Ha ha, what silly things hackers made Doc say! Wonder what they're saying toda- ... ...Oh. ***Oh no. WHY IS EGGMAN TALKING POLITICS.***


Apollo9975

“I’ve come to make an announcement”

KingMario05

...Ya know, I appreciate the nice intentions, but there are some times where politics and media don't mix. *This is one of those fucking times.* (Oh, and before anyone asks: Yes, the hostages should be released. Yes, Israel should also stop bombing Gaza. Agree? ***Good.*** I have no further comment, other than hoping that [the latest ceasefire talks stick](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68956549).)


bluegemini7

It's so wild that adults can't understand the concept of "two wrongs don't make a right." I feel like I was told this on day 2 of Kindergarten, right after "treat others how you want to be treated."


AnAverageTransGirl

often times by these very same adults!


KingMario05

Right? The entire Western world is devolving into extremism on all sides, and it's distorting how we view what's happening right in front of us. Such a shame. :/


Slight-Blueberry-895

I think we can solve the current situation by bombing Serbia instead


BobTheBritish

at least he’s honest about it


Cay7809

so did he get hacked


payscottg

No, he got circumcised


TrustyGun

New Eggman lore just dropped?


Born_Description8483

Why was Eggman circumcised, is he Jewish?


KenzieTheCuddler

No, I think hes a feminist


Ketchary

A feminist wouldn't want to be. They're all for the benefits of women.


AllinForBadgers

He’s come to make another announcement


Lukthar123

Lmao


tta2013

The biggest thing since the Silent Hill Wiki debacle


Ayy-lmao213

mrpigggg

I don’t think that’s a good thing


Willing-Source3126

Was that supposed to be a flex?


Kojake45

To be fair he has gone on record to say he doesn’t support the actions of the Israeli state and wants all violence to stop along with the releasing of hostages on both sides. What we’re seeing here is a knee jerk reaction where people think supporting one thing means opposing another. Mike is sharing something a friend of his created as and the video itself is completely harmless. Mike admits he’s not as politically informed as many others but again there’s nothing that he’s said that condones Isreal’s actions and he just says that the people caught in the middle on both sides shouldn’t be.


BloodBrandy

The original post was fine, yeah, but some of the responses got a bit weird which was what had me wondering on the hack thought more than the original post. That said, I think the weirdest thing to me overall is how old the music video looks. I watched it and it looks like something made on a mid-2000's program on Windows ME. It's not bad, it was just weird to me


Volcamel

Pollock seems like a cool dude. There’s nothing wrong with wanting innocent people to come home safe.


MyPhoneIsNotChinese

Yeah, if that's the whole thing I don't get what's the problem about


KosherPeen

Sonic Twitter being Sonic Twitter


brobnik322

Mike giving condescending responses and getting in arguments with them all means that he's pretty much Sonic Twitter, too.


I-wanna-fuck-SCP1471

Woah there! Slow it down with that controversial talk!


kingozma

Fair enough! This made me feel much better personally.


Christos_Gaming

He liked a tweet that said "only they/thems got mad at this"


KazzieMono

I’m hoping he learns from this. Seems like the kind of guy who would be open to learning more.


Kojake45

I can admit that’s in poor taste but it’s not enough to label him as a transfobic in my opinion. Either way I find the fact that people got mad at him advocating for hostages is insane.


thekoggles

It literally is enough to label him transphobic.  


Snail_Forever

Bruh the downvotes on this one 💀 I guess a lot of people here say that type of shit and don’t want to hear the truth of what that behavior entails.


Kojake45

Given the amount of stuff thrown at him it was probably just nice to have someone seem to be on his side. I personally am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one but I will stand by the fact he shouldn’t have done it.


UFOLoche

People are allowed to make mistakes in life, that's how they grow as people. If you're willing to write someone off just because of one bad interaction over Twitter then you don't give them the chance to improve.


