So, someone brought up the Sega Power magazine and the letters section it had:
As it turns out, Sonic likes wearing a Nazi Swastika armband!
I'm surprised that this even made it through editorial back then.
Nazi's aren't "edgy kids of the street " they are goddmn nazi's my guy. It feels like you are conflating multiple things and its a weird conflation. Like the fucking weird nazi shit is the problem. Not your issue with the guy working at hot topic or whateverwhat the fuck?
I can only speak by Nintendo's Brazilian magazine of back in the day, but was Nintendo Power this grotesque? SEGA definitely wanted to embrace the image of edgier kids of the street, and as always, looked dumb in the end
I mean, obviously; shit like that shouldn't be tolerated; I just wondered how they were even approved to be in the magazine to begin with.Nazi's aren't "edgy kids of the street " they are goddmn nazi's my guy
Sonic in the comic been on some weird centrist both sides shit these days , and that's another conversation to be had. Hopefully evan fixes thatNow look at Sega? Sonic hates gun and Kiryu says trans rights. lol
Probs Nazi's on staff or people who tolerated them because they were white enough to think it was a joke and not analyze anything that was going on in the picture. Tale as old as time. Its like something awful people coming out later to realize all that anti furry rhetoric was just thinly veiled homophobia that contributed to making the modern nazi movement. Folks don't think about what they allow how it effects people. They just want engagementI mean, obviously; shit like that shouldn't be tolerated; I just wondered how they were even approved to be in the magazine to begin with.
This is what I came in to say. Everything from gaming magazines to gaming ads...they really didn't give a shitThe 90s were the fucking wild west in the game industry. Its astonishing how much shit went under the radar.
probably the former, since they even described the drawing with "a rightwing Sonic".

Early game magazines had content that was 100% not appropriate for my little kid eyes. Nintendo Power had some disgusting ads in particular. So, this isn't totally surprising.
Ok mods you can perma me I've seen all I need to see on this site.
I'm sure he is easily findable online.
