Hello hello! It's really sad to hear that people can't just get along with one another even when they like the same thing. 😔 I hope they can come to understand that it's better to stand together than against each other all the time. People have been saying what you say on X? I didn't know that! But having the thought of constantly being watched by mean people is really creepy to me... 😰 Doesn't that bother you? But what???!!! They insulted us in that podcast??? Really??? But why would they do that?? I mean it's one thing to be angry but to say it in front of us is so mean! Especially after saying it is a fan favorite podcast!! And the way they act like they are somehow better or that everything is supposed to be how they want when that's exactly what they have been doing how could they??!! Haven't they bullied us enough? 😭 And what do they mean they don't get anything good? Aren't they the ones who make those things they want? Are they saying what they make is not good??? Even though they made it themselves?? And then act as if the one with "better" things is cheating?? I don't get it!!! Can I ask what you mean by that? And what do you mean that they knew and ruined things on purpose!?!? Are they admitting somewhere in those podcasts that they were trying to ruin all the things they could for Sonadow without remorse and still trying to act like there is cheating somehow?? I don't really get how people can act like these type of things are normal somehow. Like when I think of Team Sonic I think of Sonic Heroes' lineup where Sonic is with Tails and Knuckles. It was the same in SA2 right? So where is her being a part of the team really come from and how can it be normal? Even in Team Sonic Racing he was with his team Tails and Knuckles! In Sonic Mania he is with Tails and Knuckles! I think most of the popular and big game titles have him with only Tails and Knuckles not Amy too so that's weird! Wasn't it like that in the movies too? Sonic was first then Tails and then Knuckles and after was Shadow! So how can anyone think she makes sense to be in Sonic's team when it wasn't like that growing up? I don't get it... 😣 How could they use Shadow like that! He's not meant to be there for another character to get something more than him? That makes no sense! If he makes money focus on him! Or the main cast not just her! I thought we were here for Sonic and his friends or Shadow not Amy and IDW characters or other side characters that are soooooo boring 🙄 I have no interest in a girly girl's shopping trip or infatuation with someone who doesn't even like her like that. I hear they are trying to make her go on more adventures as of late but I don't find her adventures all that interesting because she is just going around acting like she is a miracle worker who can fix everything with the power of "love" but she is just talking to people or threatening others to make them turn good. I don't get how that just automatically makes everyone act as if they are in candy land or something!!! 😤 I didn't think about how it was mean to Keanu too!! OMG that's so bad! How can they leave out such a remarkable man when talking about the movie cast! That's just dirty!! And isn't Tom and other human characters important too? Like Wade who starred in Knuckles' show??!! It's good people are fighting back! They need to with people like this in their workspace! 😤 But I can't believe that even money is not a good enough distraction for these people! How else can they make more things?? Is it that much more important?!?! Thank you for answering my questions!! For a Sonadow question what do you think would happen if one of them was trying to make a surprise for the other but have a hard time since they're so clingy to each other? 😆

I hope so too. 🥲

It bothers me a little if it's a bad person. This is how I got mass harassed on X, even when I didn't tag the post. 😶‍🌫️

If you take a look on Spotify and have an account, they have a decent accurate automated generated transcript to read it better instead of just listening!

The way they worded certain things seem "strange" which is why I assumed that they were admitting that they're mad at people, one of them being Sonadow fans, and also admitting that they "have been doing shady things." I also assume this from my accumulated knowledge of how they have been bias and sabotaging things like the bias contest, fan meetings, raunchy actions, and the Archie slap. This isn't the first time they write what they feel in media! In the new year's TailsTube, they made Amy say that she wants to do things more and bigger/better (something like that), which is what we see with them being bias with her everywhere!

Here is where they mention "old ladies who cheat at bingo." Vector is stating this. Calling them old ladies with blue hair and lavender perfume seems too on point AND STRANGE as a description. Shadow is the only character who is associated with Lavender and blue hair is referencing Sonic. Why pick this description when they could have said white hair or floral print dresses? Vector complains that these "old ladies" (Sonadow fans) get all these butterscotch treats while he doesn't get any! The treats could represent things like the title, Sonic x Shadow Generations or Sonic Prime! Sonadow getting anything "nice" seems to make these bias employees angry and they find it a nightmare that these fans are "laughing at them" for getting these better quality things rather than them. Even if they make their own things, it can't match the "sweetness and depth" that Sonadow can give! He thinks they are "cheating" because the bias employees are so "close" (one number away in BINGO), but the Sonadow fans "win BINGO" somehow before them. If we take what we know in how they are doing many tactics to take down Sonadow and promote females whether that be in Sonamy, mature women, or little girls, they have some audacity stating that the Sonadow fans "cheat" when they've been the ones hurting them and trying to "cheat" themselves with all their tactics! So, they can't believe that despite everything horrible they have and still are doing, that Sonadow is STILL MORE POPULAR AND STILL GETS CONTENT.

