[American Comics] Creator’s Pets, Possible Fraud, and a Turtle: The One Sonic Character that Nobody Liked

I have a larger post brewing, a follow-up to my first Bionicle writeup, but the actual drama is taking a long time to conclude, and inspiration hit me. So, I decided to hammer this out while sleep-deprived and post it before I pass out.

I'm gonna be a bit more irreverent than my usual style, largely because this is A) Less a fandom eating itself and more a fandom hating a character the creators loved, until those creators left and an actual fan got the reins, with predictable results, and B) involving a large amount of Ken Penders, and I refuse to take him seriously.

Alright let's just lose it.

Sonic the Hedgehog is an incredibly fractious series. It always has been, from the earliest days of the series. Back in 1991, SEGA of Japan, SEGA of America, and SEGA Europe all came up with their own lore for the blue hedgehog and put that in the manuals for the games. This wasn’t an uncommon practice for games in the time before animated cutscenes and voice-acting, the most famous example probably being “Mario and Luigi are from Brooklyn and got sucked into the Mushroom Kingdom through a pipe” from the US, versus the Japanese lore where he’s just always been there. I think. I’m not a Mario expert.

Sonic, however, made this worse by creating increasing numbers of permutations of the regional lore. For example, in Japan, he might’ve been basically the same character we know and love(?) from today’s games… or he might also have been the superhero-style alter-ego of a nerdy school kid.

Meanwhile, in Europe, he… okay I’mma level, the EU and UK stuff really doesn’t matter all that much. Our only real contribution to Sonic Lore is that crazy evil Super Sonic with the swirly eyes, though admittedly that is the best version of an

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Rédaction sur Simone Veil

Bonsoir, étant donné qu'il n'existe aucun subreddit fait pour les devoirs / travaux scolaires, je me permets de vous partager ma rédaction sur la vie de Simone Veil. Elle n'est pas très longue, mais j'ai essayé de faire mon mieux pour faire rentrer le plus d'information et détails en si peu de mots. Merci.

Simone Veil, née Simone Jacob le 1er juillet 1927 à Nice, et décédée le 30 juin 2017, était une femme d’État et activiste féministe française.

Née dans une famille juive athéiste d’origine lorraine, elle est déportée pendant la Shoah en 1943 à Auschwitz, où elle perdra son père, sa mère et son frère. Elle marriera Antoine Veil trois ans plus tard et, après des années d’études en droit et sciences politiques, elle entrera dans la magistrature au poste de haut fonctionnaire.

Dès l’arrivée de Valéry Giscard d’Estaing à la présidence de la République en 1974, à la suite du décès de Georges Pompidou, elle est nommée ministre de la Santé dans le gouvernement Jacques Chirac. Elle devint la deuxième femme à devenir ministre. Elle présentera quelques mois plus tard au parlement, devant 577 députés, un projet de loi tout nouveau sur l’interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG), qui dépénalise l’avortement. Le texte de loi est adopté le 29 novembre 1974 et entrera en vigueur deux mois plus tard. Ce texte sera appelé à partir de 1979 la “Loi Veil”. Simone Veil participa activement dans différents projets de loi, tels que la mise en place d’aides financières à destination des mères d’enfants en bas âge, ou encore la loi française de la lutte contre le tabagisme, qui, entre autres, inderdira de fumer dans certains lieux publics ou privés, qui restreindra certaines publicités, et qui affichera des avertissements sanitaires sur les paquets de cigarettes et cigares. Elle gardera ce poste pendant 5 ans, et repartira en vedette aux yeux des français. Elle reviendra en 1993 dans la vie ministérielle et sera nommée ministre d’Etat, ministre des Affaires Sociales, de la Santé et de la Ville au sein du gouvernement Balladur. Cependant, elle ne restera que deux ans à son poste, et n’aura pas prise une place aussi importante que lors de son premier mandat de ministre.

A la demande du président Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, elle conduit en 1979 la liste Union pour la Démocratie Française (UDF), et, est élue au troisième tour présidente du Parlement Européen. Même si le parlement Européen n’avait à l’époque que peu de pouvoir, Simone Veil lui donna une visibilité phare dans

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
