I'm gonna say it again but it is SO fun to have basically no context in how any of the Sonic characters truly act bcuz most of my info is from various fans talking about how they personally view the character and EVERY PERSON views the characters in a different way because that's how people work lmao so I just go around having to accept conflicting information constantly LMAO

#it's to be expected really because this is just how people are #but the fact I am getting literal opposing views like SUCH opposing views #like people going into DETAIL about why they think a character acts this way and someone ELSE goes into detail #about why the think the character is the total OPPOSITE way it's just so funny to me #like it's almost annoying but then I realize that I have no prior context to what these characters are like #and that no amount of characterization is going to be right for everyone #and a character could BLATANLY be one way and people will still say the character should be the opposite way #a character's core beliefs and personality traits could literally be written on paper and people will still deny it #that's the magic of fandom babey #you can never win #but also people have the right to be wrong if it makes them feel better LMAO as long as they're not being a dick about it #plus people in general are complicated beings so maybe one day you WILL be right abt ur characterization #and even if not people just like to have fun so I can't fault them for that #if they think a character would be better this completely different way then they can do that #it's just not canon is all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but fandom isn't canon regardless soo checks out #if I knew about Sonic games personally from playing them then I would form my own opinions on the characters #which would kinda take the fun outta all this bcuz my opinions are always right (joke)#but it would make me more attached to the characters and I would be much less accepting of mischaracterization #WHICH FROM THE SOUNDS OF IT HAPPENS A LOT IN THE SONIC FANDOM #from an outsider* looking in I just accept whatever I see from a character and it is always subject to change #bcuz I'm not getting the full picture #I can tell some people are very precise in the rules of characterization going by SEGA's current rules and regulations #others are for the OG game characterization and everything should be exactly as originally intended #others are more aware of the current games and media so they build characters off of that #and then the middle ground of the y'know the games in the middle who go off those characterizations #and then y'know ppl who go off the comics or go off of a specific writer for Sonic OR go for the shows #lots of different stuff to go off of and everyone's got their own idea of what they personally wanna see outta Sonic and others #and then there is me where I got no idea what's goin on I'll just take whatever which tbf Sonic fans ALSO do the same thing #it's just that Sonic fans have actual context and form opinions even if they accept whatever they get they are still hoping for better #where I got no idea sometimes I think I get it but then someone else comes along and says the total opposite so REALLY no idea lmao