(SBO is Espio)

Here, Rouge is speaking to Espio. From my assumptions/analyzation, it seems that these employees get a heads up on what's going to happen. Let's use Sonic x Shadow Generations as an example. Remember, this is assumption and analyzation from context clues and facts (such as how they lie and their tactics). Since these employees need to know what they are going to advertise, they probably get information on what it'll be about in general. Imagine an employee knows more than that and shares it with these bias employees. (In this podcast above, it would be Rouge giving Espio leads, files/information) These bias employees then use this information to form a plan to sabotage anything they don't like. In this case, Sonadow since they complained about it earlier. So I mentioned that when this game's title dropped, many "fake fans" hated on it where even game journalists tried to also hate on it. The bias employees kept referencing Shadow as only a rival when he's more than that, they biasly pushed Amy even though it was Shadow's year (like her Fortune cards), Iizuka tried to say his opinion saying Sonic and Shadow aren't friends to have people use his words to say they aren't friends when they are, Iizuka also tried to say that Shadow should be a villain (his opinion), tried to push Shadaria at first to make it seem like Sonadow is "not possible or true" when it is, tried to make Shadow overly obsessed with Maria (and still do) so he has "no one else," had Maria steal Sonic's lines and something only he can do, change the the script for the game to make Shadow meaner to Sonic, changed the scene and texts for Amy so it seems she "isn't as bad" as the original Sonic Generations (like removing Sonic pushing her away physically), and even though this isn't the game - they had Amy shoved at the end of the third movie- AFTER DOING ALL OF THESE SABOTAGE AND TACTICS TO GET SONIC AND SHADOW TO FAIL. But it didn't work since Shadow boosted sales in different areas like the game, movies, and some merchandise. So imagine how things would have went if they didn't do all of these horrible tactics! So, I can see why they got so angry as to why all their tactics didn't work. Rouge says in this podcast that even though she gave a heads up, they still "bungled" it (botched it). Which probably reflects something like what I just mentioned. They couldn't forsee, like Espio mentions, what would happen, which is Shadow beating the odds due to how popular he is! Espio doesn't know whether or not he can trust Rouge because he doesn't know if the information is real. This could also reflect how they don't know if they can trust whoever is giving them these "heads up" since they haven't been successful. So this is what I mean where they seem to be aware of what they've been doing.

If they were given permission, they would've immediately make Sonic and Amy be together romantically in main media (they try to skirt or pretend though), but instead, they see things being made for Sonic and Shadow instead (Like Sonic Prime). Even if they are narsisstic about the things they make, it seems some employees are self aware that it isn't "good enough." They want THEIR IDEAS AND WANTS to be acknowledged, but it seems like it isn't by the higher employees. That's why they are so angry. On a side note, whoever is writing these podcasts really likes mature women like Victoria and Rouge. They have been making Rouge flirty and pushing Charmy to be interested in these older women. 😱

They even are still doing these tactics like this! The simulator account on SNS announced a "pair outfit" of King Sonic and Queen Amy, pushing Sonamy right after the announcement of her VA where the post that announces it also pushes Sonamy. So, this is the type of post that "lies" to the fans. Most people assume a king and queen are together, which pushes the lie that Sonic and Amy "are together romantically" when they are not. They specifically use a pair like this to push this lie! Shadow, though, also has a king pair with Sonic! (Though all of these outfits are terrible) Even though the movie isn't until next year, they are using this opportunity early now to make fans think a certain way! The key here is their intentions! They specifically put this RIGHT AFTER THAT VA ANNOUNCEMENT to have people think a certain way. Furthermore, these Sonamy posts (one of them being "big news") came RIGHT AFTER Sonadow won 5th place on Tumblr for ship week 2026 and after the Lunar New Year's post of them riding on horses. So, this is an example on how they want complete CONTROL.

Overall, they don't care about anyone else but themselves and don't care if other people get hurt. It also seems they WANT us to get hurt if this podcast is ANYTHING to go by. All of those tactics they did, it hurts and is filled with malice!

I understand the frustration with the whole team thing. She isn't a part of Team Sonic (not even the Sonic Team animation logo when you play games has her), but because of fans and the bias employees, the actresses and movie account above considers her in it while OMITTING SHADOW. I don't know if they realize how insensitive and rude they are being by pushing Shadow out. It hurt many Shadow fans to see them ignore him like so, even if he is the one that made so much money and is popular with Keanu (I even saw several people mention him who aren't officials)! There isn't even a RIP or any acknowledgement, even if he is alive! I don't think I see Idris mention anything, but neither of the MORE PROFESSIONAL ACTORS talked about this reveal either. The human characters are important too, but I think they ignore them due to online "fans" being angry about "too many humans taking up screen time" over the non human ones.

