I wonder what the original Sonic devs think of its legacy

Why Sonic? Well, if you were ~12 years old in 1999, three things happened:

Sonic Adventure came out in North America
Home Internet access exploded
You started feeling funny feelings down there

And that's what Sonicmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

All three things were true for me and I'm still not a furry or Sonic fanatic. Not saying those things are bad but all the ingredients were there and somehow it just didn't click for me.
- There may be other, secret ingredients not listed.
- I'm sorry for your loss

Nah, man, I'm autistic

"You're eating that meal again?"

I just said I'm autistic

"You like Sonic The Hedgehog?"

Yeah, man, that's a prerequisite

"Why are you hyperfixating?"

See the above, bitch

They seem fun 😊

And specifically knuckles, I have no idea how many times I've seen somebody draw him pregnant other than too many.

Dammit now I have the pregnant sonic song stuck in my head
Never enough times

Sonic doesn't do anything to anyone. Sonic just attracts people that have already had stuff done to them.

Some of its ironic, some of it isn't.

The good shit is the stuff that isn't, but totally is.

I don't understand. Why is a crocodile pouring Crystal Pepsi on a Chao?

Crystal Beptism
- Still don't get it. What does Pepsi and Sonic have to do with baptism?

As the grandfather of all internet autism, Chris chan should be consulted.

Grandmother.
- Apologies
  
  Gonna look over my shoulder for a very deserved macing

Am so done with these sexy hedgehogs. You put your prick into them, you get hundreds back.
- Thats actually the echidna and their multi headed dicks.
(Amy gets within hammer range)

So ... I understand the Crystal Bepis part of this. But I have no clue how that's related to Sonic.

That's Knuckles, and the baby is a Chao. I don't recognize the alligator character though.
- Vector the Crocodile
- Only having played Sonic a few times, decades ago, that doesn't help me much. Now however, I have a connection by way of R.A. Wilsons Illuminatus! series,
  
  The Sacred Chao is a symbol of Discordianism or Erisianism, which is a religion that worships Goddess Eris, also called Discordia, the Greek deity of chaos, discord, and strife.

I see videos of the entire series and I have to wonder what's going on with Sonic, too. Because after the original games, it just seems like they have been throwing random shit into them just to see what sticks. One of the newer ones kinda reminds me of a Rust-like game made by a teenager using whatever free assets they could get so everything looks like it came from 13 different games. IDK if that's maybe part of the appeal, but it looks funky as an outsider.

I just started watching Bill Mahrs hbo weekly thing and the most recent one he calls out the sonic feet artist Fandom.

What a wild timeline we jumped to.

Sonic fan here. The red one is Knuckles, the crocodile is Vector, they are baptizing a Chao. This is just an Absurd humor meme with a Sonic setting, that's it. Is not that deep nor that weird, chill out.
