my trusty old mouse finally died and i don't think i like this new mouse as much. :(
Okay. So, as we inch ever closer to the release of Sonic 3, I want to throw this out as kind of a pre-emptive plea to the Sonic fandom as a whole.
I do not want a rerun of the anger, the venom, the hate that was so prevalent after the Knuckles series came out.
I get that the movie universe isn't everyone's cup of tea. I get that some are angry at the direction the films have chosen, at the changes made to characters, at the changes made to lore and backstories and whatnot.
I get that. I really, really do.
But I'm imploring those of you who do not like the movies, please keep your scu rants behind tags so that we who do enjoy the films can filter it out. The negativity that ran rampant when the series came out hurt a lot of people. My own motivations and excitement for the movie-verse as a whole dropped, and hasn't fully returned. I came into the fandom by way of the movies, so seeing such hatred for what I truly enjoyed was like a kick in the gut.
Are the movies perfect? No. No media is perfect. But they're my 'home base' of Sonic media. How I came in. They opened up all other Sonic lore and characters and backstories to me. So they hold a special place in my heart. And I know a number of other people who came into Sonic that way, too.
I'm in no way trying to censor anyone. Spout your rants. Voice your opinion, by all means. Just, please tag it appropriately so those who do not agree and do not want to see that negativity can filter it out. That's all I ask.
Thank you.

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"
Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.
Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :
They make a hateful, fascist statement
Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong
We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process
We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go
They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.
Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.
Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)
Yall, I diagnose the creative energy of the mecha pilot au community as highly contagious and suspiciously inspirational,, here! Have some art as compensation,, TuTπ«Ά
- My legs donβt work.. Donβt worry!,, Mine do <33
- Another angle ^u^π«Ά
- Coming to you live from Shockwaves cockpit,, T^Ε€7 *cries*
- Doododoo π΅,, something probably blew up recently <3, ππβ¨
I canβt even with all the art and shenanigans! Itβs everywhere?? You are all some little creative geniuses! ππ

And nary but *crickets* from the national media. The revolution is NOT being televised, it is being suppressed.Β
Just remember, you are NOT alone. People ARE doing things. You will meet those people when YOU start doing things.
But we cannot rely on the courts alone. Trump is already defying numerous restraining orders, and the Executive branch controls the enforcement arm of federal law (U.S. Marshals Service).
When Trump inevitably refuses to comply with the courts and directs the DOJ/U.S. Marshals to stand down, effectively neutering the Judicial branch of the government, it will signal THE END OF U.S. DEMOCRACY.
Our only recourse will be to take to the streets. WE THE PEOPLE, need to demand rule of law by asserting our First Amendment right to assemble while we still have it.
Rise up against tyranny/oligarchy/white supremacy/you-name-it
