How would you explain King Shadow being evil in Ian's version?
>>57365513520 years of missing information
>>573655135Sally manipulated him on purpose. When Sonic reappeared she switched gears and pretended to be the victim
We need more Bunnie
>>573654890>speedrunYeah that's why I said it lolHas he ever posted anything other than Green Hill Modern?>Did he actually address them specificallyYes, the "aligned exactly to their vision" post features Japanese clips of Amy and Maria https://x.com/MisterCrits/status/2075346048206442951
>>573655365She's so fucking cute

I have to actually type out enough text to bypass the spam filter. Some of you lads and lasses need some serious help. A lot of text is needed btw. Like, a lot. A ton. More even. Reconsider your life choices like I'm doing for myself. You'd think this would be enough words but nope. It keeps going on. Stop raping guys. Some more still required. It's kinda absurd if you think about it. The text and the rape. Even more. If you were wondering, it w̶a̶s about 15-17 posts out of the 750 total, and I probably missed a few. That's like 2% of the entire thread directly about rape, if not more. Wondering if more is still needed? Yup, it is. I've filled out the caption like 13 times now. I'm quite fond of Sonic Battle and Gemerl, if anyone was curious. This all cause you people can't stop raping. It's ludicrous. This post will p̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y DEFINITELY end up in the next thread at this point. Kinda bummed that Belgium kicked America out of the World Cup. Wow this really does keep going on and on.>>573655365Yes we do
>>573655809I said nothing about rape you spamming retard, don't quote my posts ever again and get off this site
TANABA-
>>573655809get raped
>>573655449>>573655571Sorry, I'm reading through stuff. Moving it over to this thread.https://x.com/MisterCrits/status/2075577805027582296https://x.com/MisterCrits/status/2075585903234584768
>>573655982If your post happened to be one of the few that wasn't direct in its language, then its implications remained clear as day. Don't play coy now. And I'll quote whoever I want on this site. Cease sexualizing little lads and lasses at once.>>573656148No thanks
>>573656165It's funny seeing the fandom get all up in arms about information/sthg/ already knew about.
>>573655749Shadow's wife
>>573656229Cream sexualizes herself by existing. She is irresistible.
>>573656165>We updated based on notes. Updates are integrated back.He literally admitted that they want English changes to be retroactively applied to the Japanese originals and tried to spin it as a positive>>573656229I didn't say or imply anything about rape, you are retarded
>>573656229Rape isn't a choice idiot.
If you literally have no headcanons about the characters none of this stuff is news. Not the bios. Not the Penders stuff. Nothing.
>>573656404The thread's just begun and already we're back it.>>573656426>I didn't say or imply anything about rape, you are retardedWhy don't you specify which post I quoted is yours?>>573656441Yes it is. I'll just consent. Can't rape me if I'm willing, as I'm an adult.
>>573656426>He literally admitted that they want English changes to be retroactively applied to the Japanese originals and tried to spin it as a positiveAccording to one of the tweets, the pic is from Evan, so apparently yeah, they just want to roll over the JP stuff, too.
>>573656573No one would want to rape you anon.
Calling a black man "white" stings more than calling him a nigger.
>>573656661>cool and edgyShadow is dumb and edgy in the comics and cool and edgy in the games.
>>573656404Tails...
>>573656718Don't care, saying nigger is more fun.
>>573656885niggers lol nigger lel nigger nigga negro
>>573656426>>We updated based on notes. Updates are integrated back.Also notice how in this reply he says "this is also a direct form of communication" when the person he's replying to says Sonic Channel is direct from Sonic Team and shouldn't be alrered. These people try really hard to position themselves as being as legitimate as the people who actually make the games. It's hilarious.
>>573656404>>573656634Mr. Sonic...
>>573657047Should add that he also calls his work "game dev" in other replies lol. These glorified PR workers need to be humbled.
>>573657047I find it more sad than funny, particularly because some people actually fall for it or praise it, but yeahI wish everyone just laughed at it instead of taking it seriously. Same goes for the "canon" stuff
>>573656885>>573657002
I think we can all agree that IDW has been a disaster for the Sonic franchise.
>>573657220All it gave us is sheep tits.
>>573657002
>>573657162He probably thinks "game dev" also means someone who edits character profiles while never coding anything in his life.
>>573657220It's the worst part of the franchise with the worst fanbase and only fags will disagree.
>>573657284But I wanna fug the bug.
>>573657164It's more frustrating than anything, this is a difficult situation for the franchise to get out of. Might as well get some laughs from it though.>>573657325We seriously need more people to start calling this type of stuff out.
