TH-cam has a huge problem. There are an abundance of animation channels using Sonic as a vessel to subject young kids into watching disturbing, fetishy, low quality videos with shocking and traumatizing content. Let's expose these channels learn why the TH-cam algorithm has a huge flaw. This is a deep dive into the disturbing Sonic "Kids" content on TH-cam.

that how I'm feel
th-cam.com/video/xj_iLQLc-fU/w-d-xo.html
Definitely. I as a 20 year old even gets disturbed when I see the thumbnails, let alone the videos. Never watched a single one of them though, I'm not interested in something that will most likely annoy me lol. But I always wondering what these videos are and who makes them and what their intentions are.
I remember when I was a kid, probably around 2008, watching similar kind of videos with a friend sometimes, but back then it wasn't easy to find content like this, if there was any to find any at all! Nowadays however, that's a different story...
TLDR: So yeah, I think it's kinda toxic for children. And with "kinda" I mean VERY.
Definitely. I saw some other weird thumbnails for other kids videos for anime which involved highly detailed and uncensored ge*etalia…
@@Matwon Yep. I think feel the same now :P
I somehow knew they were going to end up like this just by the titles and thumbnails.
The scary thing is that one day... there's going to be people that thought this stuff was nostalgic. Y'know, the ones that say these videos were their entire childhood.
If I see anyone say that I'll give them the same treatment Will smith gave to Chris Rock
I feel like this is some sort of weird social experiment to try too turn a generation of kids into degenerates.
oh god....
too bad they'll never be able to leave comments on the videos talking about that lmao
I mean it already happened with me and weird fucked up mlp content
Never thought I’d hear the phrase “Spongebob stole Sonic’s girl” be uttered by anyone other than odd fanfic writers, but here we are.
Aw hellll naaw spobnicebmob stle stomic's grill😭😭😭😭😭
Or shitposters
That’s good meme material, I could work with that 💀
I crack ship it.
Sounds more like a shitpost than a fanfic, but yeah, never thought I would see someone unironically say something like that
I find it laughable that the self-proclaimed “Fastest Thing Alive” wasn’t fast enough to save Amy and avoid getting himself hit by a car at the same time.
Heh that didn't pass my mind while watching the video that is kind of funny.
Not fast enough
I find it funny how even SEGA has to downplay Sonic at times for the sake of ✨plot✨ like in Lost World or SatSR. It’s like the character is so broken they don’t know what to do XD. Their plot is a lot less shitty though (even though some games are complete trash), at least there’s not constant plot points about death. Sure, a serious story with actual stakes would be great when executed RIGHT. I think almost all of us agree that even the meta era is better than this shit (and by shit I mean the low-budget animation “kids” channels).
@@nenon_night 120kmh vs Mach 15 is too slow. Lol.
@@elisabethsun7059 It's more appropriate to children than these videos will ever be, that's for sure
I think it's strange how horror animations like Smile HD or Rainbow Factory are considered "adult animations", and yet these "kids" videos, which are likely much more terrifying are considered "family-friendly" by TH-cam and geared towards kids. Like, I need some explanation here.
one possible (and very likely) explanation: people are stupid
Smile HD is worst
It’s so weird how when I was a kid, I found a lot of questionable and disturbing Sonic stuff, but this content wasn’t targeted to kids, meanwhile, this stuff is just the same, but with the intention of being shown to kids. Weird as hell.
Right?! And I thought deviant art back in the day was worse than "kids content" that kids were getting
@@kamikazeyo1379 DevianArt is being the heaven compared to these whatever that crap videos are.
I remember watching a lot hyper violent Sonic flash animations back in the day and playing weird joke games on sites that just took a bunch of stuff from Newgrounds.
@Dan Raji Yes!
*cough* Sonic vore animations *cough*
A lot of this "kids content" in general is not only bad but also not good to show kids and I think Sonic "kids content" is probably one of the worst offenders. Kids deserve more than this weird bottom of the barrel crap. Just because they aren't as concious about good and bad content doesn't mean people should take advantage of that.
They should just watch the existing Sonic shows.
@@spongebobmaster yeah
I mean there is actual GOOD Sonic content on here. Like those people acting as the Sonic characters (ex being “ask the Sonic heroes” and those other channels I forget the name of) there’s also stopmotion and plush vids. Hell I’d even say stuff like Sonic Shorts and Nazo Unleashed are good for kids. Sure Sonic Shorts might have a lot of mature humor. But it’s MILES(pun not intended) better then this crap.
