Sonic and Autism?

What is it about The Sonic the Hedgehog series that attracts autists, spazstics and sex weirdos? Why are they not attracted to Star Fox, Crash Bandicoot and Donkey Kong?

Why is this a worldwide phenomenon?

>Why are they not attracted to Star Fox
Star Fox has its own quiet little following elsewhere

Colourful animal mascot with a way past cool persona saving the world with his wacky friends (each with their own quirks).
Posting best girl.

>you will never be an autistic demented sonic fan
it helps me get out of bed some days.

>He doesn't remember the lust penis

furries and 13 year old edge lords

They see how the cool kids like Sonic so they like Sonic too. 20 years later, the cool kids have moved on and are working, but the autists are still there. Autists don't like change.

Source: I have a bit of the ol' autism myself I think.

Sonic somehow strikes that perfect cord of being cool and relatable while still being disconnected from the shitty real world enough to make it idealistic.

It's characters and world are targeted slightly at older kids which somehow created the perfect habitat for autism to flourish.

Genetics.

As a more serious answer, Sonic combined platforming with proper physics, something which hadn't really been done to any proper extent beforehand. Platforming attracts autists. Physics games attract autists. Dragon Ball Z, which Sonic heavily parodies/references/rips off, also attracts lots of autists. The newer Sonic games from Heroes onwards have that kind of bullshit Steven Universe MLP-esque "power of friendship" stuff going on, too.

To get your answer, you have to go further back and figure out why autists were attracted to these things in the first place. Sonic just takes these elements and cranks the tism up to 11.

Why

Not sure if you're memeing or not, but there actually is some very good coco porn out there.

Reptiles are disgusting. At least furries typically like mammals

Man that's hilariously disgusting.

Why is Shadow such a fucking bitch? He is not the one that has to eat shit

I never got why people liked sonic in the first place.

>Star Fox
Who is Crystal
>Crash Bandicoot
Who is Tawna
>Donkey Kong
Who is Candy Kong

>watching this at 1:45 am

VIEN I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU IF THIS IS YOU

someone explain this

>Tawna
More like Coco

It was heavily marketed in the 90s and the games were actually pretty decent back then. How people get in to the series now I don't know.

The science was figured out years ago, OP.

There is literally no reason for this to exist.

Mario and Nintendo in general have plenty of autistic fans too but its probably sonic's easy to understand character deigns that make the series more attractive to them.
Autistics also particularly like Diddy Kong more than Donkey Kong as well.

>Source: I had to interview a bunch of autists for market research.

What did he mean by this?

you work for nintendo?

...

Because it was marketed a shit ton and cool with a "k" so it attracted tons of people (Especially the autists) and those people who've been with it since the 90's haven't left even after seeing the franchises current state (Again, especially the autists).

Do you think autism is essentially humanity trying to evolve to be more specialized due to societal pressures that require specialization?

kill all autists

Than who will shitpost on Sup Forums?

Although this is a genuine answer, I think there is more to it than that. I have an autistic younger brother and he's obsessed about sonic as well, even though he don't really like playing Sonic games and I don't think he knows much about its "lore". It's something about the character design by itself, not even in context of the larger universe or other characters from the franchise

This was the first thread I ever saw on Sup Forums when I came in 2007, it was so scary and foreign to me at the time
