That sounds incredibly sonic. Someone parading around as one person and then the real person getting love while also encouraging the fake one to keep going

He opened his heart...and everyone lived and learned....

At least the story managed to have a somewhat happy ending at least

[GamerCreeper]

If only Nintendo can be like that too kind and generous 💀

I'm glad that the plagiarist genuinely felt bad and apologized and that Mega forgave them and encouraged them to continue actually drawing.

[Dannnyyyyyyu]

The ending was really wholesome I did not expect that

I remember this tragic event very vividly lol. Kevin was a and still is a very cool CM.

I feel bad for the the kid who got harassed. Imagine tacing some art cause you're still learning, submitting it on a whim, and actually winning. Probably the best and worst thing that ever happened to that child.

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE SONIC COMMUNITY EH….

[woskiz]

Different for a ton of situations im glad he felt bad for plagiarism

[Przva]

Sounds like they ruined their own life, actually. Nobody forced them to steal artwork.

[Lanoman]

How tf is that “ruining their lives” then?

[vampireslife]

this sounds like itd be a plotpoint in like, the idw comics or something

[CHANIMATES]

Jesus what a story glad things worked out in the end through

Okay? But like, that wasn’t plagiarism? They intentionally said they copied it right? Were they copying it and passing it off as their own, or copying it in an attempt to practice?
