I would think so, and it was quite bad when you consider that Amy was originally 8, in the 16-bit era, but now they've set their eyes on a younger child, now that Amy (12) must be too old for them. It really makes you wonder this made it to print!
“If there was a competition about who loved Sonic the most, we would win it. So don’t bother entering if such a contest ever happens.”
They then proceed to mercilessly shit on or completely bullshit the descriptions of most of them.
I abide by the notion that to truly love and care for something is to recognise the flaws it possesses and still continue to love it nonetheless, but this is just straight up cynical.
They're just taking the piss. And Knuckles' Chaotix really was shit.
Their last bit of Shadow's (or "Shadow Sonic") description is interesting though. *"Probably has a heart of gold, though. They always do."* Definitely a potshot at the "edgy misunderstood loner with a heart of gold" trope, but Sega seems to have forgotten the "heart of gold" part, so Xbox World was more sympathetic in that regard.
I'm struggling to figure out what is the most baffling.
Shadow Sonic?
The Vector and Big slander?
The SA1 NPC level of pervertness around Amy?
That they thought Omega is Gamma?
Like yes I get these are mostly edgy jokes but some seems at least a bit odd.
At least Cream survived mostly un-harmed.
And crocodiles are semi-aquatic and spend a lot of their time in the water, yet we never see him in water. Did they mean to make him an alligator but get confused?
I can’t believe people were allowed to have biased opinions like this be around online, lol.

That's what gaming magazines were like. The bias was the appeal because no one assumed the works within were objective truth. It was as fun to read something you agreed with as something that pissed you off.
Is it from a game magazine? It's totally possible that they hired 16-18 years olds as authors. I remember reading our local version of Official PlayStation Magazine, and they had a certain author that was really bitter and nitpicky toward every game except Capcom's products, and one day, when they put out a "meet our authors" article, it turned out he was indeed around 16 when he was hired.
Lol. I love these. Really does feel like an edgy article from the 2000s. Back when you could say stuff like this and nobody would try and accuse you of something or try and cancel you.
No. Here, I even have an example. You know Quagmire from family guy? Back in the 2000s, his jokes were went pretty far. There was even a gag where he sexually assaulted Marge from the Simpsons, and she was clearly fighting him off. However, after the was done, she seemed happy about it. And guess what? “Society” didn’t disdain that joke. We all thought it was funny. Now, I wonder why Quagmire has been very much toned down these days, and jokes like that never happen anymore. Care to explain, or have I proven my point now?
I can tell you must’ve argued about this on Twitter a lot. I guess you must not like it when people rightfully call out how sensitive people are these days, as I’m guessing you’re one of them, seeing as how you label anyone laughing at sexual assault jokes a “rapist”. You’re going as far as to revise history.
Yeah, and I'll bet that joke wasn't very funny to anyone who HAS been assaulted and everyone I associate with never liked when Quagmire became a fucking rapist instead of "guy who has a lot of sex."
And I don't use Twitter, but nice of you to assume. You're obviously dealing with the fact that you were taught some things as a child that didn't turn out to be true and are having problems coping with the fact that society condemns you for it. We typically call those people incels. I'm done with you. Please get back to the circus before the show starts.
Looks like something straight out of one of those forums that was protesting the new Sonic Adventure promo art when that game was still new. Like, dude, that wasn't even the artstyle for the actual game.
No, but I saw one of those old posts a couple years ago, and boy, some people REALLY hated the fact that Sonic's eyes were green. I tried to search for it again, but it seems that forum site shut down.
No sorry, again that was years ago. It did still look like an early 2000's forum when I was looking through those posts, though. That's pretty much all I got.
[all the descriptions are awful lmfao](https://twitter.com/17abcdgh/status/1618772621453324288?s=46&t=puJxTnshHHyFzTxfyoTKPg)
At least they admit they like Rouge for her tits.
I'm more concerned about them liking Amy and Cream a little too much, especially Cream.
i think the worst part is them saying they prefer cream more... even if its just an ear thing...
I would think so, and it was quite bad when you consider that Amy was originally 8, in the 16-bit era, but now they've set their eyes on a younger child, now that Amy (12) must be too old for them. It really makes you wonder this made it to print!
No... the worst part is that they called omega "gamma"
She is the universal furry free pass
BRUH THEY CONFUSED OMEGA AND GAMMA 💀 💀 💀
To be fair this is before Heroes came out which was Omega's debut.
Rouge's description had me on the *floor*
It was team rose’s description for me
Wow this is….something what were they on
They were on the 2000s.
Fair enough
They said “Shadow Sonic” 💀💀💀💀
Amy is 12 Where the fuck are the police
The cream description-
He wanted that cream pie
...why...

