@GHShuffle That guy. Who cares what other people are thinking about his interpretation or why it's interpreted that why. You don't see Latino people up in arms about speedy Gonzales and he actually has a ton a stereotypes incorporated into his character.

[Gary @Garathew]

@GHShuffle I think it's insane that the only people that have to make thinkpieces on why a character is like them is POC people. Knuckles isn't associated with negative stereotypes or rap music, that's not why people claim him. It's the same reason we claim piccolo. Because he really is

@orangeteespin Holy larp

[Gary @Garathew]

@orangeteespin I think you're thinking it needs to be more complicated than it is

[Gary @Garathew]

@orangeteespin I think fixing the issue of having an accurate representation of the food you're going to purchase is a good use of time personally!

[Gary @Garathew]

@lstemeraldshard @garyondreams I'll give you this one 😭

[Gary @Garathew]

Goodbye braids

[Gary @Garathew]

@orangeteespin NVM I misread I agree

[Gary @Garathew]

@orangeteespin Easy now

[Gary @Garathew]

@orangeteespin It's kind of crazy how much the platform has degraded in just a year and a half

[Gary @Garathew]

It's not functional anymore

[Gary @Garathew]

Nobody knows how functional TikTok is but I do...

@Danny8bit @SirL0serX About what, exactly? Just to clarify

[Gary @Garathew]

@Danny8bit @SirL0serX All I'm going to say at this point is two things can be true. This is an issue of black and white perception

[Gary @Garathew]

@Danny8bit @SirL0serX But it's not wrong to say that he can be interpreted as morally grey, because of his selfish actions.

[Gary @Garathew]

@Danny8bit @SirL0serX It's not though. And one Google search of the definition gives you a character description of Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic doesn't act in the interest of good and evil. He acts in his own interest. If you interpret him as a hero, that's fine.

[Gary @Garathew]

@Danny8bit @SirL0serX And that allows Sonic narratively to be the bad guy. Which is what alot of people like. He can be chaotic good to US. But narratively you can't be chaotic good if nobody thinks you have their best interests in mind in the first place

[Gary @Garathew]

@Danny8bit @SirL0serX He's morally grey to everyone around him. Hell there's moments in IDW where Sonic gets in trouble for his questionable morality. But I think the issue is that you're thinking of morality as a binary, but it's not. Morality is in the context of who's holding it.

[Gary @Garathew]

@Danny8bit @SirL0serX In the context of the viewer, but his morality WAS in question for this instance. And I think that's what we're aiming for here.
