What do you hate about the fandom?

61 posts in this topic

The FANS, mostly.

There is nothing wrong with the Sonic the Hedgehog series itself
(Yeah, It has it's flaws. but, what series doesn't?)

Some fans are good fans. Open-Minded, Diverse. and stick with Sonic, even through the worst of times.

OTHERS, however. can take things far too seriously.
And only end up making a bad situation worse.

I mean, Sonic '06, Sonic the Werehog, Sonic Boom.
The most annoying thing about those aspects of Sonic is how much "fans" complain about it.

Can't I just enjoy the thing I love without getting tangled up into some kind of "World War III"?!

Apparently... Nope. You can't. It's the world of internet...

 

I also have seen a LOT of "fanart" about (fat) Sonic characters? What's up with that? They seem to serve no purpose what so ever, and yet they continue to pop up on the internet. WHERE did they come from? and WHY? (It's close enough in annoyance as is Sonic fanart considering rule 34# Which I also do not like seeing pop up on my Computer when I try to find a good model picture.

@Shinomi-chan It seems like there is "fat-art" of everthing, so it's not just Sonic fandom stuff only. In fact, I think it's a parody fetish.

(Well, to be more precise, I HOPE it's a parody fetish...)

I think anther problem (and one I've been noticing in the fandom), is that there seems to be a large amount of drama. My pal Yarcaz told me that it's always been this way, but it seems I"m just noticing it right now.

Well, this topic is full of drama, so I guess that's not wrong at all... :P

I'm talking more the type of topic that makes its way on main stream social sites and is spread across the fandom.

The cringe others have associated with the fandom. Being in the fandom, I know there is far more than what other people poke fun at...But as of late it seems the only thing people associate with the Sonic Fandom is the cringey side. Which tends to make me feel bad more often than not when it comes up in conversations I have with others. It's hard to openly enjoy the series as much when people mock and stereotype the fanbase. Even if I know they don't mean any harm... :\

(Excuse me while I edit this several times because im half awake and 90% sure im miscommunicating my thoughts.)

Probably we, as "sane" Sonic fans should "spread the message" and make our closest people realise that being a Sonic fan is not cringy. 

I mean, I love the Sonic series, my friends know it, and they see no problem with that. There's only one guy I have met at university that seemed a little concerned about it, but now we laugh at those prejuges he used to have.

Honestly, while Sonic fans have a rep about being the 'worst fans ever' I don't think that's true.

Now...

Back when the internet and internet fandom was first coming into force, it was true.  But other fandoms have caught up.  In essence, the Sonic fandom was the first 'bad internet' fandom, and as such will always be regarded as the worst.

I can say that of all of the fandoms that I am a part of (Sonic, object shows, Warrior Cats and Vocaloid) the Sonic fans are BY FAR the nicest. Most Sonic fans will have a rational conversation with you, and you can make some interesting points. Yes, there are bad fans, but I would much rather spend time in the Sonic fandom than most others. :)
