EVERYBODY LEARNS SOME PEOPLE JUST DESERVE TO CRASH AND BURN?
Oh I look FORWARD to reading it.
Parker Smith
Let's leave the last thread behind and celebrate the fact that this run of generals has been around for 3 years now.
Luke Long
...
Hudson Scott
What do you like about this general, /sthg/?
Any fond memories you have of the general?
Zachary Rogers
>Spyro meets Dulcy
I fucked up and mixed up some of the layers, so Spyro has some of his sketch layer still on him, and I don't feel like manually erasing it. Sorry about that.
Juan Brooks
But how do we celebrate, user?
Juan Thompson
Penders one has just no sense to exist, since he made it up only to build pointless drama about the ff being angry about it for no fucking reason.
Nicole and Sally just make more sense the Rotor gay.
Colton Edwards
When events happen. The anniversary party was a ton of fun. /egg/ was a fun time too
Anthony Hughes
who are they though
Jaxson Scott
>Yes. Well, you made me kind of sad, but I won't refute. It's that my love for Rotor is big and profund, so that's why I have this crazy thought. It's not that I want to force it to the authors, and I understand there's no proof that points he likes males, but it's something that pleases my mind when I see it and nothing else.
>So he's straight Which or how many girls has he dated, by the way?
Caleb Martinez
I like Bump and Sage I like watching you morons argue about Classic vs Modern, or homosexuality in the comics. I just get out the popcorn and enjoy myself. Anniversaries are fun. Any time we gang up on Penders is nice.
Ryder Nelson
Breaking news, western artists are a bunch of fags.
Robert Harris
Regardless weather it made sense or how it was done or the quality of the writers. It's suddenly ok for 1 and not the other?
Gavin Sanders
Would we rather accept Ken Penders or Chris-chan as /ourguy/?
Samuel Nelson
Not an argument. Which or how many boys has he dated, then?
Logan Powell
I liked sharing and giving merch links to here, how quickly information is dropped here, and the little conversations such as music or explanations about a topic with some of you.
Jacob Bennett
*whether
Isaac Jenkins
>I get to talk about Sonic to people who are generally older and more experienced than me
>When people share their memories with Sonic, be it happy or sad, it's just nice to know everyone has their own little story.
Aaron Reed
Not much and nope.
What kind of popcorn? And you better share.
Hudson King
Nicole and Sally have a history together, so even if you personally don't like them in a romanitc sense, you can at least see where this comes from. Rotor gay has no context and was never hinted in the whole run except Penders suddenly decided that he was in order to make his usual soap opera junk.
Ian Flores
>What do you like about this general, /sthg/? It provides a community that actively likes Sonic in some capacity.
>Any fond memories you have of the general? Whenever there's an event that we all watch together, it's pretty nice. I also enjoyed storytimes in the past.
That's a neat drawing, user.
Talk about about the general, if artists want to draw something, then that's awesome. Or we could all watch the OVA or a Sonic cartoon together or something.
Benjamin Cruz
Is he /ourguy/?
James Fisher
I want abt
Luke Stewart
Chris-chan.
There is no contest.
Leo Scott
The Anniversary Party was fantastic
Anthony Powell
I'll copy what I said last thread.
>Ian never outright said they were gay. He said he was surprised he was able to imply it as much as he did.
Tyler King
Is it okay if we could do that? If some people are up for it?
Dylan Martin
that's not one of the choices
Austin Phillips
Homemade kettlecorn with brown sugar, my nigga. And it's mine. You can't have any.
Nathan Myers
...
Owen Diaz
Again, I'm not asking about if it made sense, I don't care if it made sense or not. I'm asking why it's ok for one writer to post-mortem make a lesbian couple and not a another writer make a character gay?
I know what was said, see above.
Tyler Fisher
>brown sugar Eh, you can keep it.
Jonathan Baker
That actually sounds quite good. I might have to try it next time.
>Captcha mentions Bananas Huh.
Jaxon Jackson
We would just need a time and a place to watch. There used to be sites set up by anons awhile back that we used. Maybe someone can set one up if there is interest.
Michael Howard
I'm not trying to argument. I was actually curious of this fact. If Rotor is straight like you say, then be it this way and I will keep my mouth shut. I just wanted to know which girls has he dated just for curiosity.
Austin Morgan
So, how do I get into ROMHacks?
What's the correct setup? Emulators? Installs? Where do you find these? I heard about competitions? Which are the classic ones. No shitflinging about whether you like them or not. Just which ones are good for getting into ROMhacks generally? Post ones you liked but please give a way of finding/installing them as well.
