I see potential for the "Australian Guy" tag.

I think the best way to save sonic is to round up all the fans and developers and put them in camps.

This is sad

How can someone with such good data and researching skills, nevertheless so completely misunderstand the Sonic community? His redesign has Blarms, for Chrissakes!

Also, can we please stop using "IP" to describe a franchise and/or corporate mascot? It's socially harmful language, not to semantically incorrect, in that it implicitly concedes the philosophically untenable contention that "ideas" can ever rightfully be "property" (which is, I suspect, the main reason why sources within the industry and journalism community have been pushing such terminology in recent years).

Stars for you.


Juice Eggs McKenna - 2015-06-22

Also "creative" to mean "advertising". Fuck you advertising.


Aelric - 2015-06-21

I'm sure I will get mocked for this question, but I'm really clueless about how this Sonic shit got so out of hand and fanficy. Anyone willing to give me an abridged history of how the game wot goes fast turned into the goddamn trainwreck of human garbage it's become?


infinite zest - 2015-06-21

I think it was what happens when you hit the ground running like Sonic did, sorry for the pun, and then lose momentum and fall into an invisible black hole, again sorry for the pun. Evilhomer can probably explain it better than me, but back in the 90s you saw Sonic everywhere and just because their franchise sucks now it doesn't mean people are gonna give it up because they made the conscious decision to choose and identify with it instead of Bubsy Gex or Klonoa. They identified with that branding the way some people actually hashtag #howdoyousonic because they identify with the two guys in the commercials.

Archie Comics published a Sonic the Hedgehog comic for many a year between Sonic's 16-bit heyday and the Second Coming of Spiky Blue Jesus on the Dreamcast. Said comic was based on one of the Sonic cartoons that aired way backinnaday, and very likely responsible for a specifically dysfunctional subset of my generation leaping down a rabbit hole and never coming back.


Aelric - 2015-06-21

I know these parts, I recall the 90's and the Sega/Nintendo mascot rivalry. I also had the first issue of that Archie sonic comic because it came as a bonus with my subscription to the TMNT comic they published. I guess I could have got some fanboy to pay top dollar for that these days. But that comis, at least in it's first episode, seemed like some barely there Duck Tales plot, not something that would become it's own sexual disorder.

Is it just the crossover with furries that made Sonic so fucked? I'm really not talking about the games but rather the cultural what the fuckery that sonic has become.


fluffy - 2015-06-21

There are many, many, many many furries whose entire involvement with the fandom is via Sonic the Hedgehog stuff.

I don't get it either.


SolRo - 2015-06-22

I think it's just furries found a popular mascot they could relate to.


Boomer The Dog - 2015-06-23

I have a Furry buddy who seems to be into nothing but Sonic adventures, Tails and the other characters. He was into Sonic long before knowing about Furries, so when he got on line, the Furry scene clicked for him. One can't underestimate his love for Sonic, as it has been for several decades now.

On the other topic, changing the gender on my alter (Chris Chan) Sonichu Form HAS a good reason: the REAL Me is of Female Soul and Identity; my self-character MATCHES AND HAS TO MATCH, and like those removable clip-on wings, the transformation changes along as well.
There is NO Reason or Justification WHATSOEVER in Sonic the Hedgehog's Arm Colour!


Sexy Duck Cop - 2015-06-21

notice the usage of her majesty's spelling on the word "colour." tan-colored sonic would be proud to take a lift on down to tge lorry station, but not after depositing his rubbish from the football game in the bin, why not.


Sexy Duck Cop - 2015-06-21

Do you know who Likes me? These Women Like Me! I was at the Boom Boom Burlesque Show Friday Night, and Zhora Nova was quite taken with my audience support and participation. On stage, I acted a drown quite well. I applied naraja lip balm with vaginal outlines. And I flexed muscles and booty. Not only was I awarded a couple of blow pops, but I also won the raffle, complete with a Trophy and a Tiara, among other most valuable prizes. And Kisses and hugs were shared with great delight.

And I also made more women friends, as well as met with a couple of other recent women friends once again as well.

Thank You All, Ladies, for a Most Fabulous And Fun Night, and for becoming my new friends too!


EvilHomer - 2015-06-21

I'm really glad he's coming out of shell. He seems genuinely happy, and for the first time since he got on the internet, the people he's hanging out with (probably) aren't plotting to hurt him.


Sexy Duck Cop - 2015-06-21

He's not, EH. A big flurry of private correspondences came out lately, and it's just him doing the same shit, only in a neon disco pansexual bazaar.

Which sounds better than his room, but....it's not.


EvilHomer - 2015-06-21

See my second post below, nested below your following comment. *He's* doing the same old shit, but the same old shit is not being done *to him*. That's my point. He's looking for love, and failing, but he's happier than he's been in years, and the people showing an interest in Chris are apparently not affiliated with his network of gangstalkers. That is most definitely better than his room, in nearly every way imaginable (the possible exception being from the perspective of his new lesbian gal pals, who if history is any guide will tire of him soon)

This is how Chris should be. In the wild, in his natural element, hunting freely on his own terms.


Sexy Duck Cop - 2015-06-21

Chris: Don't forget, we were over a 97% Q&A match in over a thousand on OKCupid.

Me (Some girl Chris-Chan met in real life that's actually cool being friends with him, and god bless her for it): Lol, Chris, an online dating site doesn't mean all that much!

Chris: It means a LOT!

Me: It's not like it means people are destined to be together, it's just common interests and stuff. That's all.

Chris: Possibly sounding crazy, but I will Not Lose You, Catie Heart!

Me: We're still friends though, I thought you were okay with that. I just don't want to be in a relationship with you.

(Two hours later.)

Chris: I am feeling sad and upset.

EMAIL, LATER THAT EVENING:

"Thanks a lump

I am seriously feeling like since "not in a relationship" was said about five PM, I was dangling at the end of a rope. And afterwards, slowly falling into a fiery depth, my heart melting and drifting back into sadness, much like the melting Lego pieces in that fire last January. Now, I am at the ice cold bottom, and the melted heart is now a depressed hard lump of melted loss in being dumped.

I feel like I should not speak with you for a while; I am depressed and my heart aches bad. You lack appreciation for the hard work and effort I had put into US!!!

Stay Safe,

I am as depressed as a melted lego in january.

Well, yes, the Love Quest is still a lost cause. Look, my point is, he's at worst back to the halcyon days of Megan, pre-ED.

The Friendzone is the hardest zone.

Stars for you SDC


fluffy - 2015-06-21

Ignoring all the Chris-Chan drama, this guy has some very good points. I'm not sold on his character design but everything else he says is spot-on.

So, I wonder why he'd do this really detailed, amazing pitch reel to Sega instead of just designing a new game with all these principles, because hell yeah I'd play that.

It does seem like it's a good time to make a 2D platformer. This year we've got Ori and the Blind Forest, Mighty no. 9, and Bloodstained will soon be on the way.


Sexy Duck Cop - 2015-06-21

So would you describe him as a melting Lego observed by King Henry Tudor VII in January, then?

Sexy Duck Cop - 2015-06-21

That comment was meant for Evil Homer. It probably didn't go through because a long-dead English monarch used an iphone for additional safety.
