I go on Ponychan and openly stated how simular our fandom is to bronies we are.

And I still stand by what I said. I do notice a similarity of whenever a villain dies, both fandoms want to believe they survived and come up with reasons for it. For MLP, there was Chrysalis and Sombra, even after the latter's death was confirmed. A pegasister who happens to work at IDW even made a comic where Chrysalis survived her fall over a mountain and returns.

For Sonic? Let's face it, has anyone here so much as accepted the almost-certain probability that Black Doom, Mephiles, Iblis, the Ifrit, Dark Gaia, Metal Sonic, and the Deadly Six are dead? Everyone pounces on little things like Black Doom saying he was immortal, Professor Pickle's line about balance of light and dark, Mephiles's presence in the Archie comics (which are not canon to the games), the ability to challenge Metal Sonic to rematches, and Eggman saying he'll control the Zeti again. At least for Eggman Nega, we never saw him die so they could always have him return by having someone break him out of the Ifrit's dimension somehow. The only main villain deaths anyone can accept are Master Core: ABIS and Captain Whisker.

I don't know much about the rest of the Sonic fandom but I hope it's generally as kind and accepting as bronies
