For anyone still confused: merittk has consistently mocked nonbinary and bisexual people on twitter, expecially during Pride Month. She has never gone back on any of the hateful jokes she's made. The stuff about her personal relationships is a bit hard to parse, but from what I've gathered she was part of a polycule where many people involved were scumbags who brought people in only to abuse them. I don't really know what to make of it, but I do know that I have dear friends who are nonbinary and family who are bisexual, so I think she sucks, to put it politely. I'm sure she has been a good friend to Imran Khan and many other people who are not nonbinary or bisexual, and that's made it easy for them to ignore her bigotry.
Giant Bomb would not have had her on a second time, but this website is GB in name only now. The people who made it what it was are gone. I know for a fact that nonbinary people left this community when merittk was on the first time, and having her back on after all that controversy has made it pretty clear that this website and community are not a safe place for nonbinary or bisexual people.
Thanks to GB for the years of entertainment and all the friends I made through the community, but I don't think I'll be opening this website again. Good luck with...whatever it is you guys are trying to do.
You guys were way off about Sonic. Mobius was only in the 90s Saturday morning cartoon and Archie Comics. In Sonic X it was established that Sonic and friends are from "Sonic's World," but no official name has ever been given. This has been considered game canon since Sonic X aired, but there are still humans on Sonic's planet.
Mobius, on the other hand, was actually a post-apocalyptic Earth. They fought aliens and stuff. Those comics and that 90s cartoon they were based on were the origins of Sonic's love of chili dogs as well.
