Nah, I agree with you. My love for Sonic died in the same era as Nintendo (Essentially everything after Black Knight with the exception of Generations and especially SASRT). I only brought it up because it what snowballed me into trying out more SEGA shit which lead me to other devs like Treasure, Capcom, etc. Got me to play more arcade games, racing games, which got me into shmups, then kusoge, shitty jrpgs, etc.
I'm not gonna say you're wrong for assuming I have shit taste in games, but it's because I get a lot of enjoyment from random doujin/indie garbage, or weird obscure Japanese trash. I love it to death and I feel like it's because of the Sonic-faggotry that I can tolerate this shit because it comes off as very passionate and with intent. I find myself in the retro-sphere because of this, and the only time I branch out is with indies. Anything else just feels way too "average" for me. I feel like I dislike mundane/average things more than I dislike "bad" things since they're boring more than anything.
I guess that doesn't really make me a fan of anything, but I do like to give Sonic the credit for making me want to branch out in the first place.
