3.9k likes on this post really just goes to show how irredeemable Sonic twitter is at this point you all genuinely suck.

People who dont understand the argument are already quote tweeting with strawmans alright let's just wrap this up already I'm tired

Sonic if he were a WELL-WRITTEN CHARACTER™ and not the """gotta go fast""" guy you guys want him to be

It’s not just hiding it from them, it’s hiding it from the audience as well. I don’t need Sonic to internally monologue about how much he cherished his time with Chris because I can see as much in the tears that he can’t completely hide and his actions throughout the episode.
TS retweeted
Sonic X was able to convey how much Sonic cared about Chris through subtle (enough) actions. Excuse me if I find a montage of Sonic making this face at each of his friends and thinking about how much he cherishes them to be exceedingly lame.

I was playing Sonic Adventure 1 with the original classic character design and man, they fit in so much more nicely into the game visuals than their modern designs do imo.
Which, makes sense when you consider the game's entire art direction was built with these designs in mind.

It’s about the identity of Sonic as character and a brand and how he (and the brand) was represented in his games.
Today, the franchise is a flanderized, shallow, and sanitized husk of what it was before. Even with Frontiers and Shadow Gens.
But nooooo….you have to be happy with anything and everything Sega gives. Any ounce of criticism, and you’ll be thrown to the wolves by the very “fandom” itself.
It’s coming from passion of the franchise and frustration from Sega/Sonic Team over-correcting on previous feedback and currently pursuing a direction that will only make Sonic more “safe” and “sanitized.” Not to mention that the brand was grossly reduced to a caricature of what it actually represented in the late 2000s-2010s in part because of the VERY SAME FANDOM that now dismisses desire for Sonic to return to the vibe he had in the 2000s and almost believes everything is sunshine and rainbows currently.
The Sonic brand can be represented better. It SHOULD be represented better.

I think the current controversy with this panel kind of shows how awful discussion is on this app because it’s all bad faith
Nobody is saying they want Sonic to never have any emotions or flaws. Almost every argument against the criticism is just missing what the issue is
TS retweeted
This is what I mean. This behavior is utterly belitting. You'd rather grab a quick dunk than hear someone out. Since you obviously don't know what you're talking about, why not ask instead of making up an idiotic argument? Can't wait till this habit is gone, good lord
Night man✌️

Sonic isn’t doubting his abilities, he’s questioning if he could physically pull off a technique he’d only ever seen once with a fake Chaos Emerald oh my god💀💀💀
TS retweeted
YES, Sonic is supposed to be a static character. NO that doesn’t mean he should be an unfeeling unemotional entity. You can give Sonic a moment of weakness without making him have a panic attack.
Exhibit A:

Call me biased to the 2000s characterization, but this way of handling a goofier Sonic is much more natural than Colors

I'm just really really tired that people always say ''it's just one bio'' and this been happening so many times now where a bio gets changed and in consequence amy rose is downplayd to the level of being really boring, only idw amy and manga amy being the positives
SEGA removes Amy Rose's romantic feelings for Sonic from her Japanese character profile!
The official Japanese #Sonic Channel has updated Amy Rose's biography, removing all explicit references to her longtime crush on Sonic.
Her previous profile described her as a girl in love with Sonic who constantly chased him and even called herself his girlfriend, a character trait associated with Amy since her debut in 1993.
The new description takes a different approach, presenting her as an energetic, positive and courageous hedgehog who leads her friends and never backs down when they're in danger. It also highlights her Piko Piko Hammer and dedication to self-improvement.
Interestingly, Sonic is no longer mentioned anywhere in her main character description. The change has sparked discussion among fans, especially given how closely Amy's feelings for Sonic have been associated with her character for decades.
SEGA has not provided an official explanation for the rewrite.
What do you think about this change to Amy's characterization?
