The "Lady"Lunanova MtF Sonic mod made me realize that there's been a lot of troons swarming the Sonic franchise recently.
Mike Pollock got cancelled on Twitter because he got into an argument with a tranny named DewEnjoyer/ Juno / RobotGirlFucker :
Some Britbong faggot made a video whining about Mike getting snippy with dipshit fans on Twitter (this was before the current salvo in the Israel-Palestine war started), DewEnjoyer subtweeted Mike because he's had a hateboner for him since he initially came out in support of Israel.


People told the stupid tranny to shut up and stop being a stupid tranny, so of course, being an attention whoring tranny, he directly @'ed Mike Pollock which got him to make a sarcastic reply, which he later deleted:

Mike is a lolcow in his own right given how easily he starts to sperg out about how Jewish he is and how much he loves Israel, but he made a crucial mistake in this interaction: he gave a tranny a reason to cry victim.

which got #recastEggman and #FireMikePollock trending for a few days:
He took his original tweet down and replaced it with a different one without the snark, which got the troon more upset:
There's a nonzero chance that all the whining reached Sega HQ (considering the fact that most of Sonic's official western staff is terminally online), so he might be replaced:




But that's still not enough for the tranny, he's still so incensed that every day since Mike made his tweet, he's made sure to hold that grudge:

People aren't even allowed to express how much they like Pollock's voice acting (Mike is indeed a very talented actor) without him descending down upon them and sending hate.
Note for later, I'll try and see if I can clip Mike's original 2024 spergout over Israel and Palestine, unfortunately the space didn't get archived with icons.
One of the IDW comic artists, GigiD got into some hot water for drawing Sonic and Shadow's movie equivalents with FtM breast removal surgery scars.


(many such examples in the qrts)
Movie Sonic is 13 years old, the youngest version of Sonic and is the only version of Sonic that actually acts his age, which makes this creepier than it already is.
GigiD or Gigi Dutreix, despite having they/them pronouns, was born a natal woman.

She trooned out after her husband unfortunately passed away, and has been on the gender bullshit grind for the last two years.

Not knocking her on her grief. The way she started dealing with it though...

Since then she's gone hardcore into shoving gay shit into as much Sonic related content as she can, she even started the hashtag #TransThursday to encourage more people to draw ragebait art of trooned out Sonic characters.





Mind you, she has made no effort to androgynize herself and, unlike her art, still has her breast tissue fully intact.
She hasn't written on the main Sonic IDW comic book, but she has written for some of the specials and annual issues.

The two characters in the image on the left are Tangle and Whisper, two characters who aren't gay (Tangle was meant as a non-romantic replacement for Sonic's original love interest, Sally Acorn, and Whisper had a moment with Silver in her first issue), but they retroactively got shipped by the crew on the comics in order to pander to the fans.
They aren't gay, but the IDW team (Evan Stanley, I think) somehow managed to find a way to get a canonical gay couple into the comics regardless via one of the specials:

Nite the Owl and Don the Rooster (a literal cock). Of course, they haven't kissed or done anything explicitly romantic in the comics because I'm 99% sure Sega would have an aneurism before walking into that kind of PR quagmire but that hasn't stopped the comics team from getting as close as possible to hinting at their relationship in the most 2010s Cartoon Network way possible:


Nite using "my dear" when referring to Don, them holding hands in the corner of a crowded cover, etc.
They also snuck in a cameo of Bobby Shroeder aka Ponett / PonettPlus/ ThanksKenPenders's fursona:


(notice how both commissioned pieces above show his dog oc with a massive bulge?)
"Ponett" is a transgender furfag who developed "Super Lesbian Animal RPG", a game where his trans self-insert creeps on other furfag lesbians:


I'm not necessarily a Sonic "fan" as in "fanatic", I've enjoyed a few of the games casually and I owned a Dreamcast back in the day. The split between Japanese and American Sonic doesn't matter to me as much as it does for some people... but I'd definitely hope Sega starts vetting the people around their franchise more directly if they're going to have the majority of the non-video game operation run by Americans.
Western creatives in just about any field, animation, comic, and especially video games are becoming increasingly more and more terminally online, leading to shit like this.
