What's the link between the Sonic fanbase and autism?
people with dissociative identity disorder projecting onto blank slates

>bright colors
>"cool" facade without trying
>fast paced music
>capable of "outsmarting" everyone with brute force (hand flapping)
>minimal story writing allows autists to create their own headcanons and dive into their own little edge filled delusions
I'm chalking it down to both sensory overload and a little bit of people falling for the style. That, and DeviantArt templates that they can MSPaint onto.

Go on...I kind of want to start a /v/ contest of who can create the most autistic sonic persona, so I'd need the template
why didn't mario ever attract this kind of autism
A mutation a specific gene in your bones can cause it to assume the structure of dna in an echidna. This causes filaments to grow out of the bones and pierce through the lower layers of the skin, destroying the nerve cells responsible for acute motor control. These filaments are dissolved before the fetus fully grows, but the resulting baby has severely damaged nerves. These children are softer, paler, and have shorter attention spans than those of normal children.
Sonic the hedge hog was made by an individual with this disorder. The attitude of the character, sonic, is similar to a person with that disorder. Most people with this disorder find similarities and comfort in having similarities with a character they see being looked up to.
If you look this information up on Wikipedia, you will learn that doctors named this dna segment "sonichedgehog" and the resulting disorder "sonic hedgehog syndrome"

Huh...
You learn something new each day.

>Robotnikinin
A potential inhibitor of the Hedgehog signaling pathway has been found and dubbed 'Robotnikinin', in honor of Sonic The Hedgehog's nemesis, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik.
Fuckin rad dude

You do realize that he's full of shit, right?
That said, there is a protein in humans that is named after Sonic, and it was later linked to autism.
>>340030771
Jerk, say I'm full of shit then reference exactly what i just said.
>>340030086
Nintoddlers may not be Chris Chan tier autists but they're close enough.
>>340030086
Mario attracted aspergrs, that's completely different
>>340030086
Because he's a lot less "cool" than Sonic

I was about to reference this. Marios personality is the result of having an accent, being happy, and trying to make people smile.
Sonics personality is the result of believing he is the fastest thing, proving others are slower, and winning.
Sonic immediately attracts people who think that way (in constant reference to themselves and how *insert defining feature here* they are) Pride, Ego, Fedora tier edgyness. Litterial obsession week ugh themselves.
>>340031492
Week ugh should be "with" autocorrect is a bitch
It's you looking to generalize and pigeonhole people you don't like for trivial reasons.
>>340031704
Oh fuck off. You're on 4chan you insufferable holier-than-thou nerd.
>>340029563
The porn and archie comics are good.
It's the coolest thing their parents would let them play.

Palcomix shit isn't any good at all. Even brony's material have more gems.
Only notable porn I've seen from Sonic is that one pedophile babysitter simulator.
>>340030086
Because Mario's eyes aren't connected.
>>340030086
Mario is Disney cartoon. Sonic is anime.
>>340029563
With as many failures as the series has seen Its probably because anyone who would really hold on to the IP as a fan and not move on to something else is probably autistic.
fuck off sonicfag race.
Poor families couldn't afford Nintendo, so all the emotionally damaged kids with shitty upbringings would escape into the fantasy of Sonic. That's why people still even talk about and respect Sonic, because the poor kids with good families grew up just like normal people but have fond memories of Sonic just like other more privileged people have for Mario.
