FIX SONIC'S ARMS IMMEDIATELY, SEGA!!!

Chris's recent failings have helped CWCki gather more information for this article. Be a winner by adding this information in.

"FIX SONIC'S ARMS IMMEDIATELY, SEGA!!!" is a Facebook public group established by Chris to continue his noble struggle to pressure Sega into returning the color of Sonic the Hedgehog's arms to pristine flesh. He made the group almost immediately after being kicked out of his previous group on 29 November 2014 for making death threats. Chris was only able to make minimal use of the page before his arrest. After his arrest, Chris logged back onto the page and discovered that while he was gone, the page was overrun by weens and spent plenty of time removing all of the trollery shown on the page.

Raison d'etre

The purpose of this group is to express our concerns to SEGA about the changes that have been made to Sonic the Hedgehog's arm colour. The old adage, "If it is not broke, don't fix it" is especially valid in this case. This group feels that changing the colour of Sonic's arms to Blue is Wrong, Erroneous, Monstrous, Offensive, and the BIGGEST MISTAKE SEGA HAS EVER MADE SINCE STOPPING THEIR CONSOLES AFTER THE DREAMCAST, and that it is Horrifically Detrimental to the quality of the character. And this is Regardless to the gameplay, stories, related/cannon or not, and all else aside. SONIC'S ARMS ARE NOT BLUE!!! And We Will Be Heard By EVERYONE, and Force SEGA to Recall Everything Sonic Boom, including Forcing Cartoon Network to Pull the Sonic Boom show Off The Air, and SEGA CHANGES HIS ARMS BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL COLOUR IMMEDIATELY!!! #SEGA #SonicTheHedgehog #SonicBoom #Nintendo #CartoonNetwork #GameStop #ToysRUs #WalMart #Target #BestBuy #WiiU #Wii #3DS #DS #DSi #AmyRose #Tails #Knuckles #Robotnik #Eggman

The small print reads, "CONTACT SEGA AND FORCE THEM TO RECALL EVERYTHING SONIC BOOM, INCLUDING THE CARTOON SERIES ON CARTOON NETWORK, AND DEMAND THAT THEY CHANGE SONIC'S ARM COLOUR BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL FLESH COLOUR IMMEDIATELY!!!"

Call to arms

5 December 2014 I have copied/pasted the earlier post of how and when I came about the blue armed mistake, along with a link to this group page, to SEGA Customer Service (having to use my Yahoo address, since they blocked/suspended my AOL address). Anyhow, to my utter disgust, I have received their Static Response! I will try telephoning them personally on the matter, and I urge EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THE SAME, as well as PROTEST FURTHER WITH PICKET SIGNS, POSTERS AND WHATNOT, IN FRONT OF AS MANY GAMESTOPS AND TOYS R US STORES AS POSSIBLE! TELL THEM ALL TO SEND ALL REMAINING ARTIFACTS OF SONIC BOOM BACK TO SEGA IN THE NAME OF SEGA RECALLING THE GAMES AD CARTOON TO CHANGE HIS ARM COLOUR BACK IMMEDIATELY!!! I am unavailable to schedule such a protest in my area, due to my responsibilities at home. But I urge everyone else who are able to: SET UP AND LITERALLY PICKET PROTEST!!!

Utterly repulsive

Chris responded to news of a second season for the TV show:

5 December 2014 BOO!!! I would only permit this happening ONLY IF THEY HAVE CHANGED THE ARM COLOUR BACK FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES!!! >:(

And furthermore, this notion and News is most Utterly Repulsive and Inexcusible!!! >:(

Suggestions for getting arrested

On 6 December, Chris gave instructions regarding specific actions his legions should take. He stickied this missive to the top of the page on 13 December.

6 December 2014 EVERYONE! I am going to hand-write to SEGA about this matter, and I have just called their 1-800 number and left a message last night. I will call again middle of this coming week if they do not call me back. I am urging everyone in the group to write and/or telephone SEGA as well, and INSIST and DEMAND upon them to Recall Everything Sonic Boom, including the cartoon and video games, and Change Sonic's Arm Colour Back Immediately!!! Suggest for them to do the following: -Recall ALL remaining stock of the Sonic Boom Games and Merchandise from ALL of the stores carrying them. -On the eSHOPS, IMMEDIATELY change the initial software to reflect Sonic with his original Tan Colour Arms, as well ALL video and imagery therein on there. -Replace ALL of their imagery and videos on their official websites and pages to reflect Sonic with the original tan colour arms as well. -IMMEDIATELY create NEW game Cards, Discs AND Inserts with Sonic's original tan colour arms. And on the software, the arm colour MUST be there INITIALLY; BEFORE any downloaded Software Updates. -INSTILL downloadable Software Updates for all of the already sold games to reflect Sonic Initially with tan colour arms as well. -REMOVE the Sonic Boom Cartoon from the Television and Internet airwaves, and change ALL of the Season One Episodes for Sonic to have his Original Tan Colour Arms, and Initially make that default in ALL following Seasons of episodes, including the Second Season. -AND They Must Announce this Recall and Update, As well as Apologies to Every Individual Person who Has Found Little to GREATEST Offense in the new Arm Colour, IMMEDIATELY, WORLDWIDE BROADCAST AND IN PRINTED MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS EVERYWHERE!!! Also, copy and paste the following true statement in your letters and telephone conversations: "The very sight of Sonic's Blue Arms makes our ally, Christian Weston Chandler of Ruckersville, VA, suffer from consistent Sensory Overloads. Upon seeing them, his brain immediately shuts down into a momentary to lengthy (depending on how long he is forced to displeasingly endure the horrific sight) state of mental paralysis. Combined with his Autism, he only gets more angry as each day passes with this pair of blue arms still remains. Either the Change back to him having tan colored arms happens IMMEDIATELY, or he and our THOUSANDS to MILLIONS of allies in the Sonic the Hedgehog Loyal Fanbase will only get more Angry and Outraged to the point of coming right over there to your office and doing something Very Bad there." Also, if somehow you have managed to receive a copy of either Sonic Boom game (no questions asked), you should SMASH the Game Disc and or Game Card, and enclose the pieces with your Letter to SEGA of America. To show them that we are Very Serious and Passionate towards Rectifying their mistake in changing Sonic's arm colour. Below is their address, and Customer Support phone number; LET'S GIVE THEM HELL AND BACK IN FORCING THEM TO WISE UP AND CHANGE SONIC'S ARMS BACK IMMEDIATELY!!! SEGA of America Inc. 350 Rhode Island St, Suite 400 San Francisco, CA 94103 1-800-872-7342‬