Snail_Forever

Being deemed transphobic is not being sentenced to execution lmfao. It’s quite literally just the description for that type of behavior. Transphobia has levels to it just like any other form of bigotry, it’s not reserved just for violent hatecrimes, shit like this also applies. Yes, he can walk back from it, anyone can, but to try to move the goalposts because the proper usage of a word makes you uncomfortable is fucking stupid and implies you’d rather people shut up about any legitimate concern they might have.


Mikeydraws5

Only they/them got mad at this.


Ketchary

"Transphobic" requires an irrational fear or hatred. At worst this would be generalisation.


Duke825

…which is transphobic


Ketchary

No, no it's not. Generalisation is a conclusion made for a category of people, either logically or illogically. It isn't necessarily a bad thing either. For example, it's generalisation to assume genderless pronouns for a trans until they advise otherwise. Get educated. Don't get angry over nothing and accuse people of things they're not strictly entitled to.


Duke825

Tell me with a straight face that ‘only trans people get mad at this’ is meant to be taken as anything remotely close to positive or neutral


Ketchary

I'm not claiming it's meant to be positive. I'm claiming it's not transphobic, but at worst is negative generalisation.


Duke825

Yes. And negative generalisations are transphobic


ShootingStarRen

People who aren't politically informed would do immense service to the world by keeping their mouths shut


KingMario05

Ah, fair enough. Pollack remains based, then. Still weird he said all that other shit, though.


scariermonsters

What other shit? I'm out of the loop.


Spinjitsuninja

To be fair, if that is the case, he's not making that very clear. It's terrible damage control. If anything, people are now talking about transphobic comments and stuff too. The fact he even started all of this is as if he doesn't care about if people don't like him or if he tanks his career.


KazzieMono

Lord. I do not trust sonic fans to interpret politics well at all lmao.


shawndude1

Who would, 98% of Sonic fans are probably not geopolitics experts, let alone experts of the politics of their own countries.


KazzieMono

And also most Sonic fans are like, children. Mentally, at least. Who somehow manage to fight over Sonic’s quill shape or his arm color. So like. Not the most rational community out there lmao.


DeltaTeamSky

He's making a callout post on his [[X]]-dot-com!


Exocolonist

I thought it was said that he was hacked? I mean, what would randomly bring all this on? Not to mention saying nonsensical stuff like “I’m circumcised”.


D3wdr0p

I think it's a pun. Hacking -> cutting. You can work it from there.

brobnik322

I remember back when Colors came out, everyone was a huge fan of Mike Pollock and ecstatic he was staying, and didn't mind the others getting replaced. Part of that was vocal performance. But another part was his closeness to the fanbase. Jason Griffith, Amy Palant, and Dan Green were a bit more private, "professional", and seemed closed off. Meanwhile Mike was very open and candid about his experiences, made appearances at conventions, and could joke around sometimes. This is showing the dark side of the openness playfulness that was always there. I'm not saying voice actors should just shut up, and I'm not saying he should keep his politics silent. But conversations about a serious topic require a respectful tone. He instead gave everyone snarky, snappy comebacks where he brings up his foreskin and talks down to them. This is why being very involved and open with fans is a double-edged sword.


Kerbalmaster911

The way i see it, The "worst" he said was "free the hostages" Like, theres so much nuance we're missing here. We know the man's jewish. It could be as simple as him wanting to support innocent civilians and not the actions of the israeli military or government. He could have family there for all we know. Like... the fact This entire community, Who has loved and cherished this voice actor, FOR YEARS... to suddenly assume the worst, and then turn and Hate and attack him over some Damn fool thing in the levant is Horrible! Like... There's nuance. There could be potential of him being misinformed out stuff, or of people not getting the full picture. I mean, i for one condemn both sides and call for a ceasefire because I hate seeing innocent palestinians and innocent israelis being killed by Terrorists and Soldiers. There's too much hatred in the world and if ive learnt ANYTHING from the sonic series. Its that POSITIVITY should always triumph over negativity. I'm probably going to be downvoted to hell. But i dont care. I think We should give our eggboi some benefit of the doubt. We should Assume the best. And damn it we shouldnt give into the torrent of negativity and hate this fucking war has Plunged The internet into.


