He is not most peoples "dream character". Sure some people might legitimately want him as a playable character but the majority of people saying stuff like "RIDLEY CONFIRMED, RIDLEY FOR SMASH, OMG RIDLEY" and seeing hints at Ridley in everything are just hangers on who probably don't even know who Ridley is other than being some kind of purple space dragon from Metroid. The only reason people care is because it has reached meme status.
Ridley got so much attention because he was one of the most requested characters in the west. Heck, even way back in melee when the first opening was shown at e3 or tgs or something, people started whooping and such when ridley appeared. Presuming people don't know who he is quite a leap in logic.
People aren't going to stop talking about ridley I'm afraid, until he gets added as playable, be it in smash 4 dlc, smash 5, or smash 2143.
