The internet can be a fickle place. One day, you have the number one movie at the 2020 box office, and the next, people want you cancelled on Twitter. This seems to be the case for Sonic the Hedgehog, as #CancelSonicTwitter is trending on the social media platform. The problem is, no one quite seems to know why the hashtag has been amplified! Some think it has to do with irritation over a fan game, while others attribute it to unhappiness with the general direction of the video game franchise. Of course, it could just be that Sonic fans were looking for a new hashtag to discuss the blue blur. Regardless, Sonic doesn't seem to be going anywhere, right now!

Finally. The true culprit has been exposed!

#cancelsonictwitter was started by Dr. Eggman so he could create his Eggman Twitter empire

On the flip side, it's nice to get 3D and 2D games.

#CancelSonicTwitter is now a thing because one guy is upset that the Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase is divided. Perhaps if SEGA applied an ounce of consistency to the franchise, they wouldn't create new factions of Sonic fans with each release?

Just a thought.

Even the official account weighed in!

We all have our own likes and dislikes, and that's what makes us unique! Don't let our differences get in the way of appreciating all of the good that brings us together. pic.twitter.com/jdxuqGWuh7