I personally don't think a lot of people AND characters know what "actual love" is and instead, associate it with "lust." That's probably why the way they describe "love" and doing things in the name of "love" makes no sense.

Apparently things like LUST is even more important than MONEY to these guys. I guess since they aren't the ones who have to deal with the losses, they don't fully understand or care about that.

Take this post the main Sonic America SNS account retweeted biasly and creepily. They retweeted A GROWN MAN BEING EXCITED FOR AMY. I thought she was for little girls? This man can be excited on his own, but it's weird how he doesn't seem much of an Amy fan from his account, but looking closer, it seems he is "paid with merchandise" by these bias employees, even though he is a "Shadow fan." So it may be scripted or forced to have him fake being excited for her so that they can retweet it, even though he is a Shadow fan. They often do this to influencers and fans. They pay them off some how to get them to promote Amy. Them using a grown man though, is creepy.

I hope I got everything!

Now for the Sonadow question! 😊

Sonic: "Actually, when Shadow is distracted, I go and make some calls to arrange things..." 😳

Shadow: "🥺 He knows everything some how...I don't know how to hide anything from him! ! It must be our hearts..." 💙🖤

Sonic: "Oh! Poor cute Shadow...he doesn't have the ability to show his heart to anyone else but me...."

Shadow: "🥺😳 He knows everything..."

Thank you for the questions!

Episode 6

I think I have a few things to say about this episode and the most important one is Rosalia.

I already saw some comments saying that if beemoov will give us abortion as one of the topics then they will be really displeased (so to say the words they used where different. Not a good different)

Anyway.

If they give a topic like that and I know beemoov has a shitty writing but this can not be your only argument, to say that you don’t want this kind of topic.

I think this would be good. To show that women have a choice. This is your choice. No one can tell you that you need to have this child. The only thing you need to do is take a shit.

Honestly look at Rosa from the beginning of this game. Do you really think she is in her right mind now? That she could take care of a child if she says to her bff to leave and go shopping with her, fuck school?

If she decided to have the child then good, perfect you have loving parents, loving boyfriend you won’t be alone. Congratulations sweetie I’ll help how I can.

BUT

If she will get an abortion? Okay. You doing good sweetie. This is your choice. You want to end school first? Be stable emotionally and be sure that you can give sth for your child? Perfect baby. You go do what you want to do.

And maybe you never want to have a child? That’s good to.

Most of us our young or in the age when you start to think about children. And that’s okay.

But it’s different when you learn that you have a choice.

Thanks to topics like that you spread the word. We spread the word to other women that they have a choice, and this choice is only theirs.

Please remember in some countries women don’t have that.

If your opinion is different? That’s perfect. Really. I understand that some people don’t have to have the same opinion as me.

But this is my opinion and I decided to voice it.

This is my choice too.

Confronting Your Parents...

Let it first be said that I love my mom, and we've always had a relatively good relationship. But I did have to meet up with her and talk about some of her recent behavior, over dinner. It's really one of the hardest things when one or both of your parents are being really immature and dumb about something, and you...their adult child...have to be the one to sit them down and call them out. Firstly, you have their natural tendency to think that because they are your parent, you have no right or authority to say that they're wrong. And this really comes down to respect... You have to respect them first, and they have to see that the life you're living is one they can be proud of. If you're not doing anything with your life, or if you're just a dick, you will have no credibility to stand on. Secondly, if you are not careful to avoid being combative or offensive, they'll shut you down. Make sure they know that you are addressing the matter with love, and that you are not trying to attack them. Third, if your parent is one who will instantly become combative, even if you are not, do not give in. Continue to take the high road... be the bigger person by keeping your cool and remaining respectful. Four: as with anyone, never tell someone they're doing something wrong without having a clear reason, and a suggestion on how they can handle the matter better. Perhaps most importantly, never lose sight of the fact that, no matter how old you are, they are still your parents...no matter how broken or wrong they are at the moment. Even if they can't boss you around anymore, they are your parents, and you should always treat them with honor. With my mother... she's in a difficult place rn, and I won't give details out of respect for her. She wasnt necessarily performing and immoral action, but it was more of her attitude and the way she was going about things that just wasn't okay. My sister and she have just been butting heads without making any progress, so I had to step in and play mediator for my family... again... just like Ive spent the last 22 years of my life doing. And it honesty killed me to have to say some of the things I did... Because nobody wants to hurt their mom's feelings. But she did come to admit that I was right in the things we discussed, and that she'd continue to think about it... even if she didn't really want to necessarily accept what I said. But I did give her a challenge. It's one that we should all hold our parents to, and remember to live up to in our own lives. I told her, "No matter how hard it gets, try to have the marriage that you want me to have." With watery eyes, she lightly chuckled as she responded, "That's not fair!" Lol. Part of her meant it, and part of her very clearly agreed that she should be doing that. I hope and pray that none of you will have to sit your parent down and call them out. But if you do, remember to love and respect them even if, in that moment, you don't think they deserve it. Because if you can't take the high ground, you can't tell anyone else to, either.