@@ToonyTails This
and that's why my action kids show is going to roast those creeps if they touch my show.
I know you'll probably never read this, but I think I have an explanation for this phenomenon of "tragedy-core" children's content. See, when I was a child, there weren't any real prevalent kid's channel content farms on youtube, so all I watched was essentially the good shit you'd relate to the mid 2000s youtube experience. One video, however, stuck out to me. MANY people remember it, a video with the title of "Pac Man Movie", a video where a derpy looking orange ghost is sent to die in a war against pacman, and sadness ensues. It's strange looking back at it, it was a video that always fascinated me, ever since I was atleast five years old or so. Nowadays it's tough to think who that video was made for, as our correlation of crappily animated tragic content for children is a pretty new thing, in the era of a more marketable and accessible youtube.
So, while I'd like to point fingers at these and say "ew spidelsagate" with the claim of fetishistic content (afterall, Dan Schneider exists), I believe that the people who run these successful content farms simply know that children have an odd fascination with tragedy. It's not even for a very weird reason, it's just a very distant, new feeling that they're fascinated by, just kind of exploited for profit. I say this as a grown up zoomer btw, I'm the closest you have to an explanation for this sort of thing.
That's actually pretty fascinating, I think it's overlooked that children get hooked on things they can tell they wouldn't normally see in their content. they know this is off limits but it's there. It's a very primal thrill thats just pumped into you
Yep, they are using the curiosity children have for darken contents and things like pregnancy against them.
Like deer in headlights
I remember that "pac man movie" video
I've been trying to look for it for like 11 years to no avail
@@kagevista3375 oops, my mistake, it's actually called "Pac Man Story"
I've watched any real Sonic fan animations by different true Sonic fan content creators but I've never encountered these Sonic "kids" content in my life until I discovered this explanation video by random. I feel sick watching these kinds of "kids" content! It creeps me out!
Thank you for your explanation and exposing Sonic "kids" content, Chaomix! You have my respect! I hope this video will reach out to new Sonic fans or content creators who didn't seen it.
These "kids" videos were always very off putting and creepy to me.
It's like a creepy pasta or scp brought into real life.

I could not agree more, the kids content on TH-cam is disturbing. Send help I have seen non kids things on TH-cam, I thought this disturbing content was purged from the platform ._.
wow, you explained the issue with kids content on youtube in a way better than I've seen anyone else do. with all the elsagate stuff a few years back, I never really saw anyone make a video explaining how big this issue actually was including all the nuance like you did in this one. very good job
Hello billeh when will you upload videos?
why haven't you uploaded anything billehbawb :(
WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!
@@DemonAsta3 when he wants to.
Billeh is following cybershell's example
all these 'for kids' videos of all these characters from all these different franchises and stuff are what i believe to be horrific fever dreams all the characters have
because trust me i have horrid dreams just like that
The reason we should check what our kids watching is because some of the scenes can be seen inappropriate for the kids and check what those channels might contain
I found these about a month ago when doing keyword research over Sonic the hedgehog on TH-cam to see what sticks and what doesn't and OMG. It's terrifying because they know these very strong algorithm tactics to get on the board. And because they are low effort, they are able to upload consistently. People like this know how to manipulate the algorithm and children and it's disturbing as hell. And I would bet many of these videos consist of these tragedies to avoid being marked for kids. "Would a kids animation really have such violence or drinking?" while knowing FULLY WELL that's who their target audience is. Just look at the titles. They are SPEAKING TO KIDS.
Yep. The people behind these are sickos, plain and simple!
Me too
@Blobber if it makes u feel any better, sonic is definitely not the only character to get videos like this…
@Diego Sanchez yep I had Newgrounds 👍
I'm glad I grew up with Sprite Sonic Animations.
They said, “think about the children!”
Chaomix said, “Don’t worry, I got that part covered.”
This is why I often say that parents really need to be aware of what their kids are doing online. People forget that TH-cam is not a kid-friendly space, nor has it ever been.
Nah kids will live and learn.
And will try to be hanging on the edge of tomorrow.
@@With_Love_Ripu From The Works Of Yesterday
sonicgate is a thing now. i hate my life.
I saw the cat falling asleep 😍
I'm looking at a pair of floating black leather gloves behind me pulling a brick to them from the other side of the room with telekinesis. They seem unhappy about something. Probably the stuff in this video.
