[@JumboJumper]

I have often wonder how Sonic, of all things, consistently attracts the most eccentric and devoted individuals who practically worship him like a literal god? How did this happen and why is it so consistent?

[@knoxiegb1782]

My guess is that it's a mix between consistent and prolonged exposure during childhood and being a bland marketable brand with relatable characters. People have obsessed over other video games too, like that one story on those guys roleplaying as FF characters, but that brand doesn't have nearly the exposure that Sonic has

[@pablocasas5906]

​@@knoxiegb1782 it still makes me wonder why Sonic's fandom, the weird part at least, is so much visible compared to others. As for the character, I think it's easy to see how it resonates well with the public at large, I think it's valid to compare Sonic with his former arch-rival, Mario. Mario, in many ways, beats Sonic in terms of quality for the games, game sales in general and his movie has outgrossed both Sonic's movies combined, but I don't think people are obsessed with Mario as they do with Sonic. Some would argue it's because Mario hasn't a lot of personality in his main games, perhaps it's the fact Sonic is more of a escapist character compared to Mario

[@Sorrelhas]

In my opinion, franchises aimed at kids always attract the biggest degenerates (look at MLP, Minecraft, Pokemon, etc), and Sonic has a lot of intersection with the furry fandom as well I also think that although Sonic is for kids, it has a lot of edge (from Adventure all the way to Unleashed) with some of it's plot points and characterizations, so a lot of kids that for whatever reason (religious parents, or ingrained religious beliefs, maybe trouble developing) can't enjoy anime, certain games and movies, may latch on to Sonic to get that fix during their teenage years

[@puppiekit]

I dont know how to best describe it, but I think kids media just attracts a very specific type of adult. you have the "I like this because its cute, enjoyable, entertaining" type of adults, of course... but then you have the "I am 30 but I have the mentality of a 10 year old, but like a really weird hypersexual 10 year old" fans, who cling to kids media entirely because it is, well, childish enough for them to enjoy. These people dont flock to adult media as frequently because theres more mature themes, lessons, realistic depictions of everyday realities. Do you think a 30 year old (with the mentality of a literal toddler) would rather obsess over a show with realistic depictions of everyday life, drama and struggles and death, or do you think they would rather obsess over a silly cartoon that reinforces the fairytale rainbow sparkles reality they wish so badly to exist in?

[@anubis7457]

Well, they grew up with it and probably were watching it during the time they were hitting puberty….

[@mrmagnamalo7864]

It seems to primarily be hormones hitting and then using this Also part of it is if enough people try to make something seem a certain way other people will begin to think of it the same way eventually

[@TheMbmdcrew]

The simple reason for this is because franchises that are kid-friendly but can still be enjoyed by anyone have mass-market appeal. No matter how popular an R-rated movie or adult-oriented TV show can get, they still can’t be marketed to families, and will be therefore limited in the time slots they can play during, the places they can advertise, and the merchandise they can make. This limits their ability to be recognized and picked up by new watchers. So while it’s still possible for something that’s “for adults only” to become a pop-cultural icon, it’s a MASSIVE uphill climb. Thus, most of the most popular media franchises in the world are things that are suitable for kids. The correlation here isn’t between kid-friendliness and porn- you don’t see much porn of Sesame Street or Paw Patrol- but between _popularity_ and porn. Popular franchises will have more porn made of them than unpopular franchises because a larger portion of the population is going to recognize these characters, broadening the pool of those who may be attracted to them.

The only two people (with large numbers of viewers) I’ve seen actually address Paul's crimes are BlackBusterCritic and JUST A ROBOT (Sonic93 doesn’t count since her video bringing him up was taken down along with her entire channel), and even then a lot of people in their comment sections were more concerned about the state of the Sonic fandom itself than the fact that real CHILDREN were harmed in a way that will scar them for life. It’s so sickening and downright selfish. All I have to say is THANK YOU for bringing awareness to it. Because the fact that people dropped the situation so easily actually makes my blood boil, especially since I have NEVER forgotten about this case since I first heard about it. It's THAT bad.

[@oranjaglad8648]

@@scrim2518 I guess the proper term isn't "milk", but just not forgetting it happened. It's especially concerning when everyone still focused on trolling Chris-Chan and whatnot, even when this happened (granted, Chris would go on to... hurt their mother, but this was way before that).