Luke Wood
It's okay because one makes sense and the other doesn't. How would that not be okay? And why disregard what Ian said if you're not disregarding what Penders said? That makes no sense.
Michael Miller
Because it's a writer they like. Ian's just as bad as Penders
Jose Taylor
Because that other writer is Penders. And you should care if it makes some sense or not, because the whole argument is based on this. If Penders introduced Rotor's omosexuality or implied it in one way or another, we wouldn't be here discussing it.
Anthony Powell
Sparky is /our guy/
Noah Williams
Use KEGA Fusion Emulator Go to Sonic Retro Have fun
Brayden Phillips
Because he did it soley to be a cunt and imply that Flynn and the rest were homophobic for getting rid of Cobar.
Evan Ross
just read the thread and stop being so thirsty
Jose Bailey
I want pictures of Tails tickling Sparky.
Ethan Adams
So it's ok because subtle hints? Hints that were about on tier with Korra/Asami from Avatar?
I understand your position now.
I see
So it's not okay with Penders because he didn't lay in his subtly thick enough?
So like other things Penders did, just out of spite.
FYI I hate Penders, I just hate double standards too
Sebastian Ward
Sparky is for lewd
Juan Edwards
I answered your question. Penders saying Rotor was gay was something he did after he stoped writing the for comic and wasn't implied at all in the story. People accuse him to this day of doing it only to make himself look good.
Ian admits to dropping hints that 2 characters who were pretty good friends might be like each other in an attempt to explain why said characters are shipped together constantly.
Do these things sound the same to you? Ian never even said Sally and Nicole were gay at all.
Adrian Powell
This is what happens when we let gags into this franchise
Robert Allen
Now we know who Sparky's waifu is
William Roberts
I liked when ABT used to visit and take requests
Joshua Gray
He is one of our guys, yes.
Brody Lopez
Korrasami was never hinted even in Season 4 and we all know that. It's not the same thing.
Also
James Barnes
The Sonic thread simulator was hilarious. I showed that to a couple non Sonic friends and even they got a kick out of it.
Ian Edwards
Because Penders paired Rotor with somebody (Yet another one of his random Echidna OCs) and planned to have Rotor's friends turn their backs on him when his sexuality gets exposed. He also thought Rotor being gay made sense because of social anxiety/awkwardness.
Tell me how that would be any good? It's not down to favoring Ian, it's about Penders being a bad writer. And if he was able to go through with Rotor being gay, it would be one of the shinning, shittastic pinnacles of the dark age.
Joseph Reyes
Don't let them fool you. Ian's just like Penders. He just hides it better. IDW put fags in Transformers, so the comic's fucked anyways
Kayden Gonzalez
Gags? You mean TAGS or WAGS, right?
Camden Scott
Do you have any proof that that is what he had planned? Because that would be hilarious.
Caleb Jones
Sonic thread simulator? I must see this.
Jordan Scott
Until Ian doesn't make a copyright clain to Archie, I don't agree with your statement. You may not like his writing style, but it's a different level compared to Penders and everyone including Ken himself knew that.
Gavin Davis
have any of you met each other from here before?
Camden Morris
I get that the use of each of the statements were done. I just wonder if the intentions were the same, to try and look good post-mortem.
Also Ian did say it without saying it, all that was missing was a "knowing smile ;)"
To me the amount in hint dropping with Sally/Nicole was about on tier with Korra/Asami, badly done and weak.
I agree that Penders is a bad writer. Never said it would be any good, just wondered why it was okay to like one over the other if it was only just preference of writers.
Worrisome if that means less or more "subtle hints". That type of ship writing shouldn't be in Sonic
No, gags. Sonic the Hedgehog is a very serious franchise concerning serious subject matter such as protecting the environment, animal abuse, and homophobia. The introduction of gags trivialized the franchise with its humor, puns and one-liners, and just turned it all into a joke.
Easton Cooper
I've met Yoto before, and I think a few others who have shown up to conventions.
Jonathan Kelly
Ian's shit was at least readable. It can be annoying, but it's readable.
Plus, I doubt Ian would sue for his OCs and try to make a novel/comic/movie/whatever about Thrash.
Christian Rodriguez
IDW has full blown fags. The comic is fucked, Sega should've just self published to avoid the agenda pushing
William Ward
OK I'm dumping this Tails and Knuckles storyline. It is against my better judgement.
Problem is this is based on earlier Tails strips I never dumped, where Tails is taken off into a kind of fantasy parallel dimension where he's a Knight or something. It was pretty gay so I never dumped it. advantage in this story is that Knuckles is suddenly added into the mix, so we can all basically read it from his perspective.
