Sonic the Hedgehog for me. I love the franchise, but I stay clear of the fandom. So many weird people latch onto Sonic stuff and make it all icky and creepy. I guess that's what happens when a company like SEGA claims "Everything is canon."

    Also perverts. I was absolutely obsessed with Sonic Archie comics and finding forums as a kid was how I learned about furry porn. Scarred and older, a decade later, saw how cool Sonic Mania was and wanted to interact with others. And there it was again... Pervert shit.

    I've been mostly obsessed with the comics as well. I built a website just to track all the comics and arrange their covers in proper reading order.

    It's out of date right now (I'm currently working to get it updated, actually), but all the Archie Sonic comics are listed in order. You can check it out here.

    I at least like that a few pieces of Sonic media lampshade this.

    In one episode of Sonic Boom (a show designed to be watched high by adults) he’s kidnapped by an aardvark that’s a rabid fan.

    “Oh! N-no, I wasn’t trying to escape, I was just…reading some of this fanfiction! Ooh. Sonamy, spicy!”
    “Oh. Yeah, I don’t really even care for it, but it seems requisite for the readers.”

    This is kinda funny for me because "Sega" is an Italian slang to say "masturbation" which seems rather fitting to the fandom