>>573657220Not if I ignore it and act like it didn't happen.Sonic Boom, on the other hand...
it's time... to rape*pulls out rapecock*
>>573657192vanilla bunny boobies
>>573657164The worst thing is going into QRTs of the post about Amy and seeing all of the usual trash-talking of Amy fans, glazing of SoA staff, and, my favorite, "Amy should be more than just her love for Sonic" as if that hasn't been the case since SA1. I hate all of these people. They hate Amy, so I hate them.
>>573656323Its almost like we actually play the games rather than regurgitate youtuber headcanons and opinions.
>>573657826
When is IDWgate happening?
>>573658543The sooner the better, if true.
>>573658543What's anon implying here anyway how would this even be a possibility
Krack
>>573658543Aw shit, this about to be an all out turf war. Fuck it, man we ain’t no wimps.
>>573658543This is a scare tactic. Sega and the lore team ain't gonna do shit.
>>573658543Oh man, I really wish this happen. It would be glorious if a single autist caused the implosion of SoA to the same level as the American branch of Square.
>>573658976They'll kill her.
>>573658543It was pretty obvious right out the gate, now we just need to dig up the dirt for evidence.
Shadow would never be interested in Rouge or Sally
>>573659041>to the same level as the American branch of Square.QRD?
>>573658543If idw sued krack or someshit who's side would sthg take?
>>573658786Nepotism/cronyism.
>>573659398But even with nepotism/cronyism how would anything happen? What could they actually do?
So they'll try to sue Krack for mean tweets but not Ken Penders for using material and characters from their IP for money?
>>573659394Obviously krack. There’s only a few trannies in this general that actually hate Krack.
Krack is samefagging lmao
Plot Twist:Iizuka loves Penders
>>573659528Shut up, Krack.
>>573659593Who doesn’t?
>>573659625I like Krack tbqh. I'm not her btw.
>>573659576Shadow will never love whores like Sally or Rouge
>>573659625>>573659659Neither am I
>>573659476seconding, i'd like to know. wasn't gamergate just about some whore sleeping around
>>573659476This. What's the case? Krack retweeted that screencap someone else posted and the one who posted it wasn't even involved in the screencap and the person who was in the screencap didn't do anything illegal besides asking the guy involved with the translations questions who answered honestly and casually? There is nothing for a case here. The only thing they can legally do is cut ties with the guy who spilled the beans.
>>573658976>be American Square branch>put a crazy woman who acts exactly as Gigi in charge of FFXIV>she almost kill the game in a single expansion by herself>shit is so bad that the director started talking about a second "realm reborn">squareenix makes fires almost everyone on american branch>restructuring is undewayhttps://www.gamesindustry.biz/square-enix-announces-mass-layoffs-as-restructuring-plan-pulls-development-from-overseashttps://gamerant.com/final-fantasy-14-second-rebirth-director-comments/
>573659716See? Krack is here samefagging
>>573659767Yeah, Zoe Quinn. She caused such a shit storm that he drove a man to suicide. She’s got blood on her hands.
>>573657442I'm not gonna try and be humble about it anymore. As someone who's made many actual games before, but doesn't anymore, I think I should be an authority in saying that it takes more than aspiring to become a game developer. You have to pump in the hours and be really passionate to get over the massive initial hump of doing it yourself. Many people get filtered by the first part, but keeping trying is the key.
>>573659476I dunno man, that's just what it says. There's some "pipeline" for getting other people into the same line of work and positions. That's just what nepotism/cronyism is. I don't know how they're doing it, I'm just looking at the same screenshot you are. But all you have to do sometimes is know somebody with influence.
Keep the uproar alive on Twitter. I'm keeping my eye on the bios in case they do get updated as Chris said they would.>>573657164I despise them. They're part of the problem. They uncritically believe everything that the lore team says and continue giving them a blank check to mess with the franchise
>>573659845Is that incorrect?
>>573659910Also, having a strong vision out of the gate for what you want to make. That's the very basics.
>>573659813Ops, wrong quote: >>573659363
Shadow would never fuck Sally Acorn or Rouge. That upsets you faggot?
You can stop victimizing yourself krack, nobody is suing you stupid foid
So again for those of you out of the loop, Amy's Japanese bios already downplayed her love for Sonic.Despite this, it still centers the chase dynamic.思い込んだらどこまでも、今日も今日とてソニックを追いかける、元気いっぱいな優しいハリネズミの女の子。"A kind-hearted, energetic hedgehog girl who, once she sets her heart on something, pursues it all the way—today, as always, chasing after Sonic."This is interesting and a bit vindicating because it actually suggests Sonic Team see thr chase aspect and dynamic as foundational to the character even moreso than her loving him.That saidソニックを振り向かせるために自分磨きを欠かさない、一途で努力家な一面も。"She's also a devoted hard worker who never neglects self-improvement, always striving to become someone who can finally make Sonic turn and notice her."This can't really not be read as talking about her loving Sonic, even at yout most charitable.Its a very clear "notice me senpai" dynamic, which has been a part of her character since the classics and was fully cemented in her character arounf Heroes and Battle with the self improvement angle.The use of 一途 translates as "Devoted" or "faithful in her feelings" but it more contextually would read as something like "ride or die" to the reader.So its still there in a way that isn't really debatable or disputable. However it is also notable that this is at thr end of the bio rather than like past bios where it would open with how much of a romantic she is and how she is in love with love. All THAT said, I dont get why the english bio then felt the need to pair it down even more from this given its already toned down from what they used to be.No "self-declared girlfriend" no "in love with love" nothing.Just "she works hard on herself to get him to notice her".
