I agree with you and disagree with the downvotes you're getting. If this wasn't "Mario" it wouldn't likely get attention which arguably means all the attention is piggybacking off if Nintendo's famous ip and not anything having to do with putting it in VIM. If making a platformer in VIM was the interesting part then it should be interested with or without Mario. I see this same or similar issues with almost all copied IP. The author could have and arguably should have made something original. I find it so sad to see a fan spend 10,50,100,1000 hours making something with IP that doesn't belong to them so it can be taken away/banned/taken down when instead they could have made their own characters and it would be 100% theirs. It just seems like such a waste and a tragedy. The only exception would be if the work was a commentary or parody of the original IP but 99% of the time that's not the case.
