It is in an undeniable fact that Reddit is garbage, but it really needs to be expressed that it's one of the best places online to find people using words they don't understand and getting really angry when you prove them wrong

Me at Reddit right now

i'm always saying this

Once more I must cite sources because folks assume you'll take their "nuh-uh" as a sufficient counterargument.

While there's no "official" count, the general consensus is that there are roughly 50 or more errors within the Encyclospeedia. Greeny has documented some of them, as well as CrystalMaiden77:

Sonic Encyclospeedia Errors: by CrystalMaiden77 on DeviantArt

These are purely factual errors. That's not counting the various formatting, spelling, and grammatical errors:

---

"The other writers don't currently have any way to ask for questions reliably" - Sonic Team regularly answer fan questions on Twitter, including Shiro Maekawa.

"Silver has always been polite" - That is Flynn's own personal interpretation. And it's wrong.

We've been having this long, drawn-out debate for years because there are many, many layers of inaccuracy, strawman, and ego-flexing going on, but I'll just drop this link to give you a crash-course on the broad strokes:

"ST have been using mandated material to govern Shadow as this edgelord over every writer in the past 14 fucking years" - Sonic Reddit invented the concept of Shadow mandates in response to Shadow's poor portrayal in IDW 19, which spread through fandom-wide games of telephone. There's no concrete proof they exist. Nor did Shadow-specific mandates seem to exist before issue 19.

The likelier explanation for why IDW!Shadow is a poor portrayal but Dark Beginnings is not is that Flynn receives more feedback on Shadow because he doesn't understand the character.

If "98%" of references are "impossible to find," why are players complaining about the reference overload in Frontiers' message boards?

The constant attempts to reference past lore is kinda obnoxious. - Sonic Frontiers (gamespot.com)

Not to mention he straight-up plagiarized entire lyrics to a song from a fan band and did not credit them, just as a "reference":

Just in case you thought Ian Flynn putting song lyrics in dialogue was just a Sonic thing. : r/TwoBestFriendsPlay (reddit.com)

You're right, he doesn't hate Amy; he simply described her as "all over the place" and not-so-subtly put her and several other prominent girl characters down, calling Blaze the "singular kick-butt female character" among them, in order to imply his OC Tangle was going to fulfill a role none of them could.

His words. Not mine.

"He likes Team Hooligan? That's a problem now?"

It is if he's heavily implying his own fanon is games canon in a lore book that people pay for when it's not.

Lol the projection is strong in this one.

If he is a credible source on the basis that he, quote, is a "fan" of the series, then he should know something as basic how Chaos Control works within the context of the game in which the move debuted. You can't pick and choose. Either he's a credible source or he's not.

How Chaos Control works is not particularly obscure knowledge that only The Elitest of Sonic fans have.

The whole "Ian isn't an encyclopedia of perfect knowledge guys, come on" thing becomes especially ironic considering how vehemently you insisted the Encyclospeedia has no errors in it just because You Said So(tm).

Sure, Jan. Whatever you say.

---

"There are completely fair and respectful critiques of Ian Flynn out there that deserve to be heard and taken in. I am not saying his works are perfect and cannot be critiqued. This is just not how you do it lol."

I don't believe you.

Considering you lot go absolutely bananas whenever people contradict Flynn in any way, shape, or form, no matter how neutral the delivery or how heavily it comes attached with sources and screenshots...

...No. I don't believe you when you say you'll allow for "fair criticism," if there even is such a thing to you guys. Everything is considered "disgusting" and "mindless" hate to you, and this entire counterthread is proof of that. You literally opened your thread describing Greeny's points as evidence of a "disgusting" bias. Well, here I am, shoving the sources in your face. Look at them.

Oh, you'll "allow" the existence of opinions you hate, but only if you personally deem them acceptable enough? How very authoritarian gracious of you.

I have seen, with my own two eyes, someone complain that it's our fault that no one can bring up "reasonable criticism" without getting hounded anyway, as if the conclusion one ought to draw from that is Haters Suck(tm) and not that the call has always come from inside the house.

The harsh truth of the matter is this: people are not going to want to bring up any flavor of criticism around you. Ever. Especially not when you descend like a pack of hellhounds and stalk, threaten, and harass over the slightest disagreement.

People hide behind anons and have decided to confine Sonic discussion to private Discords because of the overreactions of people like you, who cannot grapple with reality and instead choose to project all that hate onto someone stating facts.

Absolute GOLD in the comments.

Does Tumblr have an Elden Ring Group Password? As I wait to find if there is one, here are some other group passwords for those interested:

“SEEKERS” — VaatiVidya

“straydmn” — r/EldenRing

“FEXTRA” — Fextralife Elden Ring Wiki

“fcb” — FightinCowboy

“Koopy” — r/TwoBestFriendsPlay

If nothing else, at least I can try to increase the sizes this way!

Perhaps my core ethos to this sideblog about asking, "why are these monsters in this dungeon?" can be summed up in an old twobestfriendsplay video where they played the Bear Grylls game on the Wii, and while being attacked by like three different kinds of wild animal all at once Matt just screams in indignation,

"WHY WOULD NATURE CONSPIRE AGAINST MAN LIKE THIS!?"

which I can hear, clear as day in the back of my head any time an RPG throws a random encounter at me where, like... a giant bug, a skeleton, and mold all attack me together in like an opposing party. I don't question why they'd want me dead, but why have they chosen to cooperate to do it???

I have to stop going to fucken r/twobestfriendsplay man i saw a post that got me so mad i unrionically considered going to watch the new avatar tjis shit isnt sustainable

[kennyswurvegurl]

There was a discussion on r/twobestfriendsplay about who Chai's equivalent to Vergil (A character from DMC that's the main rival to Dante) would be. Two stand out bits for me were:

-A violinist(classical vs rock) that can do Judgement Cuts(just look up a video of it if you don't know what that is because words can't do it justice) with their violin.

-The Vergil to Chai's Dante also being the Boneitis Guy to Chai's Philip J. Fry(watch "Future Stock" if you need additional context).

Yeah I think I saw that thread! Pretty interesting stuff.

Actually, no
