Essentially, the argument from incredulity that plagues the Sonic franchise both in and out the Vs community due to mUh fUrRies and the "bad" rep the Sonic fanbase has, it's a poor attempt of so called "normal" peeps to hide their thinly veiled hate, disgust and outright bullying towards the Sonic franchise and it's fans through the flawed, hypocritical "logic" of being even more toxic than the toxic fanbase from downplaying Sonic as low as possible (both in Vs debating as well as cultural impact) to outright attacking people IRL for even liking a Sonic game and everything in-between. "Normal" peeps find a rich man with mental issues dressing as bat and beating up people or an alien survivor of a genocide with god-like powers fine but a blue hedgehog with super speed is where they draw the line? Seriously?
Ofc these are very extreme examples that I'm sure the DB team doesn't really indulge in but many of their followers do unfortunately (e.g scrutinizing the heck out of Sonic games while other franchises get a free pass) it's why quite a few Sonic fans have become very defensive and cynical in recent times after years of torment (any criticism is usually seen as an attack now).
It's why I don't give MLP or Fairy Tail fans a hard time since I can kinda understand having to become numb to the hate.