Pickle reference

9 December 2014 I know well I said not to talk about the show much, or post any spoilers. This time, though, I am willing to make this exception. I have heard that in the show, Sonic ordered a sandwich with no pickles, but is served the sandwich with extra pickles. I feel neutral/indifferent about the joke. But my friend read a bit into it as a possible reference to myself, as well as a possible middle finger gesture to me from SEGA. Being Serious and Sincere, no sarcasm or jokes: what do y'all think/feel from this lame pickled vegetable joke? Answer in the comments of this post.

Just so we are clear: I only want honest responses to the joke there. I do not want to hear anything that is said solely to get me riled up; please be genuine. Right now, I am uncertain, and that is why I add this comment now. Thank you.

No progress? Ugh!

11 December 2014 UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!! Isn't there ANY News or Rumors from SEGA in any favour of changing Sonic's Arm Colour Back, or ANYTHING at all?! Lack of News on the Homefront there is distressing.

Like I said, this series was a spin off. The change isnt permanent. Just a temporary thing

Shut the f*** up, Chase. His arm colour NOW needs to be changed back IMMEDIATELY!!! |:(

Joke crap

13 December 2014 Ha. Ha. Ha. :( I was expecting some sort of Joke crap that countered my cause. I got a postcard that had written on it some crap in favour of the blue arms. Yeah. Real mature, jerk-off. (middle finger) About as mature as that.

Reaching out to the MiiVerse

16 December 2014 Why did I NOT think of reaching out to the MiiVerse before? I did not think of it until today.

Sonic's arms, fixed

19 December 2014 I have just taken nearly every last Blue-Arm-Bandit image on the Sonic the Hedgehog Page, and Fixed Sonic's Arm Colour Back in each of them; Let's Spam These Images To the STH Page, Cartoon Network, SEGA, and MAKE THEM SEE THAT THE ORIGINAL ARM COLOUR IS MORE ACCEPTABLE AND BEAUTIFUL THAN THE UGLY, HORRIFIC BLUE ARMS!!! LET'S GO DO THIS THING!!!

About 10 minutes's worth of MSPaint

You're not fixing Tails' and Knuckles' arms though?

They'd look even better if they still had shading. Of course, you'd have to use an app other than MS Paint to do that.

Tails and Knuckles' arms have Always been Yellow and Red; look them up. And I used Photoshop.

Christian, if you're trying to make the point that his tan arms look better, wouldn't you want your examples to look as good and as close to how you'd want it as possible? Something more like this? I think that would get your point across better than simply brushing over them.

Yes, but I was in a rush; feel free to add shading to what I have started. And, still SHOVE THEM DOWN SEGA'S THROATS!!!

Cautious optimism

21 December 2014 This is News to me, after just now Googling "SEGA Recall Sonic Boom", I get the following article. I've read it; bugs or NOT, the Blue Arms remain the main concern. And in response to the article, I still remain unsure if this is a win on our side, considering we are looking for IMMEDIATE ARM COLOUR FIXES to the CURRENT SONIC BOOM GAME, regardless of bug patches that may have been distributed. What I feel this tells me is that SEGA's people and crew are Cowering Behind Their Own Mothers' Dresses and Skirts in their own estrangements from reality. What a bunch of Cowards! Let's Call Them Out on THIS in our Efforts to FORCE THEM to RECALL EVERYTHING SONIC BOOM AND CHANGE SONIC'S ARM COLOUR BACK IMMEDIATELY!!! This may be a break in our turn we've been looking for.

Then Chris got arrested. But this was just a minor speedbump in his crusade. On 29 December he shared his synopsis of the incident from his personal Facebook page.

Still here

{{quotebox|5 January 2015 Who said I was absent? Have I Not posted recently on my own timeline?))

It's all SEGA's fault

5 January 2015 Anyhow, someone SHOULD definitely send word to SEGA of America and Japan of my recent misfortunes resulting from the seed event of Sonic's Arm Colour being changed. Had they Not changed the arm colour, No one would have attacked me the way He had, followed by the warning spray of the pepper from my own fears and paranoia in self-defense. And I would have had no reason to Protest the way I have. This series of incidents definitely tops what's-his-name's whatever-he-did when they gave Sonic Green Irises for his eyes. THE green irises were an improvement; the Blue Arms are just plain Terrible and Horrific.

Seriously, though, WHO was that dude who reacted to Sonic's eye colour change, and WHAT did he do?