Can't wait for yakuza gate (Another sega ip that was underated as hell) to be a thing after this! All hail the rotten brain of children
What's Next? Mariogate?
@@bukywashere that was already a thing.
The fact that these videos are actually darker than Eggman blowing up the moon, Maria getting shot, and Shadow murdering GUN soldiers
Shadow committed genocide, Jesus the adventure series is dark.
Plus some stuff in the Archie comic
aw hell naw
egmen blw up gru plnrt😭
@@awwhellnawww9239 You mean the moon, right? I guess that means bananas are Minion Food.
This Sonic kids content seems much more darker than Doom Slayer murdering demons in Doom Eternal.
I will say one thing... shadow giving money to the kids is more in character than what the hell idw comics and Sega is doing with him LMAO
IKR LIKE BRUH HOW CAN A SHITTY SCAMP VIDEO BE BETTER THAN I JUST I *dies*
@@blossomnosleep You KNOW something is wrong when a crappy Sonic "kids" videos portray Shadow better than Sega has for over a decade.....
What a video game company 🤦🏾♂️.
Are you blaming idw or Sega? because if you are blaming idw, then you are wrong
@@benwillyson2612 BOTH
@@Jv-MAX-CRINSOM okay hear me out, I know shadow was potrayed horribly in the idw comic. But if you have to blame anyone it would have to be Sega with their restricted mandates
I saw one of these videos. Even after the COPPA violation causing kids content being demonetized, Elsagate-like videos are still a problem on TH-cam. This is why parents need to wise up and keep an eye on what their kids are watching.
This is the second wave of elsagate
Once I saw a video of these crappy kids animations that is long 48 hours. I'm not kidding!
TH-cam videos can only be 12 hours long. Are you sure it wasn't a live stream?
You would literally be better off just handing your kid a copy of any Sonic game, even Shadow the Hedgehog, and telling them to play that. Far more engaging, and doesn’t expose your kid to stuff that will fuck up their development later on in life.
Shadow the hedgehog if fun as hell and I will defend it to my grave
@@rankrodent2772 same
When I was a kid I played alot of games that are like shadow the hedgehog and all of those aren't half disturbing like those "kids content"
Even Rush is fine. And one of the best handheld Sonic games to give a kid.
@ferret I try to take somewhat of the opposite approach with my four haha. We have a “family” Switch that we all play on (provided you get your school/homework done and such), but 99% of the time they’re playing the NES/SNES/N64 classics (their choice), and I’m hanging around to help when they’re stuck because I love all those games and I can’t help myself. My son now has Mario themed everything hahaha. Totally worth the 50 bucks a year imo.
Online homework notwithstanding, fuck them tablets
As someone who's an artist and knows allot of friends over on the NSFW Side of things... I can tell you that I've never seen or heard about any Fetishes related to Car Crashes. What I'm pretty sure is happening here though is that these Channels just look at what Sonic Videos get the most clicks...
And then from that, just try to make out a Story out of the title of the Video rather than planning a Story first.
Because Drama and "Sad Stories" engage the most kids as they feel like it's something they've never seen before.
Well, the "death bed" thing *is* a fetish actually, so it wouldn't be surprising if car crashes and such also were.
There are so many fetishes that sometimes even NSFW artists themselves get surprised by them.
Bro why you been watching Sonic R34
Edit: This is a Joke. Don’t let it go over your head as it did for other idiots.
@@Terminal_Apotos they never said they did intentionally, they said they knew people, presumably in a fanart community
I feel embarrassed to admit that I have heard about car crash kinks, although from what I've heard it's more like crashing into a wall than running someone over
@@noaht2005 I know what’s going on, you watch it too and you’re just covering for him
It's about time a big sonic youtuber confronted this. Been around for over a decade
9:43 oh yea it’s fine guess they forgot their original child just fu**ing died and just immediately moved on with a robot replica
I feel like I haven’t seen/heard about this enough so I’ll say it here: not only should you NOT comment on those videos (giving them more traction) but you SHOULD report them... If they get enough reports TH-cam will have to take down the video... Please keep this kind of content away from kids
Check out @19:50!
