Yeah I think people can't fap to Sonic because now he wears a scarf and that kills their boners or something.

I looked up a picture of his redesign, and he doesn't look any different to me.

A neckbeard's boner is a fragile thing, no?

I think that since every single Sonic fan is profoundly autistic they're probably tuned in to Sonic details we can't even perceive.

Speaking of, it sounds like they deliberately designed this character to be HFA. And also a hobbit.

Well, here's something:

The ratio of his legs to overall body length has gone up slightly. His legs used to account for 15.5% of his height, but now they account for 27.9%.

How could Sega do such a thing???

Oh hell, I'm not even a huge Sonic fan and I could tell that he's significantly lankier.

Am I autistic now?

But wouldn't lankiness be a *good* thing? How many Olympic runners do you know that are short and fat? None. Successful runners tend to be slim and have very long legs; it's basic physiology. Sonic is supposed to be the fastest runner in the world - it's his ONLY real characteristic, unless you count being edgy. So isn't this the right change to make?

A factor of 2, you say! The Day of Retribution draws ever nearer......

They made him tall, so now he looks more like a teenager, rather than a plump baby hedgehog, which is tragic for the fapping needs of the furry pedophile fan-base.

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO FANTASIZE ABOUT GETTING THEIR PRICKS PRICKED BY BLUE PRICKS NOW SEGA YOU EVIL MONSTERS YOU!?!

Come on, man. No children are going to play this game.
