What I'm not okay is saying this feat is proof of conceptual manipulation. Existence ereasure is not automaticly concept manipulation
Nah you’re wrong, erasing concepts is Conceptual Manipulation, specifically Concept Destruction.

Though you do bring up some legitimate concerns, I’ll update Sonic’s profile to explain his abilities in detail to make the specific applications of his Conceptual Manipulation clear.
My example with BC is that there we are given a proper way to deal with it. We are shown on page, with no other WoG statements, that things are being affected on a conceptual level, and we are even given direct confermation that they don't phisicly exists in our reality, which only gives more proof of the metaphysical state of these structures. In comparason, Sonic's feat is "he ereased some things from existence" which comes from an outside source and it does not make mention of conceptual manipulation or anything similar (As I think I pretty clearly explained, in my opinion when Ian is saying "dropped as a concept" he simply mean it on a storytelling level, he is not implying actual conceptual ereasing from our characters)
  1. It coming solely from WoG isn’t an issue unless there’s something contradicting it.
  2. The story or author does not have to say “this character has Conceptual Manipulation!” for them to quantify for the ability. If you affect, manipulate, or destroy a concept you have the ability.
  3. Your “it’s just from a storytelling perspective” argument has been countered 100 times now so I’m just gonna ignore that from now on.
 
I mean if that was the case, why didn't Ian Flynn say this? Because maybe I'm blind as a bat here when it to comes to interpretation, but Ian is literally saying, and I quote, "But Super Genesis Wave, the purge, yadda yadda yadda - "Chaos Force" doesn't exist in the comic anymore" which I don't get why that's suppose to mean he got rid of it on a storytelling level when it's clear that he's saying that the SGW purged it out of the new continuity. Also again, even if it's not true how do you respond to him saying this answer to a question where he states that the SGW also affected and removed other Pre Genesis concepts like Maginary World, No Zone, Marvel Knock Off Zone, Sol Zone, etc?
Not to purposefully derail this already derailed thread but I really don't see any other interpretation from Flynn other then the Wave erased the Chaos Force conceptually out of the new continuity
