I'm not a hardcore windfag but there's nothing wrong with Sonic's "proper" characterization in X, 06, Black Knight, Secret Rings, Sonic Channel, the Hirono manga and BoC. He's inspirational but also annoying, sly, goofy, afraid of water, etc. He is a real character but hardcore windfags are very autistic and make him out to be a one dimensional god and that turns some people off. Sonic should be talked about like Goku and Bugs Bunny rather than a vague idea.
