It's a question that's stymied the great thinkers of our time, so don't worry about it too much. Maybe someday our children, or our children's children will find the answer.

Literally autism. Same reason why MLP is so popular. >color coded characters, the color makes their personality easy to understand (autists have trouble with understanding people) >very expressive characters (autists also have trouble with reading expressions) >animal characters are generally liked by autists since they aren't humans, and humans are too complex and remind them of real life >in case of Sonic: "cool" music, generally cool and aloof attitude that they wish they had instead of being spaghetti lords >autists love going FAST (many like to spin, for example) I could think of some other things but that's basically it. It's just an autism magnet.

It's a furry franchise as popular as Mario with a lot of colorful characters with distinct personalities. This brings out a shit ton of degenerates and awakens a shit load of fetishes. It doesnt help that Rouge is also a character.
Luke Bennett
The bright colors and round shape of the characters attract children and autists. To make it even better, Sonic's played as a "cool" character, making the audience like him even more. And I'm guessing that the social ineptitude and recluse gives rise to bizarre fetishes as an outlet for their sexual frustration, even if they don't recognize it as so.
Jayden Bailey
I bet there's r34 of Knuckles' four-headed echidna penis somehwere too. The Sonic fanbase is full of degenerates.
Pokemon fans are literally 10x worse, they just fly under the radar cause Pokemon is more accepted by normies
Eli Wright
Rouge is baby tier shit. It’s a furry character. That’s been a thing since forever in cartoons but when you start liking shit like that ONE tails comic then you should just end it all
Joseph Collins
I know what you mean but they really went above and beyond with Rouge's introduction in SA2, to the point where they gave her boob physics. In a kids game.
Leo Murphy
FPBP. furries are disgusting scum. anyone whose drawn an image like in the OP either owns, or aspires to own, a fursuit. the sonic movie design that everyone hates was probably made that way to deliberately make him less fuckable to these people
I guess its because it was a series about anthro animals which autists are attracted to. It having an anime Is the main source of autism because it was on TV, meaning it was easily consumable. kys sonic fag.
Pokemon definitely has it's fair share of furfags, you have to admit that at least.
Jace Perez
The color blue attracts autistic people
Ethan Gonzalez
Yeah, it has its fair share of weirdos but they aren't the giant majority of its fanbase. Pokemon at least has people lewding the actual human girls in it.
Lucas Cooper
This is the most insightful thing I've ever read in this god awful place
Gabriel Nelson
It's furries. Don't let them brainwash you in5o thinking most furries are normal people. They really aren't. There's been tons of "furry acceptance" on twitter lately, spearheaded by niggas like sonicfox. Beware.
Furrys are all disgusting. Even funny ones who make decent content, like YMS, is a disgusting piece of shit who fucked old men on Craigslist just to know what its like, is pro fucking animals and finds it disgusting if he knows someone on a personal level instead just wanting to date the idea of some bara wolf guy on the internet.
Chase Turner
Honestly, the majority of Pokemon and Sonic fans are probably well-adjusted people and if not, then young kids, but Sonic faggotry is absolutley more vocal. Also theres some lewds and shipping art of the human characters (pic related was retweeted by one of the actual writers of Sonic Adventure 2)
I thought he had overalls on going by the thumbnail.

After all those years I think I finally know the reason beyond this. It's the simple want to change your perceived self. For these guys it seems they want to be seen as cute, harmless and beeing in the spotlight. I believe the thing that puts us off is combination of that harmless exterior we link with our childhood (innocense and comfort) with the anonomity of wearing a disguise/mask while beeing an adult and expressing your needs and lust (sexualisation, dominance, fetishism). We are used to seeing whores in skimpy outfits or S&M people in fetish gear and intentionally link them to these things, but someone that disguesses itself in a cutesy and apparently harmless way while makes us uneasy. I believe mainly because we can't categorize them. It's like a grown adult that acts like a 10 year old.
furries are fucking disgusting, nintendies are autistic and sonic games are really fucking fun. t. person who just got into the franchise

Owen Murphy
Someone whose in the fanbase is someone who consumes a lot of the content constantly. Pokemon has humans in it, and a lot of the fanart is just of the humans so its more normal compared to Sonic which basically only furry shit which means a lot more of its fanbase is made up of furrys. Its also important to remember theres only like a couple anthro pokemon while all of the sonic characters are anthro, which is what furrys like.
and how big is the pokemon fanbase compared to sonic? sonic's isn't diluted with the general public. at it's core pokemon is completely fucked, no contest youtube.com/watch?v=7eK0JVH4Cfk
Josiah Thomas
those are pretty much my same sentiments on homosexuality/trans people. something like what you said and some kind of distorted thought process like "i hate myself but i love girls so i'll love myself if i'm a girl". i think homos and trans and furries are sexual deviants gone over the edge of what a straight, normal person would be willing to do like a hyperfetish.
Nolan Jones
Sonic fan here. I also want to know.
Caleb Perez
This has been perplexing us long before you knew this asscrack of the internet befitting misfits even existed.

I think this would make for a great documentary. Visiting these Sonic artists in real life.
Gavin Richardson
Why are you wierd user?
David Perez
Are you really using JustinRPG as an example? He fetishizes anything. I might as well bring up Chris-chan as an example of the Sonic fanbase. They're lowcows for a reason, they're outliers. JustinRPG bounces between pokemon, digimon, hell he even wants to fuck the flame monsters in oblivion. Literally the only reason he isn't into Sonic is because theres no characters big enough for him to be inside their bladder.
I dunno. I at least don't think I'm as weird as the OP image because that kinda shit as well as is just gross. But I do heavily masturbate to Sonic porn and am generally pretty autistic about the series. I think Sonic just produces some undiscovered chemical in the brain that turns fans into autists.
Luis Nguyen
True dat.
Nathan Miller
now that i think about it at this point we're basically just arguing about which fanbase is in 1st, and which is in 2nd. Sonichu is a mixture of...........
>liked by autists since they aren't humans, and humans are too complex and remind them of real life fug, that was totally me for most of my life. Is that really and autism thing, because I already knew I was on the spectrum but I never realized that was part of it.
Josiah Young
Just wondering, do you lurk/post in /spg/?
