  • So Eggman's voice actor, Mike Pollock, got into some trouble and we don't know if he'll be in the next mainline game or project. He hosted a twitter space to talk with fans, which I clipped and included here.

    Mike actually made an official response
    On Friday, the 3rd of May, 2024, I, a lifelong secular Jew, received an unsolicited music video from my friend Heshy Walfish, via another friend, known professionally as Country Yossi, both fellow Jews, who asked me to share it to boost its exposure. Both gentlemen are well known among the local religious Jewish community for their amusing and educational songs and song parodies, as well as a call-in radio quiz show. I tend toward the secular, less religious side of things, but when I stumbled upon the show years ago, it made me laugh, so I got permission to turn it into a public podcast in its final years. Although largely retired, when the muse strikes them to write a parody, they do (I used to write song parodies professionally, and I sometimes do again, too). This video was a lyrical adaptation of "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables," from the musical Les Misérables, which tells of drinking buddies who no longer gather at a tavern because they became casualties of war. With a little re-working, Heshy turned it into a plea for the safe return of the Israeli Hostages, accompanied by understandably graphic images of the after-effects of the ongoing war.
    While I usually shy away from hot-button political issues on X, formerly known as Twitter, it happened that at the recently completed Passover holiday, which tells the story of ancient Jews exiting slavery in Egypt, many families adapted the traditional rituals and readings to honor the modern day hostages. Add to that the current protests on college campuses, including my son's where protesters clashed with Jewish students, the song moved me to lift my silence and post it on social media, along with a brief message of support, and accompanying hashtag and emojis. I realized this was risky, but I naïvely hoped that cooler heads would prevail for a largely humanitarian endeavor. Although many people have observed that the initial message could have been construed as fairly innocuous to a large number of readers, you can guess what happened next.
    Within seconds, replies of "Free Palestine" were coming fast and furious. And when the going gets tough, I get snarky, because comedy is my first line of defense. Always has been. My knee-jerk reaction (which I double-standardly chastise others for, I now recognize in hindsight) was to double-down on being Jewish, since I had read articles by various Jewish support organizations about the underlying antisemitism of some slogans associated with the movement, although the bulk of the posts to which I replied did not overtly share anti-semitic statements. I'm sorry I claimed that they did. At that moment of a deluge of replies, I wasn't able to articulate my support for the innocent people rather than the warring governments. If I had a do-over, I'd do better. But now there is this statement, instead.
    Let me go on the record and state that most of my replies were the wrong choice here. My initial responses, wielding self-deprecating ethnic stereotypes and references to ritual circumcision, sounded better in my head than they looked on the screen. They provided ample hater-fodder and led many to the erroneous notion that I was hacked. I also engaged in some uncalled-for personal attacks. I'm sorry I didn't choose more considerate words, and take things seriously, and I wish I could dispose of those via a time machine, because that does not accurately reflect my feelings, nor the gravity of the matter. I should have definitely handled that better. I'm extremely sorry I did not.
    Then came the inevitable questions about my thoughts on every aspect of the current conflict, and in the heat of the moments of trying to respond to everyone simultaneously, I couldn't think those answers through properly. Now, with a blank document in front of me and the luxury of time, I can. We started to address these in the X Space I hosted, but my X app started to crash, likely because my phone was overdue for a reboot, so I gave up at 12:30 am, planning to go to bed and re-address things in the morning. Instead I'm responding here rather than in another Space so I can give the issues some proper thought:
    I am not now, nor have I ever been, a Zionist in the political sense of the term, often associated with colonialism and genocide. I'm against that. I can endorse the traditional sense of the word, which is Jews having a homeland to call their own. Every group, including Palestinians, should have some kind of safe haven, but I don't know how to solve that problem with the current feuding that's continuing, or where those safe spaces can be. That's why neither entity involved has asked me for ideas. For that they need an expert.
    As for the conflict throughout history, including the current war, I don't have any thoughts, suggestions or any support for either government involved. Again, that's why they never call me. You shouldn't be surprised if a Jew is at least slightly biased towards Israel, since that's where all our Biblical history took place, and that bias was reflected in me sharing the hostage-supporting song I did, but rest assured, as for the overall conflict, my actual concern extends to the Palestinian civilians, in equal measure, as well. I don't support either side's violence and killing. All the civilians (I have cousins in Israel) on both sides should live safely and not know from fear. All hostages should come home, sooner rather than later. I'm sorry I didn't mention the Palestinian prisoners in a follow-up post initially, so I'm correcting that error by mentioning them here. The folks in charge should keep those prisoner/hostage swaps going so more people get released.
    The two sides should put down their weapons, negotiate peacefully and figure out some resolution to their disagreements so that Israelis and Palestinians alike can live freely and equally. Not specifying that earlier was insensitive to my Palestinian supporters, and all the innocents in Palestine, and I’m sorry I screwed that up. Now I’ll know better.
    I'll repeat, I don't know what that resolution might be. I'm not a military commander. But I hope there are Foreign Relations experts who can fix this situation.
    And while we're making statements, despite claims to the contrary, I can confirm my support for all human rights, including, but not limited to, race, religion, gender, or nationality. Everyone should have the right to exist. If anyone questions that, you can refer them back here, and to my previous online debunking.
    As for any fallout with work, there's been some already. I hope there's some room for tolerance somewhere in the audience.
    We'll see what my future on Social Media can be, but as of now, I think I've said enough.
    Further edits to this screed may be made, as necessary.

