✨Hi all! I'm Nicole, also known as SPD64! ✨
I'm a UK Sonic content creator and artist who's mainly active on YouTube but I also have other socials that I sometimes post on!

Dr. Eggman’s new evil scheme is to upgrade Metal Sonic into the ultimate fighting machine by stealing Sonic’s life-data and harnessing the power of the Chaos Emeralds. Can Sonic and his friends defeat this supercharged Metal Sonic?
I was not at all surprised when seeing the allegations of sexual assault at Sonic EXPO purely because I'm all too aware of how women (myself included) are treated in this community by men (cis men specifically)
There is a severe lack of respect towards women by men in the Sonic community, and it's not even a case of them thinking they're better than us, it's a case of them feeling ENTITLED to us
Of course it's not all men, but it always tends to be a man
I've spoken about this before, because it's been a long going issue at this point, and it can be incredibly frustrating when we already deal with this sort of thing outside of the fandom space
My own experiences include:
- A man threatening to break into my house and r*pe me because I wouldn't give him the time of day (he made alt accounts whenever I blocked him)
- An artist made NSFW art of my irl self
- Someone made AI porn of my irl self via selfies I've posted in the past
- A man tried to fetishise me in stream chat by constantly asking about my heartbeat (turns out there's a heartbeat fetish)
- My ex telling me to my face that I was only well known because I'm "an attractive female"
- A man held me by the waist during a photo and then proceeded to follow me around a con without saying anything
- Men have come to me asking if my female friends are single (they aren't and one of them is MARRIED which is public knowledge)
- Constant friend requests despite me always saying on stream not to do this
- Men backseating during streams, once again despite me saying not to which is especially frustrating when I'm playing a game I grew up with or played before
And that's all the things I can list just on the top of my head, so there's a good chance I've missed some other experiences I've simply blanked out of my mind at this point
Men, PLEASE understand that women are not here for your own gratification. Female creators aren't eye candy, nor a chance for you to practice your bad flirting skills
Like Ambresprower says in this video, we just want to have the same level of respect you give to the male creators/fans in the Sonic community. If you wouldn't sexualise or try to flirt with them, don't do it to us
Also keep your damn hands to yourself.

I've wanted a bunch of Japan exclusive Sonic merch for AGES and I'm so happy that I've finally been able to get a hold of them!

There needs to be a very real discussion within the Sonic community about consent, respect towards women, and responsibility when running a convention
At no point should anyone be assaulted, nor should their stories go unheard or swept under the rug
What a shame, man
NEWS: 🎬 A new screenshot from Sonic the Hedgehog: Memories and Beyond has been released!
The 35th anniversary short arrives November 12, while the Japanese-dubbed version is scheduled for 8:00 AM JST Friday, November 13. 💙

I'm so sorry you and your partner went through that amount of stress, but judging by the comments a lot of people appreciated it! I just wish the upper management appreciated it too
When I say "respect towards women", you don't need to be a woman-hater to have misogynistic habits
- Touching without consent
- Following her around a con
- Asking her friends personal questions about her
- Making unwarranted flirtatious comments
- Not giving the same respect you would male content creators
All of these (and many more examples) are not respectful nor should it be overlooked by any bystanders or staff that have been informed of this information
Men, please do better and call out other men you see behaving this way
