Uh... k.

Well yes, some fans and their discussions can get a bit heated, but Sonic fans really arn't as bad as you think.

Those outside the fandom who critisize, often think Sonic is a dead franchise and that we blindly adore terrible games. We don't believe Sonic is a dead franchise as it is both pretty popular and it#s upcoming games like Sonic Mania and Project SOnic 2017 look bad@$$.

But yes, there have been terrible Sonic games such as Shadow, Sonic '06 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. Most fans often excuse Sega for these terrible games, (Except for Shadows game where they were trying to be edgy) but most Sonic fans know a terrible Sonic game when they've played one.

Granted some Sonic fans like the bad games but usually for personal taste than just because it's Sonic.

It's like how you say you don't have a southern accent, people pressume Texas is full of rustic farms, cattle and sterotyping texans as cowboys and so when really just regular people with standard english accents and regular lives and homes. Granted perhaps some rustic western areas for tourism or traditions but you get what I mean.
