Yesterday made me want to quit making Sonic customs. It was a bad day on the subreddit. A scalper was rightfully banned and that should have been the end of it. But a mob mentality took over in the community giving us a really bad look to new users. On the just cringey end we had people trying to organize task forces and creating logos for that "team" to brigade posts. On the evil end of things we had users straight up telling the scalper to do harm to himself. And so much of this was getting upvoted that it seemed the whole community was in on it.
It disgusted me. It made me want to quit. And I said as much today on my Discord - that I'd be taking a break from Sonic customs.
But one brave user made a post dissenting from that overreaction, and it really opened the floodgates for reasonable voices to be heard. At the same time as I was ranting about it on my Discord, a poll ended saying what my users looked forward to next from me and these things together filled me with a lot of positivity. So as a thanks for that, I'm going to make the character that won the poll, Gemerl! I'm also going to whip up a new wisp!
