So The Kirby Wiki Is Advertising Their List Of Misconceptions Page, Which Addresses A Lot Of Widespread

So the Kirby wiki is advertising their list of misconceptions page, which addresses a lot of widespread commonly held beliefs about the Kirby series which are all untrue. Such as "Kirby can fucking talk" and "Kirby doesn't say Poyo" ect. The Kirby wiki is very well written and researched and sourced and articulated in general and this page is a delightful headlined addition.

People have been responding to this by saying "WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR SONIC!" which is true, the problem with that being that the only Sonic wiki is Fandom slop and there isn't an independent fan wiki for Sonic like there is for Kirby. But yes, Sonic would definitely benefit from a misconceptions page. However it would not solve all the problems with misconceptions about Sonic. Because sadly, a good chunk of the perpetuated misconceptions about Sonic are not the result of ignorance, but deliberate malice. Some people are, in fact, spreading what they know to be misconceptions about Sonic ON PURPOSE out of spite.

For example, a Sonic Misconceptions page explaining that it isn't and has never been called "Mobius" in the games wouldn't cut down on people calling it "Mobius" and its inhabitants "Mobians." Because the problem is at least half the people calling it "mobius" KNOW that it ISN'T "mobius", but they insist on calling it that anyway because they hate the video games.

"Oh they don't hate the video games just because they prefer the comicsblahblahblah"

yes they do

and I'm tired of giving them the benefit of the doubt

They DON'T actually enjoy the comics at all. They JUST hate the video games.

Know how I know?

Because they are INCAPABLE of saying a SINGLE positive thing about the comics WHATSOEVER without bringing up how shit they think the games are.

If they "just" enjoyed the comics, they shouldn't have to mention the existence of the games AT ALL.

But they don't, and can't, ever JUST say what they like about the comics. They ALWAYS make snide remarks at best against the video games, if not base the entire foundation of their espoused enjoyment for the comics off of asserting how much "better" they are than the games.

So no. They do not call it Mobius because they prefer the comics.

They call it mobius because they HATE the video games.

50% of the people calling it mobius do so BECAUSE they HATE the video games

the other half have heard the lie told 1000 times and assume it to be truth.

A misconceptions page about Sonic wouldn't be an instant fix, because the fact of the matter is the enemies are inside the gates. And frankly, I fear such a page would simply become a editing war waged by people trying to exploit its existence to PERPETUATE misconceptions.
