User blog comment:The Pop Cult Gamer/More False Information on Sonic due to Archie fans/@comment-1669199-20130810214314

1) As many have pointed out, what you're hearing is most likely just some Archie Fanboys/Fan Haters spreading rumors around for the sole purpose of getting a rise out of the other portions of the Sonic fandom, while undoubtedly going about it in the most snobbish, mean-spirited manner possible due to over-inflated egos and having their Nolstalgia Goggles screwed onto their faces too tight. While this kind of behavior is indeed detestable, it is quite a common occurance not just in the Sonic fandom but countless other fandoms in general. I would personally enjoy being a part of a lot of fandoms I'm indirectly accociated with were it not for the fact that a lot of people take a lot of things way too freaking seriously -- to the point where even things like Pac-Man could be turned into a religious symbol of sorts for gamers & non-gamers alike, although no-one, with their precious self-righteousness, will ever admit to acting in such a similiar matter with people who fancy talking about that kind of stuff, along with politics in general. Not that I have a problem with religion, mind you -- I'm a religious man myself -- but when something I like gets such reverence that if I speak one thing that does not fit within the same basis of reality as many another fan (say, I like a character that another person does not, or an episode, a game, whatever), and all it usually does is make me enemies who'd probably love to either educate me or force cleaning supplies found under the sink down my throat just for having a different opinion, it does get annoying rather quickly and it makes me wonder if the human race is becoming more self-centered, short-sighted and insane as our toys grow more sophisticated with time.

At any rate, since this kind of behavior is typical for a fandom, especially this one, you shouldn't let it get to you so much -- its not like a bunch of Archie fans are going around beating up non-Archie fans IRL or anything. Although I highly doubt such behavior would ever exceed more than just a handful of sociopaths (who were already messed up to begin with -- I'm looking at you, media-that-loves-blamming-games-for-all-of-society's-problems), I think that would truly warrant some serious outrage. Anyway...
