Goomba Fallacy

The Goomba Fallacy refers to a phenomenon in which two groups with contradictory views are perceived as one group that contradicts itself.

This often happens on internet fandoms where due to large amounts of people interacting anonymously, it creates the illusion of people wanting multiple contradictory things at a time when in fact it is the result of disagreements between multiple sub-groups in the fandom.
"First fans wanted a larger cast, and now they want a smaller cast, these people don't know what they want!"

I save the Princess I stomp on the Goomba

A direct quote from 'Mario evades the IRS' by Solid jj. References Mario, as well as tropes of various games in the Super Mario franchise (i.e rescuing Princess Peach from kidnappings, or jumping on Goombas to clear platforming challenges). Commonly used to refer to the simplicity of Mario as a concept, by implying the character exists simply to regularly fulfill these two tasks.
Mario's purpose is essentially "I save the Princess I stomp on the Goomba."