But they don't do anything that bad
Besides youtube let's ytk content creators do what ever they want
Besides I got bigger fish to fry
I don’t think you’ll be able to comment on those videos anyways cause of coppa
but don't these channels tend to upload videos every hour, reporting a single video doesn't seem like it would do much
@@Josuh Isn't it possible to report an entire channel? Especially if one of the reasons you can give for sure is false advertising; if they're truly "for kids" like they say they are, they should be on TH-cam Kids, but clearly they're not, and they're also clearly not for kids due to the topics they indulge in, so either way it's false advertising (and mentally far worse than just that, but that's the main point you can use against all of them in an algorithm as inhuman as YT's)
This is why I can't just search up "sonic" on TH-cam because all I get are the kind of videos mentioned here. Yes, I think it's disturbing and it has no place here.
i forgot why i don't search sonic on youtube, this is probably why
I always search Sonic in TH-cam. I never see stuff like this, and thank goodness.
true, every time i search sonic to find someone who makes good sonic content,some really cool sonic fanmade animations,reviews of some hacks,romhacks,gameplays,and some fanmade battles,then only these yt kids videos appear, these yt kids sonic videos should be on youtube kids,Oh wait... THEY SHOULDN'T EXIST
Me too
Right
For some reason sonic was one of the kid friendly franchises that had more adult content exposed without actively looking for it. I remember when I was younger and looking up sonic amvs on TH-cam (which was probably around the early 2010s) there was quite a bit of mature fanart being shown. However I think this is worse since it’s adult content that’s actually targeted towards kids, I hate that children are being raised with that kind of sonic content especially since it has nothing to do with the sonic lore
The funny thing is sonic's reaction time would be more than enough to run away from a car if he's truly as fast as he should be.
And yet, there are fan animations where he gets fucking shot.
Letting an iPad babysit your kid should be called a form of child neglect. I see parents all the time at the grocery store, just letting their kid watch whatever on youtube on their tablets. The laziness is just terrifying.
Me too! Every time I see a iPad toddler on their mommy's phone it just concerns me.
I don't understand why these people do have a children in the first place? Like... For what sake you reproduce, you amoeba?!
The whole horror! The horror!
Yeah, like if they're just gonna use TH-cam instead of yt kids, they should probably make a playlist or Smith of APPROPRIATE videos
This is actually one of the reasons I don't wanna be a parent. I'd most definitely succumb to this
Man, I've watched Roger von Deir Weidge Sonic parodies in minutos my whole life, in fact the sole reason I wanted to create a Sonic channel was because of those parodies. Now, you might think "Oh but a parody of a game, is not the same as these low level cartoons/animations" but the general public or the main TH-cam algorithm might not think the same way. It may start classifying every single Sonic animated cartoon or parody as kids content. In fact, in the 90s sonic was not aimed for kids, but for Teenagers.
AOSTH: you wot m8
Remember when TH-cam actually cared about content creators, me too.
I think in the 90's, Sonic was made for older kids (like kids who are 10 or 12 for example)
@@Spongyboi897 it was sega core marketing campaing. look it up.
In Sonic's early life, SEGA made some ads for adult comics in Britain that had a lot more explicit language than the televised adverts. Just shows how Sonic was originally aimed at older people, unlike the Mario series.
12:10 When a low quality kids video still manages to make a better Shadow then Sega in the last 10 years
my little sister occasionally watches this shit and even worse my mom knows i am a sonic fan so i fear that this is what she thinks sonic is
her watching this is pretty tame compared to the stuff i was watching at her age/ even younger though. *flashbacks to accidentally spelling 'undertale' as 'undertail'*

Wow I was just watching a video about SpongeBob children's content and that video of sonic proposing to Amy has the same story as one of the videos mentioned on the SpongeBob one these are some creatively bankrupt videos
Shadow and Knuckles got drip: 6:21
And iphones
The Sonic series and its fans can be be a great place but when it's not...it's _really_ not
I don’t consider the creators of those horrific videos to be “Sonic fans”, they seem to profit off of Sonic if anything.
I’m almost positive these people aren’t fans and are simply using a familiar and popular IP to lure people in for views.
@@chaomix Well, that makes me a lot more hopeful, surprisingly enough.
Ah ah no, don't put this on the fans please, clearly these channels aren't "fans".
@@corruptedteka Don't worry, they've taught me better now
The "for kids" setting was put in specifically so that TH-cam don't have to actually put in effort and care about Elsagate videos anymore. As always, when they are forced to act and not given the choice, they make things worse. TH-cam has not made a positive change in 10 years. Demanding they fix a genuine problem like this, it can only end badly. Because they'll come up with ANY option that's not "search through and deleted the bad channel" because that's work.