Of Mice and Men Essay

Yo. It’s been a while. I’ve always said I was quite an irregular poster.

But I’m here to post what I consider to be one of my greatest achievements to date, 5th March 2017.

I just completed a 1.5k+ word essay on the book ‘Of Mice and Men’, on the modified topic question of “Every good story needs a hero.” Does Of Mice and Men have a ‘hero’ character? And if so, who is it and why?

I’d like to dedicate this essay to Sian for their help in coming up with ideas for some of the harder characters like Curley, and believing that I could write this in a day, which I did manage.

Here we go. This is a whole days worth of work for me. I’m off to bed now.

Not all stories have a clear and defined ‘hero’ character, but that does not mean that the story is a ‘bad’ one. A story does not have to have a single ‘hero’ character, rather all characters are heroes in their own way. Each character is both ‘good’ and ‘bad’, there is no totally bad or totally good, only an in-between. Being a hero is a subjective, a singular reader’s perspective differs to the next.

A mere stablehand. A nigger. Proud. Aloof. Crooks the negro stable-buck was segregated from the fellowship of man that existed in the close quarters of the bunk house. He lived in a totally different world to what we in exist in now. Here in modern Sydney, the level of discrimination and hatred that was directed towards him over the course of his lifetime, made worse by his hunched back would not have been stood for, it’s more than barely legal, it’s prosecutable. The racial discrimination and slurs went above and beyond what anyone should ever have to go through, and yet he persisted. He knew that if he kept to himself, and left the white men alone, the racial language and actions against him wouldn’t be as bad, but no matter what he did it would always be there. Unescapable. The way he treats his possessions shows that if he had anyone willing to befriend him that he wouldn’t treat them like the dirt he was considered to be. His patience in such a dire time is truly indicative of a hero waiting for his time to come.

Mrs Curley, AKA Curley’s wife as she is simply known to us, was shown as nothing more than a tart and a whore though her provocative behaviour is most likely a hidden desire for fulfilling her personal dreams and hopes of a man to love and take care of her, as seen in the barn in Chapter 5 when she lets Lennie stroke her hair. Her own weaknesses led to her death, it’s a classic Aristotle model of tragedy in which the hero is seriously flawed, taking them down the path to their own downfall. Mrs Curley’s plans to seduce the ranchers failed, ultimately ending in her tragic death at Lennie’s hands, a pristine example of Robert Burns “the best laid plans of mice and men / often go awry” from the 1785 poem ‘To A Mouse’.

Candy’s name is one of the most fitting in Of Mice & Men. The soft-spoken amputee is the first character we meet on the ranch. From the moment he met George and Lennie, he welcomed them, though he may have simply dismissed them as just another couple a’ men passing through, until he hears George and Lennie’s dream. His heroic offering of his money to fund the purchase of their dream land is exemplary of a self-less man who simply wishes to see others reach their goals. When he and George discover the body of Curley’s wife, he aids George in the cover-up of her death, giving us a glimpse of his mindset that if he were to be discovered it wouldn’t matter, he was coming close to his time to go, similar to his dog.

In the novella of Of Mice and Men, Carlson, one of the ranch workers there at the time of George and Lennie’s stay and is more one of the silent background with a few standout scenes. His first scene in which we get a real glance of who Carlson is as a person is when he convinces Candy that his dog should be put out of its misery. Carlson’s forcing of Candy’s hand, as well as getting others in bunkhouse such as Slim who carries power, was all in name of the dog, who being “all stiff with rheumatism” wouldn’t have had a good life in the lead up to his shooting as his health deteriorated, and it would have declined as the weeks and months past. The dog’s combined conditions were not only detrimental to itself but detrimental to the health of those in the bunkhouse who had to share close quarters with the canine. Carlson as an occupant of the small, tight, shared quarters was heroic in that the diseases the dog could very well have easily transferred to one of the workers and spread like wildfire throughout the farm. He went after Lennie for the same reason that he went after Candy’s dog. He believed Lennie was threatening to the farm rancher’s lifestyle.