[@cultreader9751]

I think the reason for people's obsessiveness within the Sonic fandom is actually a byproduct of the gameplay, which rewards both replayability and memorization to a much greater degree than with other series. To get to the golden paths, you have to play the game quickly. To play the game quickly, you have to know the mechanics well. To get to know the mechanics well, you have to play the game often. At least with the Genesis games. 3D Sonic was much more about optimizing a single straight path, which also rewards knowledge and repeat playthroughs, but in a very different way (you normally have to memorize level layout rather than mechanic synchronization) This type of game design isn't bad, it rewards skill and encourages being thorough, but it likely plays a role in why... certain people are drawn to Sonic.

[@roostergaming3373]

Man, this takes me back when Mutahar and his friends did a reading on this a couple of years ago. That was the first time I heard about Sonic Passion and was kind of a gateway for me for absolutely insane the Sonic Fanbase was. I can't believe how much time has passed since then. Also, that Paul guy had a Deviantart page back in the day that also had some cringey stuff like how him and Amy had three children along with a baby that was due soon, he also had this shitty Tetris clone but with Amy plastered on to it. I also got in touch with a person who was in contact with him back in the day. The person claimed that he was also obsessed with Zelda and was in a relationship with her and would bring it up with people all the time. He also tried sending them Zelda Rule34 when she was underaged too. Yeah, this guy was an absolute nutcase and I hope he never sees the light of day.

Dear god what a throwback this is. I literally remember back in like 07 I would watch youtube ranters and this website and the creator would come up all the time, that was back in the encyclopedia dramatica days (pre kiwi farms for people that don't know what that is) I remember her and Paul both having their own youtube pages and I even interacted with them, shame none of that stuff got archived cause this is definitely a gold mine of insanity. Paul also had his own type of Sonic Passion website. But you know...being in prison, nobody is paying the hosting fees so it's long gone as well, but his youtube page (no videos), his deviantart, and photobucket are still up for people that are interested. As for the creator herself. Let me tell you, that website was definitely not ironic. I can believe some of the whole AI thing but no, she was crazy. Honestly it's interesting she doesn't want associated with this to the point of cease and desist strikes, considering she was very open how she wanted tons of attention and a desire to being super famous (she literally sold clocks with her face on them back then) She had a really big ego and stuff too and called herself a goddess and would make youtube videos speaking Japanese (even though she's french I believe) and just show off Sonic stuff and I think surgery stuff. She disappeared for a long time, I didn't know she was back in public again. Man great video, this took down an old internet trip.

If I were to formulate an answer as to why Sonic in particular is the stand out example for weirdos is because people tend to talk about the big names that got a bad rep like Chris and MTP for more than _just_ their Sonic stuff, which leads to people finding more weirdos as a result. As to why something like this doesn't happen as much as to say, Mario or Pokémon, is probably because of the sheer size of their own fanbases, which makes it a bit harder to peg down the odd ones. Sonic, while it does have a big fanbase in its own right, is nothing compared the size of what I just mentioned. But I also certainly don't doubt that sites akin to Sonic Passion exist for those series, you just gotta know where they are. Anywho, great video as per usual, my man. I always appreciate your mindset with this kind of stuff, where yea, these people are strange, but as long as they don't do anything seriously wrong, then giving 'em hell ain't warranted. Save it for the real degenerates that should be in prison, like Paul. I wish that view was more common back then, but eh, that's hindsight for ya, I suppose.

The last time I heard of Sonic Passion (if you're really curious it was from a video by Blackbustercritic), she went by Alex Henriol.

This is at its very core, the Streisand effect.

I remember reading about this site back in like 2007. I'm pretty sure the creator posted using her full real name, so she used to have no qualms with tying the site to herself. Understandable that she would want to distance herself in retrospect. I think the ban against "polygamy" was because they were so obsessed with these characters, they thought people having multiple Sonic spouses would "cheapen" their own love. I don't think they really objected to it on moral grounds, considering most Sonic characters are underage. Some people had Sonic characters as whole imaginary friends they would describe sharing their bed with.
