I was just rewatching movie 16 and was reminded how much Newtwo liked to fly and randomly thought of her attempts to fly into space, it would definitely be something her mentor would have told her to do XD
Thanks for this 😊 I learned a lot thanks to your post
I’ve seen some post comparing Ian Flynn to Ken Penders, and that’s so insulting and out of touch, look if you don’t like Flynn’s work that’s understandable but comparing him to Penders, is too much, Ken wrote a lot wayy worse things but overall, outside of writing he’s generally a bad person, Has a huge ego and willing to insult those he worked with to make himself look better, calling himself the Savior of the Sonic series
has insulted Ben Hurst, despite the man having passed and unable to defend himself
and also insulted Yuji Uekawa’s art
and last not forget, his rampant art theft lack of respect towards cosplayers
The time where he tried to semi-defend why he wanted an adult character to have sex with Sally (a minor!)in the comic and defended that in some states 13 year old girls are at the age of consent that is creepy red flags everywhere
oh and let’s not forget his acephobia he blocked and/or ignored people who were trying to explain what their asexuality is about
oh yeah he also stated on his twitter that he wants to go into the NFT business. SO. yEAH.
So yes, my dislike from Penders does not come from his bad cringy writing, my dislike from Penders comes from how he treats people and his inflating ego, if you dislike people just because of their bad writing, then were not the same, someone lacking talent isn’t a crime or makes them an bad person. In general it tires me out that most people who seem to speak out against Ken Penders is all about how they miss Scouge, and how Ken killed the Archie series’’’ instead of mentioning that he’s such a scummy person, I think the way he treats people is a way worse thing then ending a comic book story or being unable to see some cartoon characters again, and that should be more important in general.
