[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog - Various Issues, General Spoiler Warning if you aren& #39;t up-to-date with the series]

"Whisper handles things better when she& #39;s taking orders."

Yeah? *drops this panel off of Whisper& #39;s fucking debut* Oh, shit, it& #39;s your argument falling apart, oh fuck,
[IDW Sonic Spoilers]

In all seriousness though, throughout the comic series we& #39;re shown that—while Whisper works well in teams—she& #39;s perfectly capable of taking initiative in hostile situations, even giving orders herself!

In fact, she has on multiple occasions RESISTED orders!
[IDW Sonic Spoilers]

Whisper has two berserk buttons - "my friends are in danger, I will do EVERYTHING to save them" & "my friends are dead. I will KILL whoever is responsible."

Her greatest grudge, as the comic shows us repeatedly, is against Eggman, who she nearly shoots dead
[IDW Sonic Spoilers]

She ONLY acquiesces to Cream& #39;s plea to NOT shoot Eggman dead right then & #39;cause there was a CHANCE he might be able to help save the victims of the Zombot virus.

MOMENTS before Eggman appears, she has to be talked down from kicking the Babylon Rogues& #39; asses.
[IDW Sonic Spoilers]

So why the living FUCK would Whisper NOT take the shot she had to be talked down from ON THE CONDITION it would save Tangle & the others?

He is LITERALLY displaying himself RIGHT OUT THERE for anyone in the audience who may have a sniper wispon.

This wasn& #39;t a case of too many writers with conflicting ideas of the characters mucking things up.

Ian Flynn, the writer who has written EVERY APPEARANCE of Whisper—who& #39;s had a monopoly on her voice since her conception—was the SOLE writer in all of this.
[IDW Sonic Spoilers]

All this to say...

Fuck y& #39;all my joke tweet was REALLY FUNNY and rightly took aim at the obviously misogynistic framing of that scene.

Anyway I enjoyed reading most of these Whisper appearances for the research to make this thread.

Thanks for reading. <3 https://twitter.com/FloralRoyal/status/1308550492377800705">https://twitter.com/FloralRoy...
