And does anyone have any idea what he's talking about when he says the Disney/Pixar film Inside Out 2 is a "Spiritual Licensee" to the Web Comic Scary Go Round?
Looked it up. Both stories share some themes, so the trope could feasibly apply. Otherwise, they are unrelated in terms of characters or any other shared concepts beyond some thematic elements.
Hmm. In an edit still in the queue he offhandedly declares that Inside Out is explicitly an adaptation of Scary Go Round. I did an admittedly brief search for any authoritative source confirming this and found none -- just a couple things on fandom wikis here and there where it seems to be a point of faith that it just is. I'm thinking this is someone trying to pass his headcanon off as reality -- not as bad as the "Krypto the runt" freak, but the same kind of thing.
We promised him that his next ban would be permanent. Does anybody think that this is worth a ban? (It might be a case of taking unsourced statements at face value, or it might be something that somebody's trying to spread.)
Okay, it's one thing to claim they are similar due to themes, and quite another to just make up facts based on headcanon. My take is a flat rejection of this, with a warning any further screwups means they get booted for good.
