The elephant in the room
/vr/
Sonic the Hedgehog, once a mysterious legend in the gaming world, has devolved into a laughing stock. The fandom, once passionate and dedicated, has become a caricature of itself. The obsession with shipping and memes has overshadowed the series' original charm and innovation.
The original games were masterclasses in platforming and just... SOUL. Sonic's mysterious aura and surreal sceneries captivated audiences, making him a cultural icon. However, as the series progressed, the focus shifted from gameplay to gank culture and fan service.
The fandom's toxic behavior, entitlement, and obsession with shipping have driven away new fans and tarnished the franchise's reputation. The constant bickering, pedantry, and infighting have made Sonic a joke, a symbol of cringe and desperation.
The series' creators, once visionaries, are now held hostage by a fandom that prioritizes petty squabbles over innovation. Sonic's legacy is a shadow of its former self, a cautionary tale of how a beloved franchise can be ruined by its own fans.
I want to reclaim Sonic's legacy, the original games, the passion, and the creativity that made Sonic a legend, leave the toxicity and obsession behind and rediscover the magic that once was.
