#Ian also saw almost a dozen pictures of Silver with apples and thinks he’d be into Mac and Cheese

You have no idea how annoying it is being a Black non-Uwuver Silver fan and having to deal with “Coleslaw Cruncher” memes. All because Ian didn’t do any actual research and thinks that Silver had to scrounge for food in the apocalypse. He didn’t.

Silver had access to rations in his apocalyptic future and they were even apple flavored ones because apples are all but outright stated to be Silver’s favorite food(the fact that he ate apple flavored calorie bars pretty much confirms it) but Ian still doesn’t know any of this and thinks Silver had to scavenge for food and has all these stupid hang ups and weird tastes.(hence why he wrote him putting coleslaw on a damn hotdog), he doesn’t. His favorite food is apples and he had access to rations in the bad future. He wouldn’t put coleslaw on a chilidog. He didn’t have to “scrounge together anything he could make edible”. He doesn’t have stupid food problems.

Ian thinks that because he doesn’t do very much actual research on Silver and writes him around assumptions. That’s why he thought Silver was alone for most of his life in the bad future when Silver plainly mentions people living without hope and talking to them for answers in his story in 06 but if Ian actually paid attention to Silver’s dialogue then he wouldn’t say something like “Silver has never been rude or disrespectful ever”. Because Ian doesn’t know what he’s talking about I have to deal with everyone dunking on Silver for being lame and white.

If you really think about it, Silver should unironically be the ultimate hood character. In character he’s aggressive, he’s rude, he’s ignorant in both the literal and the Hood sense of the word, he has golden tan skin(compare him to Sonic in the above image) and he’s from an actual fucking ghetto in Crisis City(Yes he still has that backstory after Sonic 06) but because he has awkward high pitched dub voices and he’s written by relatively sheltered people we get this stupid awkward timid “cinnamon roll” instead.

The fact that Ian said “Silver has never been rude or disrespectful ever” not only shows how blatantly ignorant he is about the character but also how out of touch he is that he thinks a character whose backstory is about fighting through literal Hell for most of his life would be polite and non at all aggressive(don’t @ me with “character development” because the writers demonstrably never knew that Silver was ever rude and aggressive). I grew up around several bad neighborhoods and can tell you that the streets absolutely DO NOT turn out anything resembling Uwuver, and the world Silver came from is pretty much the Hell on Earth edition of the streets. I’m glad that more people are turning on Uwuver and that Black Twitter universally hates this crap because Uwuver is not only lame and out of character for Silver but an insult to anyone that came from a harsh environment.

tl;dr: Silver isn’t lame and white. Uwuver is.
