heres an example of sega not allowing sonic to be "overly emotional" by the way.
penders was also in charge of a lot of really weird narrative decisions too which ended up causing sega to crack down on how sonic was allowed to be portrayed in media. like, after sonic got cucked, sega made it a rule that he wasn't allowed to sob anymore.
