Well, I suppose you're right about them being placed in a more of a traditional horror theme.

And I guess you can blame the numerous morons I've seen who will almost instantaneously hate on something as soon as they find out it's tied to a franchise they despise (with Sonic being one of said franchises).

Doesn't help that a big portion of the Sonic fan characters that people make are unoriginal, overpowered recolors, though.
