It's about as much blood as a scraped knee. Yes he's bleeding from the eyes but I decided to be dignifying about both the meme and the children and remained honest on Sonic.exe apperance. If anything I made him appear less bloody than usual fan art made him. But it's blood coming ''out of a children's character's eyes. ''There's a difference between blood and blood coming from a recognized character. Also, in the event that kids come here, consider that they may know nothing about Sonic.exe. You may see Sonic.exe, but the people who haven't will see Sonic bleeding out of his eyes.
 * Since SNN is viewed by various age groups, having blood is inappropriate.

It is Halloween. That is entirely the point on why I had him on background. I'm not going to hold your hand for you. We're not asking for you to hold our hand, we're asking you to consider that there may be more sheepish people who come here. Haloween is may be "scary" but there is a difference between scary and potentially scarring. Heck, you can make the argument that, at least for a family friendly place, Haloween should be a little "spooky" at best. And let's be honest here, when we think of Haloween, we think of pumpkins and scarecrows, not people bleeding out of their eyes.
 * Sonic.exe is scary.