The boss’ son. Temperamental. Curley is hard to view as a hero and likeable from a modern day perspective, but if we were to be transported back in time to the Great Depression with the same mindset and knowledge of the local lads at the time and gone through the same struggles to survive that they suffered, he would truly be considered heroic in his actions and dead-set revenge wish to get back at the one who had taken his wife from their world, a true 'manly' quality for that time period. Though he is constantly antagonistic of the fellow workers, believing himself to be above the others, with the possible exception of Slim, he was simply acting on his testosterone and the reactants or stressors in his life.

The strong and silent character of this novel is clearly Slim. Slim’s longtime role on the farm is being the jerkline skinner, the job of head mule skinner. Though on the farm his position commanded respect, his word taken for granted along with his authority on any subject, his personality was quiet, asking for no trouble, kind. His gentle temperament has a high chance of being one of the reasons he kept his bitch’s pups. Many in that time would have shot them or sold them off for anyone willing to buy them as it was hard times and men did what they could to get by. Although he joins the other men in the whorehouse, all have their flaws and weaknesses. True heroes care for all man and animal kind and treat them as equals. Both Slim and Carlson show this trait. Slim didn’t want to go after Lennie, but as he’s still just a worker on the ranch and could be fired at a moment’s notice. Our jerkline skinner didn’t retaliate when Curley went after him believing Slim was getting down and dirty with his wife behind his back, he defended the innocent Lennie who had no idea what he was doing.

The first to speak in Of Mice and Men was George calling Lennie’s name, trying to keep his companion from making himself sick. He became an unknown hero from the very moment in which he took on Lennie as his companion and cared for him after his Aunt Clara died. George himself laments in Chapter 1 on what he could do if he didn’t have Lennie weighing him down, though he almost regrets his monologue when he inwardly realises that no matter what he says to Lennie, no matter how often he rants and gets mad at Lennie, Lennie is never going to remember. George’s protectiveness of Lennie and valiant efforts to keep him out of trouble shows that he does care for Lennie and tries to keep him out of trouble, it’s just impossible to be guarding Lennie 24/7. In putting Lennie out of his misery, George saved him from the only other two possible options he had. Lennie could have gone away to jail to most likely face the capital punishment of death for killing another. His only other option would have been death by another rifle at the hands of Curley, tortured and murdered in cold blood. George’s actions saved from a world of pain, when he pulled the trigger on the Luger aimed at Lennie’s head, he in a way heroically saved his friend a world of pain and suffering. Took him away from impending misery once and for all.

The simple-minded and endearing abominable snowman from Looney Tunes is unforgettable when he picks up Daffy Duck and says “I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him.” The easily lovable snowman was based on this character, whose last name is ironic when you consider his physical frame. His physical frame definitely does not indicate his demeanour though. Lennie has his dreams and hopes for a better future just like any other of the other characters. He’s the most likeable thanks to his childlike simplicity which masks and hides nothing of his thought process from the world. His kindness and innocence show him as an unlikely hero if like many, we took each character at first glance and the levels of meanness shown by the others compared to the softness of Lennie.

Our subconscious’ automatically root for the best heroes, although not all are easily likeable at the first meeting, e.g Severus Snape in Harry Potter who we later learn held grudges toward Harry due to his parents actions and others misgivings around him. We as readers must learn to adapt our behaviour when reading, and not automatically jump to conclusions about characters and their ulterior motives before they have even finished a conversation.

[sonadowwiki]

So if fake fans hate Sonadow so much, how they feel about lesbian ships?

It depends.

If they are "extremely religious" or come from a certain "culture" or "country," they don't like those either. We had a "fan" come and implied to us that Arabic fans didn't like both male x male and female x female, so this is how we got some example of these groups of people. Also, some "fans" make their religon known and put it into their fanart for religous propaganda (from my personal experience, they mostly tend to be Amy fans).

Next, there are a few male "fans" who don't like it due to their own reasons, such as liking one of the female characters for themselves. This is why some "male fans" don't like Tangle x Whisper. If I recall, there was drama about a man who liked Whisper and was mean to those who shipped her with Tangle. Some men just want all the ladies to themselves or to at least belong to another man. (It's about CONTROL.)

Bias employees at SEGA HARDlight, "an official branch of the company," were also prejudice to this ship around a past Valentine's where they labeled them "concretely" (though they don't have a say) as "just friends" in celebration of Galentine's day, something that upset many fans at the time. Galentine's day is the day before Valentine's day where female friends have fun and appreciate each other. For some, this friend celebration comes before they celebrate Valentine's day with their "man." So, these bias employees basically implied: "Tangle and Whisper aren't romantically together and should be going with a man tomorrow."

