THE SONIC FANDOM

OKAY, I really need to get this off my mind....

The Sonic the Hedgehog Fandom is a very big one. I mean it's HUGE, brimming with all sorts of creations and jizz. And by "creations" I mean OC's aka "original characters". I use the word "original" very lightly right now, because in the two years I've been here, there has NOT been much originality....

EXAMPLE ONE......Many of us fans, have at least five(lol jk)characters. Some have them related to one another, some friends with another, enemies, all those kind of relationships. My pet peeve is.....how fancharacters have "serious" relationships with canon characters, the characters made by Sega themselves. Now, if you have a background story to how all your OC's met Sonic & Co., then that's great! In fact, it is much preferred, because you know, IT MAKES SENSE. But if your OC is "the wife of Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow OMG" then you need to GTFO. This a big problem amongst us fan kids. How the hell is your character "BFF" with everyone on the Sega roster!? How did they have kids with a canon character when everyone is underage!? Really, I want to know....

EXAMPLE TWO, this one should be everyone's favorite. Let's say Lucy likes the Sonic Franchise a lot. LIKE A WHOLE LOT. So, little Lucy decides to make a character, cause everyone else is, amirite? THIS is what Lucy comes up with:

"well my oc is Stacy Jones and shes like part hedgehog, part falcon, part pony, and part dolphin Stacy was orphaned and had like a horrible childhood till she met Sonic and they dated but broke up but got back together also shes the host of like 6 different demons who make her hurt her friends and kill people but they understand its not her fault she can go super just by thinking about!!"

......Yeah, I think there's OC's worse than that but you get the picture, yes? Now, the question is, WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN!?!? What possesses people to make crap like that? REALLY NOW! And just because I know someone's gonna say "You have a character that's a hybrid and has a demon too!!" YES I DO, but he sure had some thought into his character unlike some others! I could list some characters right now, but I'm not; I'm going to protect "the innocent". At least until they prove just how stupid they really are. And you know what, demons/daemons/multiple personality disorderz are no longer creative. EVERYONE'S USED IT AT LEAST TEN TIMES. Plus, I think the manga Naruto started the whole concept, so it's even more fail than ever before. Also, hybrid combinations are becoming increasingly ridiculous. The whole idea of hybrids breaks so many laws of biology, I don't even the capacity to try and name some. I fear my head may implode from trying.

EXAMPLE THREE, why, oh why, why, WHY, are there so many recolors? Rouge recolors, Tails recolors, hell, EGGMAN RECOLORS. How did that happen, idk. BUT, it's scary and annoying. If you're goning to be taken seriously, at least think of a character design that's not a hedgehog, or part of one. Once again some will say "But SG, YOU HAVE A HEDGEHOG!!!" LIKE OMG I DO!! And I admit, he is not the greatest thing on the planet, but at least he's not from some forbidden kingdom or space or the ocean. AND he's not fracking neon green or some crap. He's just there, plain, simple, LIKABLE. And to clear my name moar, I has another character!! WHO'S AN ANIMAL THAT'S NOT A HEDGEHOG. In fact, no one probabaly knows what the fawck she is, but that's cool. As long as she's somewhat creative and not drowned in 20 different colors that clash like a bad rave, then I may be sparred from hell...

Well, every good thing must end, and this paragraph is that end of this essay-RANT-hate crime-blog. You may be offended. You may be BAWWWW-ing. You might even be spamming my page on how jealous I am of you and your "originality". Well whoop-dee-friggin-doo for you! Go ahead, do you're worst. I know where I stand. And I hope to god that you have learned something or become an hero due to me and my words. For great justice...
