Sonic Boom Protests

While everyone else was posting on Facebook about less important political concerns like widespread police brutality and sexism in the video game community, Chris decided to devote all of his protesting power on Sega's decision to make Sonic's arms blue in their latest non-canon game in the series. He is so passionate about this apparent defamation of his favorite video game character that he has gone so far as to write letters to Sega, write angry tirades in his Facebook moods, and even threaten the lives of Sega employees. No word yet on whether or not he will boycott Sonic Boom or just buy the games and watch the show like the consumerist lemming he is.

Sonic's Arms Hatred: The Backstory

Chris continued his rant over Sonic Boom, revealing that his hate for Sonic's blue arms started since February.

He later ended his Facebook post with a YouTube link to the Sonic Boom TV Trailer.

3 December 2014 I have just received a question from one of my girl friends: "So, I'm curious, where did you hear about this blue-armed Sonic Issue? Is it something you discovered on your own, or is it a bigger issue in the Sonic community?" To best answer this question, and to VERY MUCH my visual dismay and further recollection: I HAVE been feeling this SINCE Last February. I needed to search for the ONE Announcement Trailer Video of the DAMN TV Show. I Remember finding it for myself on either Facebook through SEGA's feed, or on YouTube through the video recommendations, on my laptop, as we were moving into the temporary house. I felt UTTER Shock at the sight of the Blue Arms on Sonic immediately as I watched it for the first time that day in Early February, 2014; This Year. I was too busy and stressed from collecting as much as possible from the burnt house, and bringing them either to our Storage Unit, and this house's basement I had not thought about the issue much, UNTIL Last June or July with the E3 Trailers being presented on the SEGA and Sonic Facebook Pages! Since Then, I have continuously protested the Blue Arms by commenting and messaging them that "Sonic's Arms are NOT Blue!!!" And among which, I have Warned Them that this sort of thing would NOT end well for them, and it was, and still is, a Very Bad Idea!!! So, in short: I watched the damn trailer last February, I felt Pissed Off Then, I relearned about it last June or July: I Still felt Very Pissed Off, and NOW I am continually Growing and GROWING More Angry and PISSED OFF AT SEGA, NINTENDO AND CARTOON NETWORK AND EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED THERE!!! I have Contacted SEGA and Commented NUMEROUSLY with MONTHS worth of time. They ignored me, Not Responded or Done Anything about it at all, and therefore the time for Talk IS LONG DONE AND OVERWITH!!! AND WE NEED ACTION UPON SEGA AND SONIC BOOM NOW MORE THAN EVER!!! Thank you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_A3e2bl334

Greatest Mistake Ever

7 December 2014 Follow My Lead to Force SEGA to Wise Up and Fix Their Greatest Mistake Ever!!!

Pickle Joke

In Chris's new "FIX SONIC'S ARMS BACK" Facebook group, Chris posted about the pickle joke in the show, surprisingly being neutral about it.

10 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.

For Christ's and God's Sake

Chris shared another of SEGA's Facebook posts, this time about introducing the main character, and Chris as usual complained about his blue arms.

12 December 2014 For Christ's and God's Sake, PLEASe CHANGE HIS ARM COLOUR BACK IMMEDIATELY, SEGA!!!
