Oh Sonic fandom, where did we go wrong? At what point did you stop becoming a bunch of fans who all happily got along, sharing fanart, fanfiction, making friends with people despite which continuity you were into, or what characters you liked?

At what point did you turn into a magnet, attracting the absolute worst of the internet, from immature little kids, to pedophile furry perverts? At what point did all fanart drawn become absolute fangirlism and kill art? At what point did all fanfiction written become terrible romances bashing the characters the writer didn't like?

At what point did every fancharacter created become a crappy recolour, who runs faster than Sonic, is stronger than Knuckles, and had more sex appeal than all the characters in the series combined?

At what point did your characters start having sex appeal in the first place?

I'm very sorry to speak against you like this, my beloved fandom, but I'm afraid this has gone on for far too long. I can no longer tolerate it as every new character is welcomed with open arms and showered praise upon, while older characters are bashed and told off as being unofficial. I can no longer tolerate older fans clinging desperately to older series and characters, putting down anything new that comes along. I can no longer tolerate the endless amount of terrible porn scarring my mind and childhood memories every time I look through Sonic fanart...anywhere.

Please, Sonic fandom. Why do you do this? Why must we all suffer so? We just want to enjoy Sonic in peace! We don't want anymore endless debates over whether Sonic or Shadow is cooler, or whether the Games are the only official storyline. We want to be able to draw and write about characters and continuities we like, without being ridiculed by those who have decided they dislike them. We want to be able to create a fancharacter, without being accused of ripping off another persons, as well as enjoy other people's original character designs, without being let down with another terrible recolour.

Again, my fandom, I'm sorry.

But this has gone too far.

They all suck ass and I hate them with a passion. A bunch of emo fags basically. Their art fails too cause its all the same rehash shit over and over again. They are the reason I cant play sonic on the genesis cause it reminds me of their sorry asses. I would rather there be no internet than they be the only people on there I hate them so much. Glad as hell I abandoned them when my ex-friends all joined and shit thinking it was so good.

The Sonic fandom can be split into two generations: the classic (SatAM, Fleetway, Archie, pre-Adventurd games when Amy was actually not that bad, SonSal & SonMina) fans, most of whom were born between 1975 and 1986, and the modern (Adventurd and later games, SonAmy, Sonic X) fans, most of whom were born after 1990. There will be more modern fans while the classic fans will outgrow Sonic. My age puts me in the modern fans, but SonAmy is Jap-s*** and Sonic Adventurd (I can't even call it Adventure) is worse than Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing (the game where "You're Winner!") because it killed the chances of Sally Acorn ever being in the main games by spiffing up Amy to attract fans (who are raving morons). The modern fans will be the death of the fandom, as SonSal and SonMina are the only good choices for Sonic. Amy Rose is the worst fictional female character in history for her 1999 redesign for--you guessed it--Adventurd.

You've got a point.People who just entered the fandom dismiss older things from the sonic series as pieces of shit.And older fandom members dismiss newer things as pices of shit.

Because your right, but you should remember that the cause of this problem is the size of the fan base and when things get this big you get bad apples that stand out, most Sonic fans are still smart kind people.

because it's true what the owner says. I've had enough of SonAmy fanbrats hating Sally with no good reason and ruining my fandom. I've had enough of getting flamed because I like yaoi/yuri. I've had enough of seeing recolours everywhere with no originality. I've had enough of seeing opinions forced down another's throat. I'm in full agreement.
