town was terrrible, just remember: this was Dedede& #39;s fault because he can& #39;t take a L.

"Anyways that’s it for my rant on how Dedede is actually a good king and person, and how the residents of Cappy Town are all ungrateful scumbags who deserve to be attacked by monsters."
Most if not all your points are easily disproven by actually watching the show-

and understanding the dynamic of the characters and their place. Also saying that Cappy Town deserves to be attacked by monsters is kinda supporting genocide imo.
"Tiff just cannot let Kirby have friends that aren’t her."
He& #39;s a literal baby and the only one who keeps an eye on him. Plus, all 3 of the "friends" you mentioned tried killing him at some point, so like.

She& #39;s honestly more like his mom than a friend. Plus she kinda moms her brother too, so it& #39;s just in her nature to worry.
