[up]That's not Fan Hater, don't worry. The comments sound like they did not come from fans.

Funny thing about all that talk of a Sonic RPG a couple pages ago. Apparently the Sonic Twitter shares this forum's braincells.

I had to laugh at the Rouge/Rogue gag.

I'd shared that at the bottom of last page, as well.
[down]It's not actually a problem.

[up][up]Eh, it sort of is. I get annoyed by the Sonic fans who bring up "momentum", same as "Adventure 3", since it feels like both of those things are defined as "whatever makes me, personally, happy" and not any actual thing.

[up][up]Tee Lopes made a comment about self-proclaimed "fans" that I find myself agreeing with. I'm not usually in favor of gatekeeping, but words have to have some definition.

Hard agree with Tee there. Also, I love that one of the comments brings up Star Wars, which has some of the same problems as the Sonic fanbase. I've maintained for a while that the two are some of the most unpleasable fanbases I've ever been a part of (in the sense of internal arguments on what the franchise even is. There are other toxic fanbases out there).

Hey y'all? What class are you?

For context, the official Sonic Tumblr put up character classes for all of their recurring characters.

They did it on Facebook and Twitter as well. It was already linked at the bottom of last page and the top of this one. Since I occasionally play tabletop games, and have done the related personality quizzes, I did already know I'm a paladin (with a minor in sorcerer). I'm happy with the character(s) I got matched with.

I'd imagine Omega as a barbarian as well. Also, I really like Omega's character in IDW. He's a straightforward violent grump and he's written with excellent comedic timing.

Sonic has more than just games, so I can see how a person who hates the games could call themselves a fan of Sonic.

[up]Theoretically true, but I rarely see anyone hostile toward the games even acknowledge the other parts of the franchise. Maybe occasionally they admit to liking the movies.

I've seen more than a few fans of the Archie comics who think the games are trash.

Ehhhhhhhhh... it seems like Tee's point was more that when you actively talk negatively of the majority of a franchise and refuse to give it a shot, it's not the franchise you're a fan of, it's your own nostalgia. I can understand being a fan of the characters and story of something, and not liking a specific means of how it's executed from time to time. For example, disliking how the show Game of Thrones ended, but being a fan of the world of ASOIAF.

Whereas what's at issue here would be more like saying you're a fan of the Star Wars franchise, but only really liking the original trilogy and old books, but hating on the prequels, sequels, shows, and featuring minority characters being represented because a sci-fi series inspired in part by the Viet Cong and Nixon's takeover of the Republican party has somehow "gotten too political."

Liking different parts of a franchise but not necessarily all of it really shouldn't be a controversial opinion, but that's not how it works unfortunately...

For my part, I just avoid the parts I don't care for unless specifically asked. I went through my "fan hater" phase already and that was a very miserable part of my life that I regret.

Unfortunately, some people don't grow out of it because some fans just thrive off their hate for whatever reason. Hating something is so exhausting though.

Think about the amount of energy you would need to put into hating something and think what else you could be doing.

I was just about to quote reply to the last person who posted it, even.

I really like that set, though I would’ve swapped Eggman and Sage’s around. Eggman would be the wizard, and Sage would be the warlock. Eggman’s her patron. I’d allow it if I were a DM.

The only other one that bugs me is Silver who is… a Ranger, for some reason. I guess everything else he could’ve been was already taken, tho.

Don't really have much issue there with the class assignments.

Though it's funny that Shadow is the Monk when I always pegged that as Knuckles but I guess it fits their modern interpretations.

Silver should obviously be a Psion, but I guess we're limiting ourselves to 5e classes.

KnownUnknown Since: Jan, 2001
#72572: Mar 30th 2023 at 12:36:37 PM

[up][up] I could buy it just because they were trying to use each class once. Knuckles sort of fits Barbarian but fits Monk better, but only one of the two between Shadow and Knuckles could be the Monk and Shadow *really* doesn’t fit Barbarian, so Shadow gets to be the Monk.

I thought the same think with Silver. For a sec I was like “why the heck isn’t he a sorcerer?” And then I noticed that they already had Blaze as the sorcerer and shrugged it off.

In the other hand, I’m imagining a Shadow as a barbarian and I’m loving it.

What if Shadow was usually his dignified self but occasionally just BURST INTO CAPSLOCK RAGE at a moment’s notice.

[up][up]No. I think there's some scattered psionic abilities, but they haven't made a full on psionic class for 5e. There was an attempt at one called Mystic, but WotC scrapped it for being unbalanced and they haven't tried another stab at it since.
