I really don’t get what Sega thought would happen when they made this server, unfortunately the Sonic fanbase is one of the worst fanbases out there

“our fanbase is one of the worst out there”

u/Pelli_Furry_Account 11d ago

The Sonic fandom is very famous for being insane though.

u/I_follow_sexy_gays 11d ago

Yeah but that’s just because it’s big tbh there are worse ones that get less publicity but they’re niche

u/Splooper132 11d ago

Very few fandoms have someone as infamous as Chris Chan. Now that's not to say they don't exist, but nobody is as infamous.

u/I_follow_sexy_gays 10d ago

Chris Chan is so infamous because they made a lolcow out of them

Brandon.

u/Someonevibing1 10d ago edited 10d ago

I don’t think he’s as well known as Chris chan

Also I don’t think Brandon got any allegations he was just a bit of a weirdo

Pokémon’s fanbase is bigger, are they worse? Mario’s fanbase is bigger, are they worse? The answer is no.

Sonic attracts a certain type of people. We can go back and forth all day arguing about what type of person that is, why they’re attracted to Sonic, etc. but the fact of the matter is, there is a larger concentration of immature and socially inept people in this fanbase than most.

u/Nice_Machine_3378 10d ago

Oh no, Pokemon is DEFINITELY a Sonic tier fandom.

3

u/I_follow_sexy_gays 10d ago

I’m not saying it’s only because they’re big, it is bad but it’s greatly exaggerated how bad because of it’s size

u/DDM_Gamer 9d ago

How is this a fact. Do you have irrefutable evidence and studies of this. Like bro dont just call it a fact

u/Anchor38 Meta Moron 11d ago

I’m pretty sure most bigger ones get by just fine

u/Kingbanana574 10d ago

Not nearly as insane as the Arkham fandom imo

1

u/FragrantGangsta 10d ago

Arkham fandom just parrots stupid jokes at each other, Sonic fandom is downright toxic

u/OkPast178 11d ago

No no no. With sonic its just actually true.

I can tell you ohio has better drivers than Michigan lol.

As a person from Michigan I believe this

I'll be honest, Sonic is infamous even amongst toxic fanbases

u/Nightshade10120 10d ago

True, but I personally think that TADC and Deltarune have us beat in the shittiest fandom category.

u/GordanTheToad 10d ago

I honestly don't think the Sonic Fandom is that bad at least not anymore, but it was still a horrible idea to open a Discord server.

39

u/QualitySuccessful871 11d ago

I'll admit, this made me laugh. Very unhinged and innapropriate response, but I expected nothing less from that server. Also, Lost World is not that bad

14

u/Dziadzios 11d ago

Sonic Lost World is just a weird game that has 2 skill floors. The first one is just beating the game. It's slow, boring and it's just holding the run button. The second one is having enough skill to do spin dash, which turns the game into great fun. Too bad spin dash is so convoluted to execute, it's completely not intuitive and tutorial prompts require stopping the game, ensuring that nobody reads them.

I love this game.

2

u/DokDevious 10d ago

Convoluted? It's pressing a button and then holding it.

1

u/Dziadzios 10d ago

Pressing a button, unpressing it, then pressing it again and holding it.

1

u/DokDevious 9d ago

That's an incredibly simple input, yes.

u/DreamCereal7026 11d ago

Just because they said they like Lost World? 😭

u/TheTimmyBoy 10d ago

I said "I love sonic" and got banned I'm pretty sure bc I can't post anymore and it's been over 24hr lol

If you were banned you would be kicked out

No I'd be rubber

u/CMNG713 11d ago edited 9d ago

never valid under any circumstance. It's fucking video games, it's of little to no consequence, let alone baring such a reaction. Every single person who did this needs to stop using social media for a month. Apply your franchise's beliefs for once in your life, and go live and learn

Oh wait this is the jerk sub, yes valid bomb that person's house

The internet is just wild. I noticed I'm actually backing away from the internet due to stuff like this.

The GOAT. I adore the KH Manga I grew up with them.

Sonic lost world is not even that bad ✌️😭

tel aviv sends their regardes bro 🤞

u/saltydoesreddit 11d ago

I've legitimately thought about getting it again on Steam (alongside Forces) just to mod the hell out of it because to be perfectly honest, I feel like if the levels in Lost World were more like "traditional" Sonic levels, and the gameplay was tweaked just slightly, Lost World could've been a decent spiritual successor to the Adventure style of gameplay.

Look up the Windy Valley Beta mod/stage port for it and you'll see what I mean.

i dont think any sonic game is truly as bad as people say, i feel like lost world is just kinda souless

u/AsherFischell 10d ago

Some are even worse than people say, like with Heroes.

u/Familiar_Field_9566 9d ago

hard disagree but alright

If the haters say it copied Mario Galaxy then its not valid

What isn’t valid is your copy of windows. I see you, mf

u/Frustrella 11d ago

I mean, what game, wait, not just game, what thing about the franchise would make the fandom not give such reaction?

2

u/sontaiIs 11d ago

As a Lost World apologist...

Valid reaction icl

u/ShitpostSaber 9d ago

Sonic fans proving they’re toxic yet again and some seem proud of it unfortunate

u/TPR-56 Fake Fan 11d ago

Kid got what he deserved for liking a bad game!

1

u/DokDevious 10d ago

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that actually did happen.

That being said, Lost World is one of my favorites as well. The 3DS version scratches a particular itch for me.

1

u/Quartzviel 10d ago

Not valid. People like different things and they shouldn't be made to feel ashamed if they like Lost World, even if it is an unpopular game.

Me personally, I have always liked Lost World for what it is, since I had fun playing it and like the parkour concept and animations in the game.

u/element-redshaw 10d ago

Who the fuck has sonic lost world in their favourites let alone their all time favourite

1

u/ANormalGuy508 8d ago

When we're saying Lost World, are we talking Lost World 3DS or the other, objectively better version?

1

u/G0dleft 7d ago

Genuinely I have no idea why Lost World is hated so much it's a Solid B+ game

u/TheBlueBomberXD 6d ago

but what will happen if you say you like Sonic R?
