Some of the most interesting parts of fandom/internet lore is hearing about the stuff that was going on before/around the time I was born. Because like, it's crazy to me, and was even crazier back then, to imagine that people didn't like, or even hated Sonic Adventure - I can see the rough edges now, but people protesting things like the designs? (...Actually I went through something similar with Sonic Boom, but that had the added thing of coming out when I was just old enough to take it personally that I was no longer the target demographic)
