This is Sonic we're talking abot Caricon, a character that's supposed to be "the image of cool." And what people consider to be "cool" is highly subjective, and Sonic is one of those series that likes to try new things. And lets not forget the fact that the fanbase is a heavily devided, rage-inducing mess. You do one thing in Sonic that could be considered "uncool" by someone, sane or insane, then they'll throw a huge fit as though thousands of people suddenly start screaming as though they just underwent some kind of mass hypnosis of sorts, then those who can actually be fair and reasonable in their judgements and/or like the new things SEGA tries with Sonic (like me) will have no choice but to endure the repeating, inevitable nightmares that these mindless sheep cause and be accused of being "fanboys who support S***** Sonic games", among countless other things. And lets not forget that people prefer more mature stuff than the kid-oriented things that Sonic presents.
