I wish folks could just be cool on here and have normal-ass discussions about Sonic the goddamn Hedgehog for once Ian and I definitely have different opinions and perspectives about writing, but I respect him immensely and think he’s a great writer. I also consider him a friend
Daniel Barnes and Ian Flynn have very different perspectives on writing the Sonic cast, it seems. I feel like people are going to weaponize Barnes against Flynn in future projects.

I’m a human being and so is Ian. Stop treating us as pawns in some parasocial internet agenda war. I should be able to share my strong opinions about Sonic storytelling philosophy, without you guys being weird about it I’m a fan too. I have been for over 30 years

If this was Archie Sonic (who was originally supposed to go through this, since Metal Virus was originally supposed to be an Archie story), I think this would be totally fine But, SEGASonic (the guy from the games and the IDW comics) shouldn't act like this
I give Sonic a lot of gruff over the Metal Virus saga but I also do defend him on the OOC allegations bro is EXHAUSTED idk how long the arc takes places over--weeks? months?--but Sonic hasn't been able to sleep ONCE because he'll turn

"What if Sonic doubted himself and started losing his confidence" is basically like going "What if Wile E. Coyote caught the Roadrunner" it's just not meant to be the point of the characters
