This video proves that Penders was correct in his stance. They made him focus on Knuckles over Sonic. Then eventually brought him back, only for him to write drama ( like if it was "Betty and Veronica" ). Then switched positions. We are talking about the writing department. Penders . Then they used his material despite any contract.
Further more, I will admit. Penders did went a big too far, by clearly pushing his stance on same-sex couples. Along with "Pairing" everyone with somebody. But the flat fact remains.
Penders took Sally ( Amy ) and made her something actually redeemable. Without Penders we would never have the SatAM Animation ( story ) oppose to the M-F Cartoon ( joke after joke ).
Penders got old and ( literally got old ) pushed political agenda's inside of his written material. What was friendly and open became a problem to read. Penders did what Adventure-Time did, but he was not removed because of that. He was removed because he made the innocent nature of Sonic and turned into a "Days of Our Lives".
Penders even look like Robotnik. NOTE: He shaved his mustache.
