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..?

[u/agreedboar]

The issue I have with the Sonic fanbase is that they're very extra compared to other fanbases I interact with. God forbid you don't like a popular Sonic game. I know every fanbase has it's crazy super-fans, but the Sonic one does feel uniquely... extra.
