Yeah, that's exactly what I expected...I'm sorry about that. It must be annoying to see a ton of people agree with you only after he's become main writer of the games and it's too late to do anything about it.
>The only time I saw a slight crack in his reputation was when he revealed Sally and Nicole were gay
I wonder if there were threads on /co/ about this when it happened, and if I can still find them in the archives. Maybe I should go look later. I'm interested in what people had to say because Sally was essentially the straightest character in the franchise up until then.

Pontac and Graff set the standards to the lowest level possible. Anybody who had even a slight interest in Sonic would have been an improvement. So, purely on a technical level, Ian is an improvement over Pontaff. Yet despite this, I'll occasionally wish we had them back instead of Ian. Pontaff did not have a hoard of people who would defend every mischaracterization of theirs. Pontaff did not passive aggressively shit on Sega on a podcast. Pontaff did not engage in Twitter drama or political virtue signalling. Ian Flynn does, and it annoys me to no end.
I got blocked by Ian for memeing about him on my own profile. I never threatened him or replied to him. That's who's writing the character(s) I hold dear, and it's demoralizing.

Gerald erased Shadow's important memories of Maria in SA2, because if he didn't, Shadow wouldn't do what he wanted.
Black Doom tried to erase Shadow's memories of Maria in Jet Black Hedgehog, because if he didn't, Shadow wouldn't do what he wanted.
Shadow's love for Maria is so strong that not even deliberate invasive attempts to suppress it work.

I hate Xitter so much it's unreal.
