Description Yep. One of the worst, if not THE worst fandom out there. None other than the Sonic fandom. There are so many reasons as to why the Sonic fandom is garbage. 

Recolours

A lot of fans recolour Sonic characters and claim they're original characters. They're clearly recolours, so they're unoriginal.


"SAWNIK SHOOD LOOK MOAR LIKE A REAL HEDGEHOG, HAV BLACK EYES, AND DE WAGGIN FINGUH!"

Some Sonic fans stand up to a certain Sonic fanboy who shan't be named, who always complain about this. They complain that Sonic's been redesigned in Sonic Adventure. Redesigning a character will not affect their personalities in any way. As long as they still have that character.


"Sonic seems to be the only IP Sega owns!"

There is more to Sega than just Sonic. What about Vectorman? Ristar? Alex Kidd (One who came before Sonic)? They deserve attention too. 


"Some Sonic characters don't look like the animals they're supposed to be!"

This is one of the least controversial conversations. People saying "Knuckles looks nothing like an echidna", "Rouge looks nothing like a bat" (at least she has wings and large ears!), "Sticks looks nothing like a badger". 

I will counter these complaints with this; The designers don't always design the characters exactly like the animals they're supposed to be. Other franchises have characters who look nothing like the animals they're supposed to be.


SonicxAmy is best ship ever!

A similar problem to the Pokémon fandom, and Amourshipping. Many SonicxAmy shippers support the pairing like it's the best thing in the world, and many start shipping wars with those who ship Sonic with either Sally Acorn, Blaze the Pokémon, etc. 


And here's the complaint that takes the cake, the most recent; 

"SAWNIK'S DISIGN IN DA SAWNIK MOOVEE LOOKS HORRABULL!!!"

Yep, people are complaining about Sonic's design in his upcoming movie, saying he looks nothing like his game counterpart. Not all movies are going to have characters look exactly like their game counterparts. And get this! Many fans were sending death threats to Paramount, the producers of the movie, that Sonic looks awful! Thanks to these perfectionists, the movie had to be pushed back! 

So yeah. These are some reasons the Sonic fandom is bad. If you can think of more reasons as to why the Sonic fandom is terrible, let me know.

Sonic the Hedgehog belongs to Sega.

Hey! Traditional fan artist who’s getting into Sonic here!
I usually lean towards the modern side of things, so I would definitely be annoyed if people complained about that.

And it's weird that I'm in the fandom.

Sometimes the fans are just a bit annoying, some of them always think as Sonic as their boyfriend even though he's not even real at all.

ikr. can you add sonic fandom's reasons to this sonic despised his fandoms such as "sonic adventure 2 is better than sonic 06", "sonamy is better than sonelise" "sonamy is better than chris x helen" "sonic and amy must kill chris and elise" etc?

AlexanderGantt In reply to ArthurEngine [2019-12-15 15:05:13 +0000 UTC]

It's just that...

I don't think the OCs are bad unless they insert themselves into the main cast or is a mary sue or IS just a recolor of Sonic or anyone else with nothing that makes it different (Tuffs of Hair don't count in my book)

I haven't seen people complain about Sonic's Current Design as much recently. But I do from time to time.

As a Sonic fan, I'd love to try out some of SEGA's other IPs. And I'm sure others would want to too! 

I can't think of a time where anyone complained about them not looking like the animals they're based on

I've seen Sonic be shipped with other people... even tails... But I personally don't ship Sonic with anyone, Never saw him as the dating type. He's not the kind of guy to stay in one place for too long XD


Literally EVERYONE was complaining, not just sonic fans. My Grandma NEVER played sonic but she STILL said that looks nothing like him!

I'm not saying you're wrong, I just think you may have exaggerated a little bit please don't be mad at me )=

LordOfEdge14 [2019-09-14 22:45:57 +0000 UTC]

I honestly agree with all of this. And this coming from a huge Sonic fan.
While I have met some of the good people of the fandom, more than half the people seem to think that EVERYTHING they say about it is correct and no one can say otherwise.

I love Sonic and all the related characters, let me just clarufy that. Being a fan has helped me push through some rough stuff and feel better about myself.
However, the fandom gets VERY toxic.

I do have ships that I enjoy within the franchise, but a lot of shippers are RABID. Whether they're saying their OTP is "the one and only pairing that anyone can ever enjoy" or "Ew that ship is terrible and you're awful for liking it", there are so many fanbrats and toxic haters.

Sending death threats to a company because of a character redesign created for a movie? WHAT?? Like, I'll say, I reaaaallllyyy don't like the design, but those people could get in BIG trouble for that.

And slightly more something I have noticed personally, but Shadow fangirls, (most of them anyway) are literally the scariest people ever. I am a Shadow "Fangirl", but I'm not insane, like sheesh. They seem to think they rule the world, while I feel, sometimes, like I'm like that even though I'm not. In fact, I have my own rewrite of the character that I enjoy more than what the canon has become these days. (SEGA Ain't doing fabulous with quite a few of the characters these days.)

I could go on and on and on about this. Even as a Sonic fan, I try to ferret out the last few good parts of the fandom and stay there. Because everywhere else is awful.
(Don't kill me anyone, I swear I'm one of the good guys-)

ArthurEngine In reply to LordOfEdge14 [2019-09-15 01:35:50 +0000 UTC]

Exactly my point about the fandom. 

First people send death threats to Masahiro for not making Waluigi playable in Smash Brothers, then this happens. People sending death threats to Paramount because of Sonic's design, and now, Game Freak are getting death threats because of the National Pokédex! Whatever next?  

Yeah, not all of the fandom are rabid. I will give it that

I'm just fortunate to have found some of the few people left who are actually rational people about it. I know there's a lot wrong with the fandom, but I do my best to avoid those things and people.

PurpleLunaStars10 [2019-09-14 14:15:08 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it is. Thank god, I'm not into Sonic anymore. But I still like Knuckles and some things.

Another reason why it's bad?

- People make wars just because they preffer Classic Sonic or Modern or Boom Sonic.

- People make wars just because they hates the games others likes.

- Fanbrats like PaulAndAmy, ChrisChan, SonicTeam765, TrueLoveHeart94 and many more.


The good thing about these wars in internet?
I grab popcorn to stalk the comments of the fanbrats and have fun laughing at them. My most favorite to stalk the drama is SonicTeam765. His comments are very funny.


EDIT: What? They even send death threats to the Sonic Movie Creators? Oh my god. I dislike the design, but I woudn't never do that.
