They remember the DX crotch chops but everyone forgets the RVD points-to-self. Big wrestling fan, our Waluigi.

The Funky Kong of the False Conscious a Marxist analysis of Waluigi by Lucy Pinder posted:

Waluigi is the logical end point of capitalism. His existence is the triumph of capital over creativity; he has no reason to exist beyond adding a simulacrum of novelty to a declining commodity. He is the committee designed end point of a franchise alienated from the ideas of play. To choose to play as Waluigi is the ultimate act of false consciousness, you may tell yourself you can engineer some kind of enjoyment when in reality this cynically designed character is playing you. Where one could see some joy in the running, jumping, shell throwing antics of the Super Mario Bros Waluigi brings nothing new to the table; he is simply an invitation to buy the latest iteration of Mario Tennis. Like the New Super Mario Bros games and the futile non-existence of Funky Kong Waluigi is Nintendo cynically selling back to you something you’ve already bought and demanding that you enjoy it.

Surprised you didn’t pick up on Fred Dinenage’s oft-cited text “Waluigi – the Gamma Caste: A Brave New (Mario) World” in which he delves into the (admittedly) heavy-handed use and meaning therein of a Gamma symbol emblazoned upon his cap. Dinenage traces back Waluigi’s origins to Huxley’s immortal text in which Gamma were described as the lowest of the autonomous working classes – given just enough individuality and social skills to interact with their Alpha and Beta superiors. Waluigi is a pale apparition of his brethren, bestowed just enough of the trademark plumbing insignia for Mario et al. to accept him, but with none of the originality or charm of a Birdo or a Ludwig Von Koopa. He is doomed to simultaneously suffer as a second class citizen – effectively no better than the anonymous, Epsilon-esque mushroom people.- whilst entombed in a mind and body with enough individuality and consciousness to be eternally tortured by such a plight.

But what of Waluigi? A strange being, mirroring the id as Luigi’s anxiety mirrors Mario’s ego. Does Freud have a place for this anti-id, or super-id? Indeed, if Wario is the pleasure principle, Waluigi is the death drive, the common unconscious desire for self-destruction. It is the self-defeating, self-deprecating, self-loathing part of our psyche. Waluigi is everything we hate about the world and living within it.

His characterization by voice actor Charles Martinet depicts him as constantly angry at everyone around him for “cheating.” He assumes that he will lose. His philosophy is pure defeatism. He is the source of Luigi’s neurotic tendencies and ultimately of the Ego’s eventual destruction. Waluigi is the desire for a game over screen, the wah-llowing pit of despair.

But there are a million other things besides Waluigi to direct ones horniness upon. It's not like people don't have options.

I think it goes weirder and deeper than that anyway. Explain this one
