Why shame the newcomers? Every Oswald fan's goal is to get Oswald to a point of popularity where Disney will finally do something with him, so why does it matter If they were introduced to him via Epic Mickey? A game which is responsible for Oswald's current level of popularity to begin with. Without that game Oswald would have most likely remained an obscurity and been forgotten along with Julius the Cat from the Alice Comedies.

And what of the game's success in driving in newcomers managed to get Oswald so popular? It was the fact in which they made Oswald a sympathetic character in which people could empathize with. So much so at times that they'll even share Oswald's greviances and parrot his dialogue from some of the cutscenes like when he accused Mickey of stealing his fame despite the two having no control over their circumstances. Blaming the fans for learning about Oswald via Epic Mickey is no better than Oswald blaming Mickey for being successful is what I'm saying as both instances happened out of pure chance rather than deliberate intent.

A fan who had just finished watching Oswald's entire character arc should not feel consrained to immediately go look up hours of research on his entire history up before falling in love with the character. Trust me, when a person loves something, they'll eventually learn more about them voluntarily.