Some time ago, they also deleted their post on X (but not on other SNS like Facebook) that claimed they supported LGBTQ+.

Not only is SEGA HARDlight bias for Amy/Sonamy, they are also prejudice towards anything that isn't male x female. This is also obviously shown in Sonic Dream Team, another game they created, where Dan Rossati, a man and employee of the branch, claimed that the female characters "pair up nicely" with the male characters. Sonic "pairs up nicely" with Shadow as someone who is EQUAL TO HIM, but instead of Shadow, they had Amy pair up with Sonic. (For example, Shadow is equal in speed to Sonic, not Amy, but just because she is a female, she is paired with Sonic due to this bias outlook.) (Amy is also biasly in the middle of the title image as well as when you pick a character in the game, as if she is the main/important character. Only later was Shadow added and was next to Sonic in the icon when he was included. When Shadow was added, he also was made to reach out towards Amy in a cutscene, giving her more focus. Amy is also in between Sonic and Shadow, separating them when selecting a character.)

The writer of the article also claims that SEGA HARDlight is home to a lot of Cream fans...if that's true, this just makes things more "creepy."

So, even if they showed some "Sonadow" content, don't be fooled. Not everyone in this branch agrees and from what I've seen, has some of the most bias and prejudice employees.

Back to the "fans," there are the male fans who do want female x female ships. But this time, they want ONLY WOMEN EVERYWHERE! No man in sight, only women. They want to erase every male character in this series and replace them with only women. ("HOT CHICK HEAVEN")

Last, there are those men who rather have female x female ships over male x male. They RATHER have that and TOLERATE it, but they ABSOLUTELY HATE male x male relationships. They want no business with male x male. They push females to go with men, both real and fictional. (CONTROL)

Usually, men who do like female x female are ones with anime backgrounds. But overall, these "bias" online men hate seeing men the most, their own kind, and often express how they "don't understand the appeal" of handsome men or male x male relationships when it's more like they don't want to understand because they are dead set on how they see their lustful preferences (they think EVERYONE only cares about looks like they do, not emotions, personality or anything of the like).

Thank you for the question!

[sonadowwiki]

How often do Sonadow fans get bullied off the fandom? And do they get criticized of bullying others?

As the years have gone on with more Sonadow content being more prominent, the bullying off of the "fandom" has drastically decreased. In former years, it happened constantly. But now, it's less frequent and organized, but it still happens!

Before, (me and the former admin went through this too) the main thing these "bad fans" would do is try to mass harass in a small or large group the Sonadow fans, who often are on their own, off of the platform they are on or to silence/"pacify" or change them into "one of them." They'd pick out any mistake they do or insult/discredit the Sonadow content the Sonadow fan would create or talk about in a group attack, discouraging the fan from ever posting again. It also happens if you say something they don't like or don't want people to know.

One of the things I see happens the most if the Sonadow fans (mainly artists) aren't chased off is that they turn into Sonamy/Shadamy shippers fully or at least partially. It's really sad because a lot of this happened to the people who actually portrayed their relationship correctly and/or wholesome/heartfully. There could be many reasons such as wanting to fit in with people, getting influenced, or being "afraid" of what will happen to them if they don't. But, unless we hear their reason, we don't know why they decide to help those who harassed them.

Now, I'll talk about what happened in 2024 when Sonic x Shadow Generations was announced and how many "bad, "creepy," and/or ill online men" tried to make a huge hate campaign against it! When this happened, they tried really hard to insult the name, saying it was "weird, disgusting, and that it's a tactic by the "company" to hide "sonadow" art by making others see the game title/content instead (Sonic Prime had aired already showing Sonadow too, so it makes this statement ridiculous!), so that people will be scarred from seeing it, etc.. Some "popular" influencers in the Sonic community the employees work with even insulted it! The "bad fans" even tried to insult it by making it "a meme (a joke)" when it isn't even a meme! Many people had used "Character x Character" as shipping terms, so saying specifically Sonic x Shadow is a meme is utterly ridiculous and meant to discourage people from "taking it seriously." Even game journalists jumped on this "fake" narrative/drama insulting the two even more!

(Thegamer article insulting the name.)

All these mainly "online bad "creepy" men" tried to put this title down due to it not being what they want, which is women and children to be "creepy" with. They hid their desires and what they do and projected it onto this title. When you look up ANY female character (or any female looking Pokémon even, for another example), just the female character, you get raunchy things too, not just this relationship. But here, they frame that this is the only relationship that gets this and would "scar people" as if their "raunchy" content of females doesn't!

Now, I'll talk about personal experiences from me and the former admin.

