As an old-school freak that has been in the Sonic fandom since the late 90's/Early 2000's, It makes me sad to see that the Sonic fandom has been gentrified by Antis and bullies who want to santize fandom. Nowadays you can't ship Shadria,Sontails or whatever without some anti harassing you for shipping "incest" . Don't get me started on the age wank over the ages of the Sonic characters. Someone even argued that Metal Sonic, Chaos and Mephiles are "Kid- adjacent" . I blame the Sonic movies for the rise in age wank. Back in my day nobody really cared about how old the Sonic characters were. Everything was fair game back them.
