"The bible was written to make a character more marketable to kids in the '90s." Is a fantastic out of context quote.

With the admission that he's never played a sonic game, I'm suddenly not convinced that BDG has ever played any of the games he's done an unraveled on, and honestly, that probably makes it better.

[@ashlynogle1279]

There's a video on the Drawfee KZbin channel feat. Brian where he reveals he hasn't actually played a Dark Souls game before. Makes it better because that collab was basically an excuse to promote the Dark Souls Bosses Unraveled lmao

[@coffeewolfproductions9113]

I think he might have played some of the games he's doing an unraveled on, but when it comes to games like Mario where he was analyzing all the main game's enemies to put into Bowser's military hierarchy there's no way he could have played all of them just for one video.

[@xanderramsdell2919]

plot twist: he's actually never played any video game ever. Any video or stream showing him playing a video game is actually footage created by someone else while BDG just says whatever comes to his mind without even looking at the video. This whole time, he's been talking about video games without actually knowing what an xbox or playstation controller even looks like.

The Bible was kind of the book that made reading a thing for people in large cities, and yet nowadays the people that are so violently adherent to it openly admit that they haven't read most of it and actively condemn their already fairly vengeful and bloodthirsty God for any time he is being benevolent, literally disagreeing with the Messiah figure of their own religion on the fact that everyone should have food and water and a house.

Brian David Gilbert uses his 3000000000000000000000000000+ IQ to talk about Sonic, use the topic of Sonic to create a religion around Sonic, and then use the religion to confess that he has never played Sonic, only to flip the tables on the morals and claim that he is more pure for never being exposed to the fake non-canon Sonics.

MadHatt3r On the contrary, Sonic is legally allowed to hunt us

[@oscarheath5507]

MadHatt3r the toxic sludge thing is something sonic was told as a child to stop him feeling bad. In reality, sonic’s dad was shot by hunters. Sonic’s parents must have met in a country with hedgehogs (England?) and then moved to the states - the gene pool is too small in the states. Sonic is a first generation immigrant who’s father was effectively killed by the hedgehog equivalent of immigration enforcement. Sonic kisses human women because he has never met another hedgehog, besides his mother.

@My Life With Lucario Pokemon Cartoon Hmmm. I wouldn't agree that it's plagiarized. I think you're referring to Cybershell's video where he reads the Sonic Bible, right? (That's what I'm assuming anyway, but please correct me if you're thinking of something more specific). Just because BDG uses the same term of "Sonic Bible" utilizes the same text doesn't mean that the rest of the video is plagiarism. I'm not sure where the term Sonic Bible came from, whether it was Cybershell or somewhere else, but BDG's video is still a unique argument and application of the Sonic Bible even if BDG isn't the first person to "unearth" the text itself.
