allow me to explain my self.
Luke Smith argues for the following: certain behavior patterns, plots and actions depicted in Saturday morning animated media affect the developing mind of a child in a way that leaves them emotionally or mentally handicapped. For example, the constant return to cliche of the series (such as the Hero must always fail to attain this one thing (usually a love interest), or every new week there must be a new marketable villian), grotesque depictions of a certain part of human anatomy or physiology (dubbed by internet meme culture as writer's vaguely disguised fetish) and et cetera, may and probably will alter young mind's patterns applicable for real life in such a way that will make him a retard.
I however, think that this is not a cartoon problem. I think it's an autism problems. I. E. autistic kids are predetermined to obtain undesirable "ticks" or "mannerisms", often misinterpreted from mimicking a thing normal people do, since they already have a chance to be a drooling cripple. So, what I am saying is, normal people will witness Sonic and move on with their normal lives to bang Jessica and shove nerds in lockers. People on the autistic spectrum, however, upon experiencing sonic will have a malfunction in behavioral adaptation mechanism, causing them to base their whole personality over Sonic and die as a kissles hugless 4ever alone loser virgin. Luke Smith, wanting to create a loyal following, gaslights these puny retards into believing that their aspie obsession is not their fault, but a fault of the hecking modern world and cartoon writers. Which is obviously false. They just wanted to make a buck.
In conclusion, I think that all autists should be executed via eugenics and then burn in hell for all eternity.