Anyway, incidentally this was writtem and drawn by Nigel Kitching, who normally just writes. But I digress.
Nolan Wood
I'd like to one day
Jeremiah Ross
I met Toby once back in 2012 when passing through Texas. I recognized him working at the gas station my family went to.
Kevin Peterson
And so, that was how Ian Flynn became officially disowned by the /sthg/.
Eli Hill
First Rotorfag, then Sparkyfag, now Fagfag. How many fags does this general need?
Jose Martin
Good. He was always a shitty cuck writer only liked because of memes and waifus
Cooper Wilson
>Starting this retarded argument again Fuck off. Leave that shit in the last thread
Angel Bell
/sthg/ is a fickle bunch with who they love and hate.
Easton Rodriguez
We'll have the wait and see, user.
Henry Jones
>I just wonder if the intentions were the same, to try and look good post-mortem.
I doubt it. As Ian said it to answer Jen's question about why so many people ship Sally and Nicole. He didn't proclaim it in a random tweet with no context.
Why do people care about a fictional character's sexuality so much?
Chase Hill
/sthg/ never "officially" disowns or even approves of anything, we're far too divided to do anything as a whole.
Jace King
Yeah, OK. Where to begin with this? Sometimes Tails disappears for a while (Sonic sometimes commenting on it). Often he's off through this green portal to some parallel Zone becuase some old fox calls him through. He tells no-one (obviously). I think I got it at the time, but now it's just coming off as ... all levels of wrong. Anyway Now it's & Knuckles.
Daniel Gutierrez
>homophobia nani?
Aaron Diaz
>disowned by the /sthg/. More like 2 shitposters.
Parker Cooper
>the state of /sthg/
Asher Clark
Now now, this will pass like everything.
Elijah Jones
I guess Ian should have known this was a christian Sonic general.
Hunter Howard
Still waiting on the sequel to this.
Hunter Brown
No one here does. They're shitposting, because it triggers retards like you to respond, instead of not responding & moving on. Stop being a retard & stop responding
Xavier Garcia
>he didn't see that episode of sonic sez where sonic explains how all homosexuals are going to hell
Logan Flores
Fuck me it's perfect
Justin Howard
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind gay or lesbian characters in a comic, just be upfront about it and don't do it post-mortem "oh that's what I intended all along" type bullshit.
An example of a good way of what I'm asking is Gold. Evan Stanley has always been upfront that Gold is lesbian or bi. Never stated otherwise.
Tweets that are replies to someone when they aren't protected accounts are public tweets.
I don't want to claim how others feel, but I think it's distasteful and unprofessional to make a statement like that post-mortem.
Adam Parker
i never liked ian flynn's setting as a whole and he did things that annoyed me but even i think the badposting over this wholly inoffensive stunt is pretty fucking ridiculous
why do i have to defend a writer i never liked from idiots like you
Joseph Sanchez
More please
Elijah Russell
I can see how Knuckles would make this "mistake".
Yeah, Tails is a champion in this Nameless Zone (WTF paradox), but everyone knows him by Miles Prower. I think he's originally from there, or a prophesy because he has two tails, or something? It's over 20 years since I read this shit.
Knuckles not knowing squat about any of this kind of makes this pretty funny. The reader's avatar if you will.
Jason Sanders
No. It's just a few anons using this info to shitpost.
Jason Gomez
Stop overreacting. It's two shitposters. /sthg/ is also not one person.
Ayden Bailey
>An example of a good way of what I'm asking is Gold. Evan Stanley has always been upfront that Gold is lesbian or bi. Never stated otherwise. That was pretty pointless, since I doubted it would ever be brought up. It would be like saying Antoine collects toenail clippings. Do we see him do it? No. Is it mentioned? No. So what would be the purpose?
Isaac Lee
Please, I'm sure most are still gonna want him on the new book and he'll go back to being overly favorable in a few days.
I very much doubt he cares much about /sthg/ in general and our little shitfits, so it wouldn't matter to him if everyone actually started hating him anyway.
Carson Taylor
>that picture
Anyway nailed it stop overreacting
Kayden Martinez
Oh fuck, now I remember. It went like this right? >"Now remember kids, if you like people who are the same as yourself, you go to hell before you die!"
Zachary Cruz
I'm sorry if I'm ruining the anniversary. I actually only joined the current discussion on the end of the previous thread, but still, I didn't meant it. That's alright. I said I will accept Rotor as a straight. It's fine. I just like posting pics of him, even if I'm aware I'm avatarfagging. Again, I deeply apologize.
