>>128202402There's quite a bit i would like to talk about here.
>Nobody wanted to develop any human charactersWell there were some who wanted to bring in more human characters. Some examples are the priest, that Wario guy, the silver boy and the son of a mob boss.
>and a bunch of retards kept dismissing any new alien concepts as “the new chessbugs”To be fair there was only one guy introducing new species and the first ones he created were well received. But then he started introducing more and more, too many too fast. It became bloated and harder to keep up with them all so people got tired of it.
>or expanded the military baseThere was an attempt that i'll go into soon.
>or created a love interest for StellaThis next thing i'm gonna say kinda ties into a lot of what you said as well.
You see, the Anons there were very protective of Stella and didn't want her having a boyfriend, in fact everyone agreed to have her die a kissless virgin. The reason for this is that they believed that any love interest for her would just be a self insert. That's also the reason why there was never a counterpart to Connie. Well someone did make a counterpart to her, the silver boy i mentioned, who actually brought more to the stories of the military base and the Metal Empire but he was mostly ignored aside from a few plots made by just at least three people.
