Is. Are ppl getting confused bcs Uncle Chuck calls him 'sonny'/sonny boy as like. An affectionate nickname/term of endearment???

no its not that, most of the people who actually believe sonic is named sonny probably dont even know who uncle chuck is since a lot of them dont know much about sonic lmao

basically theres an old sonic series bible from the 90s by sega of america who wanted to give sonic a backstory while also ignoring what sega of japan wanted to do with sonic. its all a bunch of obviously non canon stuff that was never referenced in the games at all like sonic originally being a normal hedgehog named sonny who lived in nebraska and had 5 sisters. i dont feel like getting into everything but if you wanna read about it theres a page on the sonic wiki that summarizes it i think. but all of these ideas were abandoned decades ago and aren't canon

a few years ago some youtuber made a video going over the stuff that was in the sonic bible and it got a couple million views which caused a bunch of people who know nothing about sonic to just. accept everything in the sonic bible as canon information. so now theres a bunch of people in the notes of my post trying to tell me that sonics birth name is canonically sonny and its making me become the joker

#i saw another post going around a while back that was about states that video game characters are from or something #and people in the notes kept saying sonic is canonically from nebraska NO HE ISNTTTTT #people are so obsessed with spreading misinformation about sonic . not just with the sonic bible thing but like in general. so annoying #asks #sonics backstory in the fleetway comics is actually loosely based on the backstory the sonic bible suggested #but it doesnt take EVERYTHING from the sonic bible. #from what ive seen it only takes the idea of sonic originally being a brown hedgehog who was friends with eggman #so not anything about sonic being named sonny and living in a bush outside a restaurant in nebraska #fleetway readers correct me if im wrong i tried my best to fact check but ive also never actually read it so #even if it was a straight adaptation of the sonic bible though the fleetway comics arent canon to the games or any other sonic media #so they shouldnt be taken as an accurate representation of game sonics backstory #once again i dont think theres anything wrong with taking stuff from the sonic bible and using it as headcanons if you want #my problem is people treating stuff from the sonic bible as canon information and spreading misinfo #from what ive heard theres several contradictory versions of the sonic bible because they couldnt make up their minds #and again none of it is used in the games so like. why are you taking it seriously again
