Pretty much everything leading to Cell become perfect was a stupid decison.

Goku not killing Fat Buu when he had the chance.
Why are people calling Krillin out but not Vegeta? Both are responsible for Cell becoming complete, but at least in Krillin's case it was only "He could have prevented it but didn't", in Vegeta's case he actively helped Cell, that's much worse. Atleast Vegeta truly believed that he was going to solve the entire problem on his own. It was more a case of delusion or high risk taking. In Krillin's case it was an intentional, crucial mistake based on selfish desires. He knew the consequences of his actions and still decided to proceed. Vegeta didn't actually think his actions were going to backfire. Also, he almost managed to kill Cell anyway. Krillin deserves the most backlash by far. And I must point this out again, the audacity of Krillin judging people like Vegeta, Gohan and Goku after what he did made him seem like a hypocrite and very dislikable.

Krillin didn't necessarily know not using it would de-active #18 would cause Cell to absorb her, for all he knew Vegeta was going to kill Cell since he saw Vegeta kicking Cell's a***. It's destroying the remote altogether that was the really stupid move, but compared to literally helping Cell absorb #18, I'd say it's minor.

Like I said, Vegeta almost managed to kill perfect cell so in hindsight he almost succeeded while dumbass Krillin got his neck snapped for his troubles. I'm not sure why Vegeta is being brought up here though. He already got the most hate in this thread by far, and I never see Krillin getting ripped around here which in this case is very justifiable.

Vegeta "almost" killing Cell (which isn't even completely true, since Cell was heavily suppressed and did it to troll Vegeta) isn't a justifiable excuse, he didn't know how well he could beat Cell at all. You can also use that excuse on Krillin anyway, as far as Krillin knew Vegeta was going to kill Cell before he even had a chance to transform.
I'm not justifying either of them, both of them were stupid mistakes, but to say Krillin was worse than the guy who actually helped Cell is pretty bias.

Yeah, Vegeta and Krillin have made some dumb mistakes.
Goku's mistake was letting Frieza go, twice. He was literally going to let Frieza walk away. TWICE. To his credit, the third time was the charm, but Goku didn't know Frieza survived that time; I'm talking about when Goku powered down, and then when he gave Frieza his energy. I mean, seriously: Goku, don't be Jesus Christ! Just kill the bastard! Goku's naive forgiveness only looks good in hindsight.
The biggest mistake, I think, any character and just about every character has made and will make if they continue the series past BoG, is "letting the opponent get stronger/taunting them." SERIOUSLY!!!! What the f***. If I were engaged in a battle of which's result determines the fate of all Creation, I'm not going to slow down, exchange words with you, give you a chance to get better, just to fight you on "equal grounds." Heroes and villains make this mistake, in some form or another, like Frieza or, hell, even Mercenary Tao just toying around with Goku instead of laying the final blow early on. I know I'm many orders of magnitude stronger than you, you're my mortal enemy and killing you will grant me a psychological victory, I'm gonna lay your arse to waste in seconds, make sure you don't have legs to stand up with.

Dah to many to think  but here's some: -Krillin did not push the but go cause he love #18. -Vegeta let Cell absorbed it #18 for the pleasure of fighting, and having the honor to beat the strongest been alive. -Goku not finishing Fat Buu cause he wanted"The kids to take over". -Gohan not killing Perfect Cell cause"He must pay". -Vegeta ignoring Trunks warnings and risking he's life just to fight the androids. I would also add Goku not finishing off Freeza right when he turned SSJ. I could also throw in the Supreme Kaioshin letting those thugs steal Gohan's power used to revive Boo even though it was to follow them but still, he literally handed it to them.

If I may, can we just say Krillin and Vegeta's decisions are equally stupid? One was not more stupid than the other. Both were selfish decisions. Vegeta wanted a challenge and Krillin wanted a wife. The end.

Somebody who Gero and Trunks said was gonna destroy everybody and most importantly somebody who told him that her mission was to destroy Goku, his best friend. And he also knew that this same person killed him in the future timeline. He opted to save her instead of his friends and planet. He didnt even know that this android was capable of feeling either. Of cource that's more selfish. It's not even close.
Cell dodged vegetas blast on time, surpressed or not Vegeta almost succeeded, krillin did nothing except waste sensu beans because he was butthurt that his crush was absorbed. No bias here, I'm not the one sporting a sig of the character that Im defending.

It only makes him look worse. It would be a different story if 18 was a normal human who had nothing to do with this, but its not the case. On the contrary I already mentioned a list of reasons why it is crazy for Krillin to do that for her. So you have no point here.

My point was that helping Cell become perfect is a lot worse than simply not preventing it. Neither are good things, but one is worse than the other imo.

Vegeta is far worse Krillan did not want to kill her, she was no longer the threat, was scared, and from the moment she appear she was far less aggressive then they where told
Krilan did it to not kill someone, it was a mistake but THEN vegeta helped 18 get asorbed
Krillan just did not have the heart to press the buton vegta just wanted to humble cell
One is way worse
