Badnik works fine, as long as it remains synonymous with "funny animal-like robot"
A somewhat acceptable compromise, just like the Robotnik surname, or the chili dog meme
The real problem is people like Pontaff who label fucking Egg Pawns as badniks, or people like Ian and his stupid SuPeRbAdNiK headcanon

Like, dude, it's Eggman
Motherfucker it's a perfectionist, and everything it's labeled accordingly to different eras
If Classic, it's probably a badnik
If "Early Modern", it's either a Pawn-series, or E-Series
If "Recent Modern", we just go with "Egg Something"
But that's aparently way too much for these fucking frauds