>>573659813This needs to happen to SoA.>>573659913I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume the lore team itself is this "pipeline". They can get people hired to work on the franchise. This is funny because Ian is part of the Lore Team and made a random post on Bluesky about how he can't get people hired. But maybe Chris is the man behind that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIHduZ8-Jx0This is what satam sounds like from when its fans describe itthey should actually make a sonic show that is grimdark
TANABAT-
>>573659913>>573660294But why would the lore team being a pipeline matter, what could they possibly do about someone on twitter.
>>573660294You’re correct about the Lore Team. There’s a reason why so many eyes are on them. Dig into them and you might find the answer.
Shadougefaggot seething
Can we talk about Sonic instead of a troon spazzing out?
Sonic would rape you. I'm scribbles btw.
>>573660539>You’re correct about the Lore Team. There’s a reason why so many eyes are on them. Dig into them and you might find the answer.what is this vaguepost? do you know something?
>>573660650FUCK NOW SONIC IS GOING TO RAPE US
>>573660203The lore team just hates the fact that Amy loves Sonic because of Ian and Katie's personal biases. In that damage control tweet by Chris, users kept pressing him on why Amy's love was not in the English bio at all and Chris just kept insisting that he's the last person that would want Amy's love removed and that those bios were approved by Sonic Team and that he didn't write Amy's love into her bio on time and that it will happen later and nothing but excuses and lies. Anyone with half a brain can smell the lies for what they are
>>573660539"Lore Team" is literally a glorified branch of SoA PR / marketing. Evan being an "artist for the lore team", mostly amounts to her doing pieces for the social media and promo materials, for example. Most of SoA are ex fanboy people who desperately want to have more control over then series in some way.
>>573659306>>573659716>>573660142>>573660584>shadougeschizo hour
>>573660657Cmon it’s so obvious. All this talk about them, Chris, Ian. We know him and Evan backtrack on the shit they say, like to pin the blame on Sega for their own shortcomings.Let me ask, what do we know about Chris?
>>573660784We know he's on the lore team and does PR? And helps with scripts?
>>573660657nta, but we know certain people keep their eyes on those threads, and no one is willing to put their neck on the line and actually say if they know or how they know certain things.
Sonic characters for this feel?https://youtu.be/7DbMgFb0vTY
Shadow and Rouge hate each other
>>573660871krack scares the people in the know enough to start posting about lawyers?
>>573660981Knuckles...
>Sonic Channel思い込んだらどこまでも、今日も今日とてソニックを追いかける、元気いっぱいな優しいハリネズミの女の子。どんな逆境にもめげない明るいムードメーカー、さらに勝ち気で行動力バツグン。いざというときは、どこからともなく愛用のピコピコハンマーを取り出し、オトコ顔負けのパワーを発揮する。ソニックを振り向かせるために自分磨きを欠かさない、一途で努力家な一面も。>Officially implemented English machine translationOnce she sets her mind on something, she'll go to any lengths to chase after Sonic, just like every other day. She's a cheerful and kind hedgehog girl.She's a cheerful mood-maker who never gives up in the face of adversity, and she's also competitive and incredibly proactive. When push comes to shove, she pulls out her beloved squeaky hammer from nowhere and displays a level of power that would put any man to shame.She also has a single-minded and hardworking side, constantly working on self-improvement in order to win Sonic's attention.>Windii's unofficial translationOnce she sets her mind on something, she’ll go all the way. Today, just like every other day, she chases after Sonic—a cheerful, kind-hearted hedgehog girl full of energy.An unflappable mood-lifter who never lets adversity get her down, she’s also fiercely competitive and exceptionally proactive. When the moment calls for it, she’ll pull her trusty squeaky toy hammer out of nowhere and unleash power that puts any man to shame.She never stops working on herself to catch Sonic’s eye, showing a devoted and hardworking side.>SEGA of America websiteAmy Rose is a sweet, spunky, and fiercely optimistic hedgehog who charges into life wearing her heart on her sleeve.Inspired by Sonic, she handles trouble with decisiveness and determination, flattening foes with her trusty Piko Piko Hammer! She leads with courage, stands up for her friends, and rises stronger after every battle. Her resilience uplifts those in even the most dire of circumstances.With both high standards and deep compassion, Amy confidently strides towards a better future; one that she can share with those most dear to her....Isn't this completely different? It's not a translation
>>573660761Also forgot to mention "artist for the lore team" is such a ridiculous "position", not a real job. idk how people just go along with this stuff.
