Member when Tangle and Whisper were a "lesbian couple" only for the comic staff to release a statement that they weren't? Expecting SoJ to put in effort to reference the comic is retarded.

Going by the pattern of things, the next bit of deflection will be that "Sega" didn't approve of things with Lunar and thus none of the IDW staff are responsible. Just like with Tangle and Whisper. Boy, I wonder how long it'll be until Nite and Don are confirmed straight per "Sega mandates"?

>weren't originally pitched as gay
I'm gonna call bullshit on that. It has nothing to do with the pitch but because Sega doesn't want their stuff to get banned in China and the Middle East. There will NEVER be an actual not gay character in Sonic, IDW or otherwise.

That's why Hardlight had to delete that Sonic art with the pride flags. That's also why, after years of pushing them as a gay couple, Flynn had to make a public tweet about how it was all a lie.
