While your passion for the games is noted, perhaps you are misinterpreting Mr. Slashy's intentions.

It is not that he dislikes the games, but rather that he feels secondary media can sometimes offer interesting perspectives
Masquerading as a "gamefag" when one is a "secondary fan" is indeed unforgivable, but are you certain that is the case here? It seems more likely that Mr. Slashy simply believes that even a show like Sonic X, which I personally find to have questionable writing, might have moments or ideas worth considering.

This is not without precedent. One must remember the actual history of how close western characters like Ms. Sally Acorn were to being recurring members of the game cast. Their appearances in titles like Sonic Spinball show that the line between game canon and secondary media has not always been so rigid. The failure of projects like Sonic 16 and Sonic X-treme is what prevented this, not a fundamental flaw in the concept itself.

Mr. Sonic the Hedgehog is like the wind. He is an embodiment of freedom. This means he inspires many different people in many different ways.
To demand that everyone must be a "Sonic fan" in precisely the same way you are seems rather antithetical to the character's entire philosophy.
The games themselves are not perfect and have had many inconsistencies in their own right, so to treat them as the only valid source of discussion is shortsighted.

Perhaps instead of judging Mr. Slashy so harshly, you should consider that his perspective, while different from your own, comes from a place of enjoying the franchise as a whole. Considering not just media you'd decry as 'secondary', but the games as well.
