Keep Sonic Original

Keep Sonic Original was a Facebook page constructed by Chris's friends for his benefit in his holy crusade to force Sega to reverse their decision to give a blue tint to the arms of Sonic the Hedgehog in the new game/TV show Sonic Boom. It had a short lifespan but saw considerable participation by Chris, most of it angry and hostile.

The page is formed

Chris was on a mission to destroy all images in the known universe of blue-armed Sonic. This was a multifaceted protest, involving shouting in public, vandalizing stores, spamming websites, and macing GameStop employees. It also involved Facebook. Originally, Chris used his own Facebook page, CwcvilleGuardian, to proselytize, but eventually saw the wisdom of a separate topical page where outraged fans could gather and do what Chris commanded. The page was founded on 13 November 2014. The manager was Kenneth Englehardt.

Sensory overload

14 November 2014 In response to Ryan's post on this page, I totally agree with him on the total colour balance on Sonic, and having blue arms with blue everywhere else on there REALLY IS TOO DAMN MUCH. Seriously, when I see the blue arms on the blue everywhere, I get a sensory overload so bad, that it drives me crazy. I have literally lost a bunch of sleep and peace of mind over the Arm Colour change. And that is more than reflected in my posts and comments between near Every Image of Sonic With the Blue Arms on the official Sonic the Hedgehog Facebook page. Sonic's Arm Colour MUST BE CHANGED BACK NOW!!!

If you ever loved me, you'll do it

In response to an utterly offensive cartoon, Chris responded:

14 November 2014 Remove This Image, PLEASE!!!

Not funny

Another typical male troll posted another unacceptable image, prompting Chris to comment:

15 November 2014 I Disapprove of this image.

Please remove it.

Sonic not dead

15 November 2014 Sonic the Hedgehog is NOT Dead. And any reference in text or image towards such an outlandish statement shall be immediately removed by my associate running the group.

Retail store managers are not exempt

16 November 2014 Now THIS REALLY DISAPPOINTS ME! At the local Target in CVille, they are nearly sold out of the damn Games as well. Not only that, but I ended up in a dispute with Blue Arm Promoters there; the "Security" Janekop, and the Manajerk, Jamie. We ended up in a heated discussion over the Sensory Overloading of the Blue Arms, and that they should NOT have stocked the shit games as well. The discussion ended peacefully, but with disgruntled disagreements among us. I encourage everyone in this VA area to look up either of them, and encourage them to SEND THE GAMES BACK TO THE COMPANY, AND BUY BACK THE ONES THEY SOLD AND SHIP THEM BACK AS WELL! Do That EVERYWHERE ELSE that is selling the Damn Games as well!

No spoilers

16 November 2014 New Note: Any Spoilers, or such, of the content in the Sonic Boom Games and TV Show, are not allowed on the group timeline is not permitted, until when SEGA finally wises up, Recall EVERYTHING of them, and change the game Inserts, Data, and Cartoon Content, to reflect Sonic with his Original Color Arms. I am BOYCOTTING the TV Show altogether, as well as ANYTHING of the show and game on YouTube. Also, leaving NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, REVIEWS, DISLIKES AND THUMBS DOWN ON EVERYTHING [cut off - incomplete]

Send polite messages to CN

16 November 2014 SONIC'S ARMS ARE NOT BLUE, AND THEY SERIOUSLY CAUSE SENSORY OVERLOADS IN ME!!! PLEASE ENCOURAGE CN TO REMOVE ALL OF THEIR SONIC BOOM IMAGES, VIDEOS, AND THE TV SHOW ALTOGETHER FROM THEIR FACEBOOK, FROM THEIR CN WEBSITE, AND FROM THEIR CHANNEL IMMEDIATELY!!!

I hate this joke

A site member posted a Reddit comment about an autistic child who hated Sonic Boom, along with the note, "Apparently Sonic Boom is so bad playing it can cure autism! LOL!" Chris replied:

16 November 2014 NOT APPROVED! This is a damn lie! Please Remove this image and comment! I Hate This Joke! >:(

Nothing else matters

In a general reply to the direction of the discussion, Chris raged:

16 November 2014 I Do Not Care about the gameplay, stories, or that it is Fucking Cannon or Not! The Blue Arms on the Blue Hedgehog are Totally a Major SENSORY OVERLOAD TO ME!!!

Just a small reminder

17 November 2014 I Feel I need to Remind Everyone that I AM SERIOUS, and I HAVE BEEN SERIOUS ABOUT THIS FOR MONTHS!

Sign the petition

Chris linked to www.ipetitions.com and wrote:

17 November 2014 Petition Keep Sonic Original RIGHT! Sign this Petition, Please!

Cannonade

A site member correctly pointed out:

Guys, do you realise this game isn't canon of the original sonic? the 'Sonic' in Sonic boom is a descendant of original Sonic in the distant future.

Chris lashed out:

20 November 2014 That does Not Matter with the freaking issue! Did I not make it clear that I DO NOT CARE RATHER OR NOT IT IS FREAKING CANNON OR NOT?! OMG!!! I soo fucking hate that word, Cannon, in the definition of Matching or Related!!! I have Hated it since that definition of the word Conofused Me from after its introduction to me while I was drawing my comics years ago! Which led to me losing my inspiration to draw more among other troll and bully abusive reasons! >:(

Later he realized that there was a second issue he had with the post:

DID I NOT MAKE IT CLEAR NOT TO POST ANYTHING ABOUT THE GAMES OR TV SHOWS THAT ARE SPOILER-ALERT-WORTHY? STOP IT!!!

Chris is kicked out

On 29 November 2014, Chris went too far, and promoted violence and threats of death while raging at Sega. Even his friends felt he went way too far with his hate, so this caused him to get kicked out of the group forever. Englehardt initially planned to shut down the entire group, but it was hijacked by others and continued into the new year. (?)

This pushed Chris, the negotiating extraordinaire he is, to create a new Facebook page, FIX SONIC'S ARMS IMMEDIATELY, SEGA!!!, which itself was eventually hacked by weens, trolls and other jokesters after the 26 December 2014 incident, who eventually began posting nothing but pictures of Sonic's blue arms, as well as other things mocking Chris.