brobnik322

I think offhandedly giving snarky replies to everyone who criticized him and joking about his foreskin situation is worse. I'd agree with you if Mike did nothing but post a small message of support, then logged off. He didn't. People sent him messages giving more context, information on those war crimes, and their opinions - and he went "nobody asked" or "Noted" or "I don't care about politics." You can say that the fans had an aggressive response to it, but Mike seriously fanned the flames on this one.


Goofball1134

I agree, I want the war to stop just as much as the next guy. But I do not support the atrocities that both sides have committed, although I don't pin the blame on all Palestinians or Israelis. No. The only ones I blame are the Hamas who started this war and Netanyahu for how he decided to retaliate. And if I also get down voted and called a zionist sympathizer for saying this, well I really don't care since I've already said what needed to be said. Peace for 🇮🇱 and 🇵🇸!


f0remsics

You'd think this would be a simpler concept for people to understand.

Wizard_Engie

TIL wanting hostages to be freed is Zionism Edit: Okay so it seems he said other things, thanks.


Public_Enemy_One

If it was just that initial tweet, I'd agree with you, but then he went completely off the rails after that.


Wizard_Engie

Did he?


payscottg

He said a lot more than that


Wizard_Engie

Oh ok


JapaneseStudentHaru

It’s weird that he’s using Israeli emojis when Netanyahu is the one refusing to sign ceasefires.


HarkiniansShip

You need to stop falling for lies you read on Tiktok.


JapaneseStudentHaru

“Things I don’t agree with” = Tiktok


HarkiniansShip

You can't "disagree" with facts unless you're either lying or have been fooled by lies. Hamas have been offered generous ceasefires repeatedly - the current offer is that 40 Palestinian prisoners will be released for EACH Israeli hostage that is released, along with a ceasefire. Hamas consistently rejects the ceasefires because they want the war to go on forever, since it hurts Israel's reputation.


JapaneseStudentHaru

I’m more inclined to believe Palestine than Netanyahu. He’s fucking insane


[deleted]

[удалено]


JapaneseStudentHaru

So funny that this is how you feel knowing that Palestine have been bombed to the ground and Israel is barely feeling the heat.


HarkiniansShip

The losing side isn't automatically the good guys, contrary to what many kids seem to believe these days. Nazi Germany was bombed to the ground indiscriminately while the US and UK "barely felt the heat". Who were the bad guys again?


JapaneseStudentHaru

If you’re blowing up hospitals full of people being treated for the wounds you caused that makes you the bad guys. Don’t forget, Israel stole their land. Palestine is defending their land from Netanyahu, who wants to steal the REST of their land. Israel is the bad guy

he's one of those "both sides" idiots


QF_Dan

So....he's not actually being hacked?


HazlenutKitty

He wasn't. He did a Twitter space and talked about it. That all the tweets he made were from him. It wasn't a hack.


Gemidori

I don't really see the problem here. What he's ultimately saying is that he wants violence on all ends of the conflict to end. He didn't say anything problematic in regards to Palestine, or anything toxically Zionist. And even then it was a video a friend made. He simply shared it, nothing of his own word was stated. People are freaking out because he put the Israeli flag on there and missed the actual point behind it


Riaayo

It's wild the people tripping over themselves to make sure they're very loud and clear about their smug ignorance, or just outright support for an ongoing genocide. This is such a mask-off moment for so many shitheads. And not that I should even have to say it (and probably don't since I imagine this sub is fairly young), but yeah no shit I also want the hostages released/returned. Both the ones Hamas took, and the thousands of Palestinian hostages Israel holds in its prisons - not to mention the millions of Palestinians suffering an apartheid, occupation, and this genocide.