>>573660868Why was he chosen? Does anyone benefit with him around?
>>573661068
>change the characters>get caught changing the characters>the characters are literally changed >deny that you are changing them>change them more
>People hating on KrackSave that hatred for Woefag instead, everyone
>>573661138i don't know that's why i'm asking you.
>>573661138>Why was he chosen?He matched the credentials from that job listing we saw years ago I assume
>>573661018
Previously, we could only suspect due to picrel but couldn't confirm due to lack of evidence. But now we can confirm due to Grant's Discord convo and the fact that Chris admitted to having translated the SOJ bios into English
I wish you all put this much energy into useful things instead of a 35 year old cartoon franchise.
>>573660989Any person willing to dig too deep needs to be prepared for consequences. It's not about that namefag in question, but anyone messing with people's paychecks may get themselves in that situation.
>>573661303That almost sounds like a mafia-tier threat. Too bad I have no paychecks.
So what about the anon that posts about Strategy Guide PR? That obviouslt fits into this somewhere.
>>573661303You're still being extremely vague. That situation? What situation? What would they even do?
>>573660438Oh, THAT'S what you meant when you asked how it could be a possibility. Yeah, they can't do shit. Sorry, I thought you were talking about getting the jobs, not suing Krack.
Stop with the vague posting stuff.
>>573661272Thank you, I needed that post the other day. It confirms someone at SoJ worked on the story of Shadow Generations
>>573660650Alright then "Scribbles" rape me. I want YOU to rape ME.
>>573661303my yard is full of improvised landminesi hear the coyotes trigger them each night
>>573661138That's an interesting question. What was his history with SoA before he was made head of the "lore" team?>>573661247That job listing was kinda scunmy to me because the application was apparently published for random people to apply for but then you heard announcements about how Ian and Evan were hired who were already associated with Sega/SoA. Total cronyism moment. Maybe I'm wrong on the subject, but I think they only hires people they already had work for them or established contractors.
>Shadamytard raped the lore and now we are here
>>573661184It's just a comparison of Amy's profile>>573661602>published for random people to apply forNo, that was just Sonic fan sites making engagement bait articles with funny joke titles like you can get paid to be SEGA's loremaster!!! even though that's not what the listing said at all
>>573661686...and that's GOOD.
>>573660203They're lying through their teeth saying it reflects the JP bios. We know that. Stupid useful idiots on Twitter and Reddit don't. Or they don't care. But getting them to own up to it is basically impossible. SoA will always investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing. And you're going to have a hell of a time convincing SoJ that SoA doesn't know how to market Sonic to the west when the west has traditionally been his only real market. That's how they get away with it.>felt the need to pair it down even moreNot trying to be an asshole because it could be either a typo or an honest mistake, but this is one of those words people get wrong all the time. You're looking for "pare".
>>573661409No threat intended, just common sense.
>>573660294>But maybe Chris is the man behind that.That very well could be a possibility. How well are Chris and Ian acquainted, or anyone else for that matter?
>>573661303Nice empty threat. No courthouse will take this shit seriously. What are the charges? Someone found out you had a backdoor to get people hired that your parent company (SoJ) might not know about? Sounda like a negative for the ones doing it, not the ones discovering it.
>>573661749>How well are Chris and Ian acquainted, or anyone else for that matter?A lot of SoA staff originates from old Sonic Retro threads and stuff like that.
>>573661068I don't know why anyone thinks they're being genuine about it being based on the JP profiles and as close as possible to the original when it's really easy to call them out on it. But some people just like sucking their flaccid little cocks too much to ask them to do a good job, I guess.
This kitten belongs to Silver. Any questions?
>>573661560*rapes you* IT WAS ME, FIONA THE WHOLE TIME!
>>573661703>No, that was just Sonic fan sites making engagement bait articles with funny joke titles like you can get paid to be SEGA's loremaster!!! even though that's not what the listing said at allAh, I see. Thanks. So it wad all along a position for handpicked people. I'm still interested in Chris' history. Was he an intern that rubbed the right shoulders (Like the SoA vice-president, Ivo?)
Those new happy meal toys from a restaurant named Mostazahttps://x.com/Rossy_Draws/status/2075691768578777296
>>573661831So they’re definitely an in-group of former fans, all we need to do know is get them to admit what they’re doing.>>573661907Ayyy ‘iona!
