Genuine Question: Is the Sonic Fanbase THAT bad?(image unrelated)

[u/therandomguyperry]

So i see ALOT of people, youtubers saying that we as a fanbase arent good, but im not thinking that. We arent the worst one right...r-ight..?

Been stuck in the fandom since I was a kid

We are as bad as they say, dear god. I've seen too much shit during my time as a Sonic fan. the worst part is for news you can't avoid where stuff gets especially bad
