It's like I'm seeing double vision
Take a seat, I'm on a mission
We got everything to gain (everything to gain, yeah)
To become everything you're not
You just give it all you got
And take the pleasure with the pain
Yeah, I can feel my fire awaken, no time for being complacent
There's a dream on the horizon, you know we gotta chase it
And when we get to where we're going, then we start the invasion
Best me? Now, you must be mistaken, hey
You know I'll turn you into rust, grind you right down to dust
You thought you were the best, well, you haven't met us
I'll bring the fire and rain, call me "the hurricane"
I'm not letting it go, 'cause it's all that I know

I'm come to the conclusion that capital-G Gamers are uncomfortable about Sonic's amazing music challenging their sexuality and raising the possibility they may be queer eggs. They especially hate how it refuses to give in to the chuds by not making the series an unsafe space for queer fans. The talk about any feature of Sonic and the Sonic fandom as "cringe" is just their reactionary butthurt at the themes challenging capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy throughout this queer art franchise.
The villain of the series being "Dr. Eggman" is a subtle commentary on the oppressive cissupremacy of white culture.

I’m more of fan of the Dreamcast era.
Sonic's need to collect golden rings and emeralds exposes the fetishistic accumulation of the capitalist world, a necessity for survival in Robotnik's colonialist hellworld he can avoid by organizing with his friends to topple Robotnik's imposed hierarchy and liberating all the animals from his industrialized capitalist empire.
Slobodan Milosevic was obviously a Shadow the Hedgehog fan, but weren't we all?

The bonus stages in Sonic are a commentary that under capitalism your "reward" is more difficult labor for "gain" that ultimately does not progress society to the end stage of liberation.

From what I gather the movie is about a brutal cartel boss who transitions and is then basically absolved of all the crimes she committed. All very absurd
My favorite plot… 
That's funny. Exchange "brutal cartel boss" with "fat mentally ill layabout" and you have the life story of most of Resetera.

Unfortunately, Sonic cannot be considered truly progressive. For like all art produced under capitalism it contains strains of reactionary thought. "Super" Sonic is perhaps the best example as it spreads fascist ideology at its worst. By monopolizing the chaos emeralds, taking them from their Indigenous locations, Sonic can become the prophesied Ubermensch with nigh unlimited power. Not only does this suggest that acquiring wealth is a good thing it also places Sonic in a clear hierarchy over the other animals and ultimately denies them the means of acquiring their own liberation. Sonic then hordes the chaos emeralds and their power rather than returning them to where they belong (and any Indigenous animals they belong to) or sharing them equally with the other animals after liberation. Though perhaps we can see this as a warning to would be revolutionaries that revisionism and wreckers will restore capitalism and its hierarchy if the marginalized do not remain vigilant and is a message that the animals need to overthrow Sonic and redistribute his exploited wealth rather than believe that merely toppling Robotnik has brought them liberation.

many might consider dr. eggman to be a colonizer, a capitalist, a "tech bro" as it were, the elon musk of his time
not so; for the hedgehog protagonist is also tasked with the acquisition of rings, shiny baubles ripe with the stench of capitalism, which we are taught is the sole source of a safety net. find yourself caught without capital, and your end is swift and uncompromising. meanwhile, the downtrodden machinist only seeks to make all animals equal, and not, as related in orwell's hateful novel, for "some animals to be more equal than others."
the skillfully-crafted caricature they cast as the antagonist cannot be ignored, it is quite clear whose ideas they desired to demonize with his portrayal:
Next time I'm going to check if the latest page has degenerated into retarded Sonic posting before responding to posts 3 pages back.
Fuck all you degenerates.
Dr Eggman. A symbol of self hatred. Obviously queer, afraid to come out. Willing to destroy the world to hide his truth.
