::The definition of some is "an unspecified amount or number of". Theoretically, "some" ''could'' be "all". It is vague enough that a Waluigi fan won't feel accused, but everyone gets the idea that there are multiple culprits.

::Also, it's not that I don't want to single people out -- I'd actually ''rather'' single people out than to accuse a huge group of people who are not all responsible. I'd be fine with a list of every single Twitter user who participated in this; but that's unreasonable, so "some" accomplishes a similar goal.

::Yes, some is an important distinction, as otherwise the trivia point comes across as a generalization. Saying "men commit crimes" is a far greater generalization than "some men commit crimes" for instance. It's important that we don't imply that all Smash Bros and Waluigi fans (or at least, the majority of them) are like this.