Back in 2021, when we first found out a really cool theory about Sonadow, the former admin posted a video about it and an X post. Somebody who lies, twists, and manipulates a lot of arguments for Sonamy/Amy, found it and sent a group of harassers to put the admin down. They tried to discredit everything the video said, mocked it, and insulted the admin. They even purposely left the admin's handle in the picture (while claiming that they didn't when confronted) so that others can go harass her to "silence" her, but it didn't work! My handle was also exposed and I was accused of being a sock puppet account when I was giving my support to the other admin. This bad Sonamy person wanted to stay hidden and didn't want anyone to know that it was them who sent everyone. Other things this person did was come up with the twisted argument that the rose in Sonic X is lavender when it's actually white (check Japanese flower meanings for white roses, it means silence, which is what happened in that scene. Sonic also mouths "don't cry" in Japanese). Many Sonamy fans for awhile spread this lie because of this person. This person also lied about translations and had Sonamy fans spread these lies about it too! They also indirectly discredited our page for stating the "biasness, unprofessionalism, and tactics" of the bias employees. This person even claims that they know a "big wig" inside the series/company!

When we made the first version of the wiki (which is now old and defunct), we got A LOT of people who harassed us for it. They hated how we pointed out the "truth" and how there were many "Sonadow" related moments and things! They wanted to control or stop us. There are still people from this group who lie about us and haven't taken down their posts, videos, or comments about us. They even went through the effort of lying and coercing to the Fandom staff to get our content taken down! So, if you see a post or video negatively talking about us, it's mainly from these guys! There's also a tumblr post about us on here claiming they are "embarrassed as a Sonadow fan" from us "pointing out the injustice."

I was personally mass harassed on X for pointing out the "truth" and how messed up it was that they joked about "murder." Many people came to harass me and found me through a Sonadow post in the Sonadow Community I made talking about how bias the Shipping Wiki was against Sonadow, but were lenient on Sonamy. This shows how they looked EVERYWHERE. Someone asked me what I was talking about and left me alone to be bullied (The harassers thought I was talking on my own when I was answering someone else who deleted their comment asking for more information! They apologized, but the damage had already been done.)

Last main thing is how most "Sonadow fans" seem to ostracize us. This includes how a group of them stole our hard work on the wiki and used it in a video without properly crediting us. That video is promoted on places many people look at like the Shipping Wiki and the website, Sonadowonline. We aren't promoted on any of these sites except by one commenter in the comments on the Shipping Wiki whom a harasser lied to about us. Another is some other fan plagiarizing our analyzations on the wiki and putting it on the Shipping Wiki without our consent. These "Sonadow fans" view Sonadow very differently from us and it seems they wish to promote "their version" rather than the real deal. This goes for people who we thought were nice as they talked to us, but over a sudden, turned on us for some reason. We often get comments like "Don't you know what they're saying about you?" But whenever we look around, we see nothing. We know the wiki harassers made a few things in popular public spaces, but other than them, we don't see anything. Yet these people claim that a whole bunch of people say bad things about us, as if they are afraid or are being blackmailed or something. They especially "demonize" the past admin without taking the time to know her or they rather believe the "bad fans" instead (the wiki harassers and a particular Sonamy group did this too). (If anyone has any information on what they are saying about us, like in Discord Chats, we'd appreciate if we can be shown it!) There seems to be no evidence of this so we feel like they may be just saying it to get us under their control or to "promote their ideals." Some of these "nice" fans also over a sudden, want nothing to do with us and tend to ghost us. Even when we ask or confront them, they never answer where some even indirectly call us "delusional, crazy," etc. and gaslight us into thinking that they didn't steal from us. We don't know why nor the reason why they refuse to even talk to us.

Other instances are like when a doxx on X happened where one of their main targets was the Sonadow tag, allegedly. Some big artists also got their Patreon/paid content stolen and put for free.

As for the second question, yes, some harassers try to also point out that "Sonadow fans" harass others too. This is true, but not to the same extent the "creepy" men did. They try to say they're the same as them when they aren't. Their type of bullying is more of "stealing work and claiming as their own," "staying in line while pushing out/ignoring others who don't," and "wanting their way of thinking of the relationship." There are those rare few who are like extreme mean Sonamy fans and do toxic, but it's rare. They tend to have more sense than them. And as the same as most other "shippers," they do tend to gloat about "winning," just like the Sonamy fans or any other ship.

As for those who do the bullying, when we were looking more in the past, they barely get called out in public. It's always in secret or venting on other spaces within their communities. When someone does point them out, they get mass harassed into silence. Nowadays, more people are standing up to them and pointing out their lies/bullying. We needed this a long time ago, now, it's a bit too late due to the damages already done to everyone and everything.

Thank you for your question!