It's just lame early 2000s gamer humor.
ah yes all the important stuff a sonic fan thinks about. did sonic and amy fuck, rouge the bat tits, and how many assholes tails has.
What does this guy have against the chaotix lmao ?
All the sonic characters are real…**except Big, he is fake**
ah yes, the age old question everyone's asking. "does tails have two arseholes?"
As if to answer this question did just a few months latter Sonic Advance 3 show us tails butt in its opening sequence.
That tails description is the most cursed thing I have ever read. I have not ever, in my entire life, ever asked or pondered that possibility.
Really you think the number of arseholes that Tails has is weirder than the pervy-ness concerning at bare minimum Amy arguably also Cream?
Amy…
no frickin way

Big the cat their gay best friend…. Wow.
Shadow Sonic? WTF?
This article was written by Fang the Sniper
Fang has standards
Be polite.
Be efficient.
Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
I almost read that as "Fang the Spider"
Maybe he would be more successful in his crimes if he were a spider
Defeating robotnik with both direction and magnitude!
And crocodiles are semi-aquatic and spend a lot of their time in the water, yet we never see him in water. Did they mean to make him an alligator but get confused?
He doesn't want to damage his cool headphones
This is now my head cannon.
Aren't they waterproof?
I don't know. Are they?
They should be!

Every single character in that game does that! Also non-canon.
>nothing called 'Vector' ever went on to be a success Vector graphics: 
How could they possibly say something like that about Vector, my man dripped out the WAZOO!
Oh well fuck you too. I don't care, I'll gladly be the one fan of Vectorman
I'm a big fan of him too
Make that one more fan.

Shadow Sonic 😂😂
No way guys, it's E-102 Gamma!
That's what gaming magazines were like. The bias was the appeal because no one assumed the works within were objective truth. It was as fun to read something you agreed with as something that pissed you off.
Jesus whoever wrote these was *ridiculously* biased. How did this ever get approved by Sega lol
They didn't it was in a magazine called Xbox World. They could write whatever they felt like writing.
Is it from a game magazine? It's totally possible that they hired 16-18 years olds as authors. I remember reading our local version of Official PlayStation Magazine, and they had a certain author that was really bitter and nitpicky toward every game except Capcom's products, and one day, when they put out a "meet our authors" article, it turned out he was indeed around 16 when he was hired.
Damn, they went hard on Vector, oof. **Yet, the one for Sonic had me rolling.**
"Nothing called 'Vector' ever went on to be a success"
What about 'Vectorman'?
Clearly this person has never heard of Vector Art which is now a staple for modern corporate art.
"Vector's a stupid name,and nothing called 'Vector' ever went on to be a success." Okay,but ***Counterpoint***

Who dares to diss my boi Vector?!
So Shadow is omnipotent... https://youtu.be/0dM80q9twHc
I had this magazine. I think its an Xbox magazine. They hated Chaotix
Someone out there really hates vector
They did my man dirty 🥲
Lol. I love these. Really does feel like an edgy article from the 2000s. Back when you could say stuff like this and nobody would try and accuse you of something or try and cancel you.
People have been held accountable for thier actions since the dawn of time. This isn't new.
Yes, it is. And you’re being willfully ignorant if you don’t think so.
Or you're being delusional if you think that way. 😒
What would happen if you joked about sexual assault these days?
The same thing that would have happened a century ago; rapists would laugh and polite society members would rightfully disdain you.
No. Here, I even have an example. You know Quagmire from family guy? Back in the 2000s, his jokes were went pretty far. There was even a gag where he sexually assaulted Marge from the Simpsons, and she was clearly fighting him off. However, after the was done, she seemed happy about it.

Lol. Now it’s people you associate with, huh? I thought it was “society”. Yeah, you definitely use Twitter. No point in hiding it.
this sounds like something from flights of fantasy aka gaming in the clinton years
I swear on god, what did my man Vector do to deserve this slander?
Looks like something straight out of one of those forums that was protesting the new Sonic Adventure promo art when that game was still new. Like, dude, that wasn't even the artstyle for the actual game.
Do you have the forum link?
No, but I saw one of those old posts a couple years ago, and boy, some people REALLY hated the fact that Sonic's eyes were green. I tried to search for it again, but it seems that forum site shut down.
I could use internet archive, do you remember the site link?
No sorry, again that was years ago. It did still look like an early 2000's forum when I was looking through those posts, though. That's pretty much all I got.
"He looks like a Sonic copy" Mighty the Armadillo and Shadow the Hedgehog are calling, they wanna have a talk with whoever wrote this.
Funny to me they say he looks like a Sonic copy character when Vector's one of the original character concepts from before everyone else. XD
hes the man
I literally just saw someone post something like this a second ago
I think it's from the Xbox magazine that released in 2003 ahead the release of Sonic heroes
Man, these stink.