    Mike expressing his opinion is completely within his right to do so. Most of the questions for him were from goofy kids anyway. I'm personally waiting for the war over there to end. I hope the world goes back to normal soon. As for his Eggman voice in Sonic, I hope he doesn't get fired over it. He really should be careful about his words, but at the same time i don't think he said anything particularly offensive. He expressed he was political and that he was Jewish so me not being Jewish I don't really have any say so other than i just want people to be free and not killing each other. Same goes for what's going on in Ukraine and Russia. Kind of strange that we talk about it on a Sonic channel, not like it's gonna convince any politicians. It'll just end up as clickbait. If he were on the news, he might be able to reach more people. It's kind of like the protests on college campuses that happened a few days ago. It didn't really solve anything. Again I really hope things get better for everyone's sake.

    This whole situation is a stain on the community in my opinion. He only posted a song calling for the Israeli hostages to be returned. The community gave him a horrible response for no reason and he got understandably defensive (given he's a Jew and lost family on Oct. 7).
    He gave a bad response, but the original tweet is the least offensive Ireal-palestine tweet of all time. The reaction was ridiculous.
    Edit: My god Jaden, in the 'SUPER INSANE PART' he literally says, "Folks who have become collateral damage in a conflict, they didn't ask to be hostages. Maybe they should be let go. Same for the Palestinian hostages, don't know them haven't seen their video. But, hostages in any conflict didn't ask to be hostages." That clip starts at 23:30, IN YOUR SUPER INSANE PART.

Those are the one not understanding that Hamas attack took years of evolution and peace to the ground. Those are the one that don't understand that we NEED a two states solution, and that having one of the people erased from the map is asking for a genocide. Those are the people that doesn't understand that Hamas is a terrorist organization and that the Palestinians living in Gaza are suffering because of them. And those are the people that doesn't understand that if the hostages were released, we might be closer to a cess-fire.

As soon as you talk about anything related to the genocide currently occuring in gaza Where over 30,000 palestinians have been blown up, half of which were children, you open the floodgates to a very heavy and serious topic. "Free the the hostages" is certainly not a wrong thing to say but there is plenty of context that peoeple are missing. Including all the palestinian hostages that they want to bargain for. Or the fact that Israel in it's brutality has killed many of their own hostages by constantly bombing the area. There are protests in Israel against the government right now because of this.

    I remember a video of the Sonic Boom cast doing a fan Q&A panel at (I think) a gaming convention. I remember feeling like some of Mr. Pollock's answers had an unnecessarily dry or snarky tone to them, considering most of the fans asking questions seemed to be teens or children. I think someone asked the cast something like "What would your respective character think of their Mario counterparts?" And Pollock seemed uncomfortable and didn't want to "put words in his character's mouth because that's the writer's job(s)." It now seems so strange to me that he seemed so afraid to make up a non-consequential opinion for Eggman about Bowser, but he seems to have no issue with everything he's shared on this real-world topic.

      It's not hard to be against genocide. It's actually one of the easiest positions to ever take. Saying you don't care about Palestinian hostages (over 8,000 held without trial, 300 of which are children) in Israeli prisons and subjected to torture and rape, and only care about the Israeli hostages is messed up. The israeli hostages suffer because Israel is starving the entire population in the Gaza Strip and bombing almost every single house. You can say "war bad" but it's incredibly ignorant to want Palestinians to not fight when they're the ones being constantly slaughtered and oppressed by Israel. Israel shouldn't even be there, it's not their land. Palestinians were driven from their homes in 1948 by militant Zionists who slaughtered thousands of them.

    She admits he acknowledges them in this very call… Self contradiction.
    Then she said he made distasteful hostage jokes. Younger individuals were making memes when they actually thought WW3 was about to start in 2020. Literally any criticism got a response and a fake ass excuse that they just joke about shit to cope with the situation. Total BS.
    He doesn’t have to worry about SEGA’s image. He didn’t say anything that jeopardizes it.
    If you’re concerned about his position at SEGA because people might find the inoffensive thing he said as offensive, it’s high time we started backing the “people get offended and entitled too easily these days” sentiment a little harder mayhaps.

    I'm not seeing the insane part honestly if this video is to go off of. All I saw for the majority of this was fans seeming more worried about that Sega might kick him to the curb over what he said, over what was actually said. 2/3s of the callers shown here ended seeming to agree with him by the end. "I guess that makes sense". The first caller pretty much got Mike Pollock to say what he should of just said in the first place. the next two were more concerned about Sega replacing him."i haven't really followed the war", yet you still felt compelled to call in for this? Your priorities are weird. The 4th and most insane part apparently, I think Mike Pollock Owned up to it just fine. It seems he made the right call by doing these questions in his video to clear up the confusion. The second of the two parter was probably the only caller that tried to really challenge him on this in my opinion, and maybe a 2-3 years ago yeah this would of been career suicide for the jokes part but she came off as threatening at the end. "You kind of do represent Sega though". I'm sorry lady, Dr. Robotnik is not responsible for teaching your kids life lessons, you are.
