  • Technically his name is Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik, but the name Robotnik is so rarely used (The last time a Sonic game even mentioned it beyond occasionally name dropping Mean Bean Machine was the first Sonic Riders game and that was only in text descriptions) that it might as well not exist.

    Even in the comics which normally are allowed more leeway than the games, even characters who it would make more sense to call him Robotnik than Eggman (Like anyone in the Classic Era timeline, Fang especially… or Dr. Starline in the Modern Timeline who worships the ground Robotnik walks on), the name Eggman is exclusively used.

    The only media that treats Robotnik as his name and Eggman as a nickname is the movie, the same movie that wanted to call Sonic’s World Mobius, but Sega wasn’t having that. (Sega’s a xenophobic company that fought hard to take away Sega of America’s creative freedom and they’re not about to let the name Mobius or the Freedom Fighters sneak in the back door… to such an extreme that Mobius has to be called “Sonic’s World” according to Sega Mandates)

    I know, I’m not saying I support the Republicans, but the Democrats don’t actively want me dead so I reluctantly support them. However, I do ask people acknowledge the difference between Leftists and Liberals.

    And the issue is that their attempt at being less racist, resulted in the erasure of black people… which is in and of itself more racist than the logo ever was.

    The best part about Sonic Hedgehog is that it actually has a cure, and that cure was called Robotnik

    (What they used to call Eggman back in the day for all you youngin’s that don’t get it… He’ll always be Robotnik to me, I"m sorry the name Eggman is just terrible, sounds like a character in a PSA trying to tell me about healthy breakfast choices with his wife Bacon Woman)

    This, the woman behind Aunt Jemima has a pretty progressive history as well. This just reaks of the usual problems we get from Liberal Virtue Signalling. Creating something incredibly offensive in a poor attempt to be less offensive.

    Remember when Cartoon Network discontinued Speedy Gonzales because white people called the character racist, only to reinstate him when Latino and Hispanic watchers were like “Where’s the only Looney Tune that represents us in anyway?”
