Autistic Whatever

First, it'd be nice to have some more body variety, especially among the female characters. And second, the idea of a big, strong, muscular woman whose actually a dorky klutz sounds adorable.

In Ian's words from a really old BumbleKast, when a writer is contracted to create a script for a game, they're steering the ship but not plotting the course. Sonic Team would have given him the task, he would have simply had to work with what he was given.

With Frontiers for example they probably already had the plot set out, Sage, Cyber Corruption, The End, all of these are Sonic Team's decisions and likely existed long before Ian was on the project. For the Generations rewrite he was (most likely) just tasked with re-doing the original script in a way that's more fitting with the modern writing and lore, while still keeping the original cutscenes, we can critique his execution but he wasn't the one that decided on doing a rewrite, he wasn't the one who changed Amy's animations, and he certainly wasn't in charge of the voice direction. (I have my own theory that he probably thought they would re-animate the cutscenes and then had to cut down a new script to fit the old animations, because I do feel that the dialogue is a bit stilted, but that's just my thoughts. I don't think he's spoken publicly about this since bumblekast had to stop taking sonic related questions not long after the games launch)

And as much as I love to hate on Meta-era writing, this ALSO applies to Pontac and Graff. They were tasked to write a plot that feels like a kids show, with all of the irritating jokes and condescending unserious tone that comes with that, hatred for the tone and humour should not be directed towards the writers that were just doing what they were paid to do. Forces story was a mess, but I can't blame them when they were given a serious plot and told to not take it too seriously.

I think this discourse would end up a lot less toxic if we gave the writers the grace they deserve for doing the job they were tasked with.

I just discovered that the official website for TADC movie has used wix in order to make a website by right-clicking and opening the image, I've noticed that the images were hosted on static.wixstatic.com, as well as when I went to inspect mode, it was clear to me that they obviously used Wix to build the layout and stuff like that.

wix is an israeli company that supports zionism and AI btw

I'm sure that glitch didn't do background check of what this site they used for, of which now that I think about it, wasn't there like the controversy thing with deviantart (which is owned by wix nowadays) due to zionism?

I would think that for the creative company, they would at least be somewhat aware of its controversy

I am not accusing glitch of being an zionist company or supporting AI of course, but that's curious...

Anyways I'm here to have a petty complaint about the TADC movie and another way that stinking franchise keeps getting away with disrespecting black people, because why did my local theater take down the screenings for Is God Is and I Love Boosters just for this film to get extra rooms and time slots?!

They can't keep getting away with this!!!

Anyways it's late, gn.

(edit: anon clarified that they meant for this to be responded to)

And like. Holy shit what a bleak view of indie animation and people's creativity.

You think PPPIDWTBAMG is gonna fall off because of this? You think Fly and Hey! are gonna get cancelled because a Glitch cartoon flopped? You think My Girlfriend Enid and Stuck in the Globosphere are gonna nuke their Kickstarters because of this? You think smaller works like Mako and the Moon Killers and Starview (yes I'm aware they're made by the same person but still) are gonna never get animated just because TADC failed?

Do you think that?
