Here is what I know to be true as a lifelong internet user and only occasional watcher of boys playing Sonic games on Segas in basements: Sonic is a hedgehog, which is cute. Sonic is blue, which is cool. Sonic has friends, who are also sometimes hedgehogs cute! And above all: Sonic. Mario was an everyman, holding down the good, sturdy job of plumber. Sonic was the next generation, with the made-up cyber-job of ring collection, a spiky-haired rude dude with attitude. Then came DeviantArt in , the amateur art-sharing website on which different fandoms could develop and share in deeply specific kinks and proclivities, using trademarked characters as the building blocks for their own budding interests. The Sonic franchise is patient zero for this. Also, and this is key, the Sonic style is fairly easy to draw, automatically lowering the barrier to entry for creating strange, illustrated erotica. The Sonic franchise also benefited from its adjacency to furry culture — he and his pals are anthropomorphic animals with big, cartoony expressive features.

In , Sega had a plan to contest Nintendo's console market dominance with a franchise of its own. It would be cooler, faster and full of attitude. When one thinks about speed and attitude, "hedgehog" isn't necessarily the first animal that comes to mind, but maybe that was part of the plan — take something weird and unexpected and make it cool.

The speedy, loop-the-looping Sonic the Hedgehog , who zoomed through halfpipes and cut a blue streak across any obstacle, who furrowed his brow and tapped his foot impatiently at idle players, became the hottest thing on the school playground. Fast forward to , and Sonic remains an icon — but not necessarily in the way anyone might have predicted.

Centrum pomoci Oznamy. Certainly, every user of Google has, at some point, watched at least one of the "What if Google was a guy" episodes. At some point of this particular episode, a guy asks for a simple term: Sonic the hedgehog pictures. Supposedly harmless, right? However, as soon as he makes sure that it is with safe search off, the pages start flying as if he has unleashed the demon of porn or something. I've tried to recreate the experience, mentally preparing myself a few minutes beforehand, expecting some sort of equivalent of Goatse If you are not familiar I was both relieved and disappointed to find it was not the case. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another safe search that one needs to dig deeper to disable? All I've seen was about a hundred pictures of Sonic standing in his standard thumbs up posture, and the first vaguely pornographic picture came quite far down, in which he was simply lying in a "draw me like one of your french girls" on a white background.
By Kayleigh Donaldson Film December 10, A word of advice to you, my dear readers, one that I wish had been bestowed upon me when I was but a young internet explorer: Never ever Google Image search anything related to Sonic the Hedgehog. I beg of you. Rule 34 decrees that if something exists on the internet, there will be a pornographic version of it somewhere waiting to be discovered.
