Please Go Easy On Me Btw

Please go easy on me btw 😭

Decided to join artfight for the first time ever! My profile is very much a WIP but I've got my main template done! Feel free to check it out/attack me when I finish listing my characters!

So the Kirby wiki is advertising their list of misconceptions page, which addresses a lot of widespread commonly held beliefs about the Kirby series which are all untrue. Such as "Kirby can fucking talk" and "Kirby doesn't say Poyo" ect. The Kirby wiki is very well written and researched and sourced and articulated in general and this page is a delightful headlined addition.

People have been responding to this by saying "WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR SONIC!" which is true, the problem with that being that the only Sonic wiki is Fandom slop and there isn't an independent fan wiki for Sonic like there is for Kirby. But yes, Sonic would definitely benefit from a misconceptions page. However it would not solve all the problems with misconceptions about Sonic. Because sadly, a good chunk of the perpetuated misconceptions about Sonic are not the result of ignorance, but deliberate malice. Some people are, in fact, spreading what they know to be misconceptions about Sonic ON PURPOSE out of spite.

For example, a Sonic Misconceptions page explaining that it isn't and has never been called "Mobius" in the games wouldn't cut down on people calling it "Mobius" and its inhabitants "Mobians." Because the problem is at least half the people calling it "mobius" KNOW that it ISN'T "mobius", but they insist on calling it that anyway because they hate the video games.

"Oh they don't hate the video games just because they prefer the comicsblahblahblah"

yes they do

and I'm tired of giving them the benefit of the doubt

They DON'T actually enjoy the comics at all. They JUST hate the video games.

Know how I know?

Because they are INCAPABLE of saying a SINGLE positive thing about the comics WHATSOEVER without bringing up how shit they think the games are.

If they "just" enjoyed the comics, they shouldn't have to mention the existence of the games AT ALL.

But they don't, and can't, ever JUST say what they like about the comics. They ALWAYS make snide remarks at best against the video games, if not base the entire foundation of their espoused enjoyment for the comics off of asserting how much "better" they are than the games.

So no. They do not call it Mobius because they prefer the comics.

They call it mobius because they HATE the video games.

50% of the people calling it mobius do so BECAUSE they HATE the video games

the other half have heard the lie told 1000 times and assume it to be truth.

A misconceptions page about Sonic wouldn't be an instant fix, because the fact of the matter is the enemies are inside the gates. And frankly, I fear such a page would simply become a editing war waged by people trying to exploit its existence to PERPETUATE misconceptions.

Would it be a good idea to update the official website with pictures of the colored dinos as opposed to just the pallettes?

Some people have issues telling which dinos are which with the pallettes alone, and unfortunately the only website that shows all pictures is the fandom wiki. (This is bad because fandom targets people with a ridiculous amount of ads...)

We actually don't have any colour palettes at all on our official website- but paleo.gg is a fantastic fan resource!

As for all the colour palettes, an AMAZING community member Skudde in our discord has a full sheet of all the colours on their stash!

This is potentially life saving information everyone should know.

GOOD NEWS!

Please share this so more people can see! :D  We worked really hard on this so it’d be appreciated!

* Softsub means the subtitles aren’t ‘baked in’. This means higher quality video and you can modify the subtitles if needed. You’ll need a program like VLC or Media Player Classic to view them and they may not work on phones! Hardsubs are ‘baked in’ so you can view em, anywhere, but there is a slight reduction in video quality
