As a former marketing manager, it's always hilarious to me that people think that this kind of attitude will make people want to buy the game. The fact that the dev has pretty much signed off on this kind of behavior has only kneecapped its broader appeal for its limited niche.

So it's been a few days since the last shipping fiasco, I wanted to wait until most of the "drama" died down before talking about something.

Also I bought and tried the game. It's aggressively *fine.* I thought the gameplay was good (except combat) and the writing felt a little poor. I probably would have liked it more had I not been already poisoned by the fanbase acting like it's the second coming of Christ.

Anyways here is a clip of RCS explaining and defending the change in vocal register.
It's one thing if you just personally don't like it, but there's no need to try to make it a more "valid" opinion by putting words in the mouths of the VAs based on an out of context clip.

Eh, it's just shitty marketing/behavior and it doesn't hurt anyone but the dev himself. The game itself is fine so like if you're into what Spark is selling it's still fine to buy. Just go in expecting it to be a good game and not some "Sega hire this man" death knell for Sonic.

Yep, the last time this drama happened, it was because a youtuber made a video that pretty blatantly did the kind of thing. It spawned this same kind of drama. Dev danced around the issue by claiming the issue was the "comparison" and not the rhetoric, but basically approved it.

From a marketing perspective, the only logical reason to have an adversarial follower base like this is to disincentivize interacting with other products and further entrench them in your own niche. Less about getting new people and locking in the ones you already have.

I'm normally not big on human versions but I think this design nails it on the head! The clothes have his 90s attitude down, and the art style really emphasizes a speed aesthetic. I can just imagine him running down an alleyway before breakdancing into a spinning kick.

Completely agreed, I'm so glad that they pulled away from the exaggerated edginess and let him be more reserved and serious like he used to be. Ian's voice acting really complimented his dialogue. It was a great foil to an impulsive Sonic.

There *are* exceptions, like Sega's own "Nintendon't" campaign, but that was a wildly different era in gaming with untapped markets that have been thoroughly tapped into. It doesn't work as well anymore now, especially for an already *existing* market.

It's okay for him to not like it if Sega disagrees with his ideas. If they thought the writing was bad, they would either let him go or would ask him to redo it. Getting mad at him for doing the thing Sega asks him to do is just blaming the party with no power in this situation.

And to take it a step further: why *should* we limit ourselves to "canon" interpretations? AUs are built all the time that can recontextualize or change elements of a character. Fanworks are by their nature noncanon. Why *do* they need to be rigidly attached to source material?

What one person might consider "canon" may not match up with other's ideas. People who read different media, or interpret the same media in a different light, will not have the same conclusions as you.
And that's okay! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

The sad reality of the situation is that SEGA is never going to consider any romance until their fans stop breaking out into fights every single time anything slightly spicier than "friends" is hinted at-- something this fanbase has proven incapable of doing again and again.

This meme trend is supposed to be people's hot takes on certain Sonic ships. It's supposed to be opinions that could make people upset, I realize that.
But this isn't a tweet criticizing Sonadow as a ship
It's a tweet telling shippers they're doing it "the wrong way."

"Death of the Author" is a thing for a reason. Other people can find ways to use canon to justify what you might personally consider "noncanon" or "not understanding" of a character. Especially for Shad/Knux, who have been extensively recharacterized by SEGA over the years.

There's nothing wrong with discussing one's personal opinions, or even having spirited debates over them. But at the end of the day, they are still *opinions.* Having an "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude only makes the space hostile, and (cont.)

If anything the lesson people should take away from this is that the organizers messed up and should not have proactively ejected anyone out of the convention without discussing it with all parties involved.
Guys, I am exhausted.
I didn't have Ricardo kicked out of the event today or ask to have him on a blacklist. I stepped away when he got near to keep my distance and people around me took it upon themselves to mention that I was uncomfortable to the staff.

The reason why I'm laying all this out is because it's foundational to why I really dislike this tweet: it's saying "No, you don't actually like what you say you like, you like something else and are either lying about it or just don't know enough to do it 'correctly.'"

Fandom is built on interpretation of source material. Sonic has had decades of media across multiple mediums, hundreds of writers and artists, and countless characterizations of its cast. And everyone reading it is going to have their own interpretation of the characters.

People who make shipping content largely do it based on their ideas for the characters "true nature"-- even AUs will almost always have some basis in canonicity. It's incredibly condescending to say that their own views are wrong, when yours is no more valid than theirs.

What honestly concerns me as a gay+trans person is that this kind of policing opens the door for open bigots to do the same on people who have queer or trans hcs. Trying to lower others over raising your own platform only serves to show others that they can do the same.

But please, let's refrain from confusing our opinions for fact. And *please, please* don't use your own opinions as an opportunity to put others down. It hurts real people, and drives them away. Let's instead make this fandom as welcoming, diverse, and inclusive as it can be.

Acquiesing to someone's abuse only encourages it. If you have to take insults from someone in order for them to like you then they aren't your friend.
If they're truly a friend, they will apologize for their hurtful actions- a better friend wouldn't have said those things.

This is probably not true. Sega has steered away from a lot of things, including ALL forms of romance. They also have two canon gay characters in IDW (Nite/Don).
The issue at hand is Sega wants to avoid shipping wars, they're bad for business. It's as simple as that.

Sega... can't ban ships? I don't even know what you're trying to say.
They can't make rules for the fanbase or directly control it. They absolutely can and will avoid throwing fuel into the fire, though. Hence why they want to avoid another sonally/sonamy fiasco.

Social media (especially on twt/tumblr) has a tendency to reduce thought to the lowest common denominator and it's frustrating. Something innocuous or weird suddenly gets essentialized to the person itself. Thinking of the "Space Buns" girl who suddenly was labeled anti-black.

There's actually a slider to change that in the settings now! It's "set the rate of deceleration." There's others that preserve boost and acceleration in jumps too.

To start off, I'd just like to say that I don't think the OP is intentionally mean-spirited. I get they probably have frustrations with content they don't like. My issues aren't with their opinion on the ship.

Hell, if you don't find the myriad of other content fitting-- you're always free to write your own and share it! You'd be surprised by how convincing you can be just by writing content you're passionate about. Maybe you'll introduce them to an idea they hadn't thought of.

The whole reason fandoms coined the term "headcanon" is *because* source material analysis can lead to multiple conclusions. We recognized long ago that trying to enforce one interpretation of canon doesn't just cause tension in fandom, it actively stifles participation.

Whispangle is a good ship too but like, going after people who ship other pairs (which might not even make the characters 'straight') accomplishes nothing. If you want more/better representation then you should be encouraging producers to make more diverse queer content.

My initial idea is that it was originally something that Sonic had, though probably crammed in the back of a drawer or closet-- once taken for granted, now priceless. At the time, it still smelled faintly of him, and the warmth it brought felt like a hug around Shadow's neck.