I really don't wanna watch or hear about the next Sonic film coming out soon, because. How will I know that these "employees" are not just gonna abuse their"power"by doing the sleaziest thing by basically selfishly and forcibly pushing their views on Amy by giving her more "important roles" or basically stripping other characters important roles away from them,or tossing them aside like they don't matter, just so her and Sonic can get more screen time, just to promote more SonAmy moments. Or have Shadow portray them, just to use him as an excuse to elevate and hype up Amy, like they been doing with Boom, Prime, IDW all just to approve a small group online "fans".

I completely understand. Originally, the movies were supposed to stop. It was supposed to be a trilogy according to some past articles! Furthermore, they completely ruined the third movie for those "small group of online fans!"

The rumors and the writers (who wanted her to be important and not be obscured by any other character, which is why they "claimed" she WASN'T in the main parts of the third movie) don't help this "upsetting possible outcome." These small select people have shown where they stand and that's not reassuring, especially after seeing how they massacred the third movie! EVEN THE VAs AND ACTORS don't make things feel ANY better!

(Next paragraph is disturbing. Not for minors!)

Tika, for example, wanted Amy to "spice things up," while pointing out that Amy is a female! That sounds so wrong...because in this universe, THEY ARE CHILDREN AND SHE IS ACTING AS A PARENT IN THE MOVIE AND IS AN ACTUAL PARENT IN REAL LIFE!

Another rumor going around is that Amy basically "takes Silver's role" and is from a parallel bad future. Many fans were already angry that Amy was picked instead of Silver, so this is more a slap to the face if true! More fans are more angry now and yet, the Amy fans find excuses as to why THIS is ok while getting mad that she didn't "convince Shadow" in the previous movie!

What also doesn't help is that some bias employees have been trying to manipulate fans to ask or push for a "Year of Amy," something they already have been doing, just not "announcing it officially" (2022 - 2023) since they try to put her as important everywhere they can! (I would like to see a comparison of ALL IDW covers, including variants, and see just how many have her and with her big/important near or in the center! She is on so many!) So, instead of Metal, they thought to focus on her...again. Even a TailsTube had her "imply" that she will do things "more and better!" That's not reassuring AT ALL, especially when they are STILL TRYING TO PUT HER MORE THAN OTHERS AND AS IMPORTANT!

To even use the third movie, with and is for Shadow, something that is very expensive, while ruining it, to promote her IS upsetting! It is the same with almost EVERYTHING else.

So, in all, I completely understand how dreading it feels for next year. But, as long as they keep doing what they want and have that "support," things will be difficult to change unless SOMEBODY steps up and stops them or points them out!

Thank you for your submission!

Is there an explanation on why SEGA took, away the Sonic characters' ages for no reason? What was even the point of giving, the characters' ages in the first place? Another thing that bugs me is, the censorship for Rouge's design. Why does SEGA care now, when back then they didn't? Along with politics being shoved, into the franchise from people (Specifically on Twitter/articles on websites).

This is a bit of a complicated thing to answer because it requires knowledge of the "general what crazy things are going on."

There wasn't an explanation from the Japanese side as to why the ages were removed. It was simply just done with no explanation on the Sonic Channel JP website.

Bias employee(s) in the West, who lie about most lore changes, stated at some point that some of the characters "have matured now" with nothing to show for it. This was conjured as an "false explanation." The "fans" took this up and spread this "lie," making it "seem real and true." So basically, the bias employees conjured a "false explanation that is a lie" that has no "evidence" or "backed it" with "false evidence" to make it "seem real or true." It's a bit difficult to explain, but basically, the "real explanation" is that there is no explanation because the Japanese didn't give one, but the bias western employees provided that the "explanation" is that it's because some characters have "matured now."

There might be an explanation that we don't get to know or see yet from the Japanese side. Sometimes, things are changed due to how the company wants to change things.

Hm, I understand why people are angry about Rouge's censorship. It happened in Prime as well. It's because people don't like change and for something they've always known to change. It feels like a "betrayal." However, it's the intentions of why do people want Rouge to not be censored. Is it because they are lustful people and want to look at her to lust over? Her cleavelege isn't appropriate for children and children don't need to focus on lustful things. Changing that part doesn't change the idea of the game unless it's the idea to lust over her in a game children can play. If the game was rated higher, then there wouldn't be any problems of Rouge looking like her original self. As time changes, companies realize that the things they made, aren't appropriate. Rouge was made to be sexualized, but now how companies rate things also have changed. As another example, Amy was first created as an 8 year old child in the female preferences of her older men creators. She was then aged up to 12 since that looked really "creepy" (not to say 12 isn't still creepy as well). Now, her age has been removed completely. So, things change due to how "inappropriate" things look for a series that is at the moment, also for children.

Thank you for the questions!
