Drawing attention to this shit ought to be Illegal...

  1. Sonic fandom is terrible. Kotaku is terrible. Nothing new here.

    hahahahahahaha

    Also, illegal? That's... a tad too far, really. This shit is pretty funny after all, I just don't think Kotaku realized (or cared) that bringing this stuff into the public eye is like opening a huge can of worms for some people here. I couldn't really care less, the public view of this fandom is already bad enough as it is and this probably won't make a difference.

    I honestly love the idea that Kotaku is doing more than just reposting NeoGAF topics and then claiming that it's a Kotaku exclusive. Although I couldn't care about the site in the slightest now, I did find this article hilarious but I honestly think the site jumped the shark with it's new design.

    Huh, what would qualify as high quality tabloid? Like, doesn't tabloid already imply crap?

    Toilet Sonic is cute and looks better than Modern Sonic.
     
  6. Fun fact, you can go on Deviant Art and search <Your Name> the Hedgehog and find something about 95% of the time

    Only people with obscure first names like Yalda or something don't have it work

    I DONE MAKED GAMES.
    Just tried this with 'Jay' and 'Justin' (my actual given name that I hate like you wouldn't believe). Both yielded results. You're fucking creepy. I'm scared. And legally, Sega owns ALL this shit. Biggest non-canon cast ever? :P
     
  8. It doesn't stop with names either, try words like midnight, darkness or twister

    Working on my art!
    ^Well that's just obvious. I tried my name, my boyfriend's name, and one of my other friends names (Paul, Sean, and Amanda respectively) and that worked. Hilarious yet sad
     
  10. You are actually kidding me. And just for kicks, I tried the rest of my family's names. Clive was the only one that yielded no actual matches.

    Having a double "k" in trakker spares me from that, but not my real name

    Who called a Hedgehog "Doug" ?
     
  13. Who calls a hedgehog "Gareth"?

    A few people, apparently...

    This is quite disturbing indeed...

    Huh. I have the same nickname and name ('cept I don't hate my name. I was going to be called Xavier though, but my mom didn't like it as a first name. XP)
    As for this...to keep it short, I don't like it. If they're going to tackle various series, I just got a feeling they're just going to give certain other series a reason to be hated more than originally, which won't end well. 'Sides, even a lot of Nintendo related fanbases has their fair share of...well, y'know. Just not as much at times. What they have is nothing new at all, and it's getting quite old fast. But then again, how many people actually pay attention to what Kotaku says? Just asking out of curiosity. I rarely go there at all these days.

    I tried it. I dunno about you guys (read: yes I do), but my name came out mostly classy, save for a recolor here or there. I'm sure you can't guess my name.

    I miss the days when Kotaku was mostly held up by Brian Crecente and was of some journalistic merit.

    Now it's just trash tabloids for nerds..
