At the end of the day, we're all stronger when we come together and show a little respect to one another.
Now, please go enjoy your favorite Sonic media and know that you're valid for enjoying it. And maybe share something Sonic-related that makes you happy. :)
This platform in particular has a habit of rewarding and amplifying negative engagement. If you interact with it, it will continue to throw more at you. It's built to be a cycle.
The same can be said for the energy you put into the world.
Sonic, as a franchise, is so special because there's truly something for everyone to enjoy. While you're allowed your opinions and criticisms, there's no need to purposefully steal joy away from others.
