Why are Nintentoddlers allowed on this board? They're a fucking embarrassment and make real mature gamers like me look bad for even occupying the same board as me.

>b-but Nintendo excelled at making platformers!

Bullshit, Nintendo didn't excel at one god damn thing...I take that back, actually...They excel at one thing...Nintendo excels at being for bing bing wahoo babies and manchildren who run away when they see blood because they are immature babyfags...they can't handle a deep, dark, serious game like I can...Sega and Sony had games that reflected the inner darkness of my soul from having two Christmases since my parents were divorced...Nintendo did kiddy shit because nintentoddlers are fucking babies who never had to rough it in high school like real people, like me, who had to deal with bullies and preppy douchebags since they didn't understand my real power...

Have you seen what some Nintendo fans are like?
Houses full of Nintendo stuff. Games, toys, consoles, plushies even fucking cereal and soup cans.
And these people aren't even passionate about the games! Where CWC is busy macing people in defence of Sonic's arm color, your average hardcore Nintendo collector hasn't finished even a single Zelda game.
Besides, every fandom has nutjobs. There's at least a couple cults and a fuckton of suicides inspired by Final Fantasy.

The Smash fandom rivals Sonic for the most cringe I will give you that, but CWC is hardly the only deranged weirdo in the Sonic fandom, normal people are in the minority in the Sonic fan community

>> No.7102494

In the 2000s the perfect storm of Sonic Adventure 2 + the Sonic TV show captured an audience of nerdy tweens who started doing fanart/fanfiction of Sonic characters. As we know, tween/teen fanbases are always the more embarrassing and prone to cringe.

When you get exposed to the Sonic fandom at a tender age, you're almost guaranteed to be exposed to furry porn, because Sonic characters are furries, and teens are horny. And the furry community is one of the most deranged, insular, life-devouring subcultures on the internet.

For every bowser porn you can find, people can probably find thousands upon thousands of sonic porn. It's not a battle you want to get into.
Why are we even having this sort of "who's fandom is worst" shitposting anyway? I noticed there's at least 1 guy who always posts "so this is the power of the mario fandom", in an attempt to make the mario fandom (as broad as it is) somehow seem worse than sonic's...
Here's the thing, you can still be a Sonic fan and not be part of his infamous fandom.
I love the Mega Drive games and that shitty fandom didn't exist back then, therefore I was already a fan before these lunatics and the modern sonic took over.

Multiple generations of furry autism
>Gen 1
Happened near the birth of the World Wide Web. Based on the American cartoons and comics that had OC furry girls for porn and "dark" storylines that attracted fanfic authors.
>Gen 2
This time the autism came from Japan. SEGA began making their own sexy female characters, most notably a grown up Amy Rose with pantsu and Rouge the Bat who was obviously made as a gift to furry porn artists. Shadow the Hedgehog was a dark n edgy numetal Sanic for the 00's generation. Kids were making fanfics and fanart of Sonic X. The golden age of Coldsteel the Hedgeheg OCs.

The Pokemon and Mario fanbase is plenty depraved. I actually don't know the reason. I think a lot of it is Sonic is a meme.

Plus, just plain old history. Mario games are beloved by critics at large. Sonic less so.

The furry aspect appeals to children and degenerates, and the knockoff DBZ storyline lends it a false veneer of 'maturity'. This combination makes the Sonic universe attractive to people with severe cases of arrested development who want to want simultaneously remain in childhood while bullshitting themselves into believing they've grown up.

Mario's lack of cohesive lore and reliance on 'stories' that can be expressed in less than 10 words makes it harder to lie to oneself that you're a grown man obsessing over something made for 8 year olds.

Look at the world's most most visibly obsessive Sonic fan, CWC. He's some clusterfuck of developmental issues and probably has a literal mental age of 8. Sonic's veneer of maturity lets him tell himself he's not an overgrown baby.

Now look at the world's most visibly obsessive Mario fan, Moviebob. Total manchild, but atleast he functions and seems to have a grip on reality, no matter how laughable he might otherwise seem. He doesn't need his his 8 year old's fantasy world to have that vaneer maturity because despite obviously being an overgrown kid, he still functions juuuuust well enough to view himself as an adult without needing that crutch.
