The furriness, the perceived edginess/coolness, the billion and one conflicting continuities arising from the various games/cartoons/comic books, the fact that Sonic never really successfully made the jump to 3D despite a lot of efforts. And maybe the idea of an "original" fan character modeled after a weird looking…