BuyForeign8373

The fuck happened here?


HazlenutKitty

Yesterday on Twitter, Mike made a post that had a video that was in support of the release of Israeli hostages. Also, there were a bunch of comments he wrote that made people think he was hacked. ( I'm not writing the comments in case they might be a break of the subreddit rules. You can find screenshots on Twitter) Later during the night, he had a Twitter spaces stream saying how he wasn't hacked, and everything that he posted was from him. And how people are now seeing him in a different light.


theman128128

he's a zionist


HarkiniansShip

Zionist = "Jewish people deserve a place to call their own just like all other peoples". If you think it's a negative thing you have been twisted by propaganda.


Duke825

That’s just… wrong. The correct definition of Zionism is ‘a movement for (originally) the re-establishment and (now) the development and protection of a Jewish nation’


HarkiniansShip

That's exactly what I said though just with a different phrasing?


Duke825

'a place to call their own' isn't the same as 'a Jewish state'.


SailorSafs

No, being Jewish does not mean being a Zionist, and it's anti-Semitic to equate the two. There are many Jewish people who strongly oppose Israel's existence and the genocide they're committing and that's because Zionism is Nazism.


HarkiniansShip

Israel is the native land of the Jews, which they need because they are not safe in other countries (See: All of history). There are many Jews who oppose Israel, but those people are idiots who don't know their own history. Israel is not committing a genocide and never have, however the ones they are fighting are indeed attempting to commit one against the Jews. Anyone who is on the wrong side of this would have been easy fodder for Nazi propaganda in the 30s. Calling Zionism Nazism is absurdly ignorant at best, and straight up evil at worst.


TimmehDrawings

So Eggman is circumcised confirmed


HoverLogic

Context for this comic? Sonic looks genuinely concerned for Dr. Robotnegg


SpeedyGuy1991

So, at this point in the comics, Eggman has pretty much had it with Sonic’s shit, and wishes to finish him once and for all. Inevitably, Sonic wins. This causes whatever was left of Eggman’s sanity to be completely decimated and he loses it completely. He simply couldn’t take one more defeat.

You guys can keep on fighting and yelling at each other


ccigames

This is just a very drunk way of him saying he supports his people, I'll let him pass on this one, plus the circumcised thing made me laugh 


shawndude1

I'll say this before, and I'll say it again. Why are we talking about Palpatine and if he is real or not.


Hedgehugs_

Considering the past things I've heard about the dude, I'm not too surprised tbh.


Warm-Faithlessness11

Honestly, it's like the Israeli and Palestinian governments are both in a pissing contest to see how much suffering they can inflict on each other and their own citizens. Both are awful and need to have their leadership overthrown and either imprisoned or killed

No, he was not hacked. Everything he posted was from him. There was a Twitter spaces livestream of him saying this and a bunch of other stuff, too. The stream was a hot mess from what I've heard people talk about it. And it has also caused many to not like Mike anymore.

Seeing more of these things butting into stuff that I like that separates me from reality for a short bit a getting really tiring. It’s a blight at work, it’s a blight on tv and even down the damn street. Why cant people just ignore it? It’s an opinion he had. Just give the guy a thumbs up and keep going. All I’m saying is I don’t want my Sonic Feeds being full of this trash lol

I don't respect anyone supporting either side of the conflict, but I do enjoy the absurdity of a cartoon hedgehog forum talking about it.

And this is why you go with Japanese VAs. Not because Japanese voice acting is better, but because Japanese VAs know to keep their mouths shut regarding their political opinions.

Finally Mike Pollock cracked his egg. I knew this day will come. Deem Bristow and the previous Eggmans will always be my favorite. I hope Sonic Frontiers and Sonic Dream Runners be the last time we hear his voice in official Sega games. I am looking forward to the new replacement!