We need to get the company a new CEO, and I can’t restate that enough

@@sentry_repair_mann We need Jawed to come back as TH-cam CEO
@@maas1208 yeah. Screw u Susan Wabajack
Sadly, they can't just delete a bad channel, if that channel didn't brake any guidelines. They need to change their guidelines to not allow these types of videos, and that will fix the problem, until these perverts will find a way to get around the algorithm.
Id much rather scroll through 120 pages of Sonic R34 than have to watch a _single_ Family Friendly Sonic video

Snuff fetish - a fetish surrounding things dying or being killed.
There are also fetishes for pretty much anything, though I do not know the name for all of them, fetishes, unlike 'philia's, tend to have the common name of the desired content in the name - such as an inflation fetish.

Yeah, a lot of people have covered this topic yet nothing changed
People need to sue TH-cam for not just flagging Sonic related stuff. But for debunking subscribers animations that they worked so hard to create. They need to know what everyone thinks about their creations. Not just kids
8:11 - Oh my god, you are right about the budget. They can't even properly spell words !
Animatoin.
Thanks for exposing the stupidity TH-cam has over YT Kids and how dark these can be, Chaomix. I find it extremely disappointing that they punish those content creators that do warn their public and even provide information in their description about what the video will be about yet TH-cam decides to punish them.

TH-cam does not give a shit.
@@ChiefMedicPururu Social medias, Reddit mods and Twitter/TikTok obsessed tweens don't care either. They are all as scummy as modern YT
As far as I’m concerned, TH-cam qualifies a video as “kids” content as long as the video doesn’t have any swear words.
They only add inappropriate themes to these supposed kids videos because those attract children more than actual kid friendly videos
7:23
*Bruh they're legit adding FNF corruption shit into this*
They milking fnf too
Iam 12 now and when I was about 6 or so this kind of "kids content"
was really popular back then and I feel everly grateful that I knew back then this kind of stuff didn't make any sense or meant anything to me, and I feel infinitely lucky
9:03 Surprised you didn't mention that this channel is apparently verified by TH-cam. That says a *lot* about how the verification process here works.
You know it's bad when a crappy "kids" video has darker subject matter then the source material.
It’s sad when the last vid gets shadow better than the modern games/boom
Daum!
first off I thank the recommended gods of youtube for this gem
(ramble starts below)
I can definitely see the effect that it causes on younger kids because I have a 5 year old sibling that is absolutely attracted to this kind of stuff (albeit not as bad as the ones shown but still pretty bad) as it often includes characters that were originally made to be terrifying (siren head, sonic.exe, ect) along with just the plain characters and while I try to steer him away from it and give him a reason he still watches it (much to my dismay). it had given him reoccurring nightmares at one point and he has a warped sense of reality (especially since he watches a lot of fnf or minecraft based youtube videos). "it's that thing from minecraft/fnf!" and he is pointing to something in real life that he has seen in the games.
It's really sick that some people do this, and I hope we have another purge of these videos (but knowing trends it will eventually happen again with something else unless youtube does something about it again).
Mad respect for u homie! Finally SOMEONE addresses this atrocity on youtube, thank u man, i really appreciate it 😃
yes
I once saw a video of baby sonic and baby shadow fighting as their dads got angry at them, they both start fighting too, then they get kidnapped and baby sonic and shadow save them
@@cakelayer bruhh
Yea
Yes
I’m pretty sure by “children” you mean toddlers. This stuff is for toddlers. Not most children. We really need to specify that. Doesn’t make this any better. I just want people to specify this.
Also there is actual GOOD Sonic content on here. Like those people acting as the Sonic characters (ex being “ask the Sonic heroes” and those other channels I forget the name of) there’s also stopmotion and plush vids. Hell I’d even say stuff like Sonic Shorts and Nazo Unleashed are good for kids. Sure Sonic Shorts might have a lot of mature humor. But it’s MILES(pun not intended) better then this crap.
I remember that sonic plushie series I used to watch like where American sonic (modern) meets British sonic (classic) and then when tails goes on a meltdown cause sonic didn't get him ice cream. :^) ye good old times
I remember watching Sonic Shorts when I was younger, I loved them so much
I grew up on Sonic Shorts but I don't think that was a good thing. Most of the jokes went over my head and I mostly just watched it because I liked sonic and "haha sonic do funny" but in rewatching them I realized there was a lot of racy, insensitive, and very similarly gory material to this video--it's newgrounds content after all. I think that sort of early TH-cam newgrounds content really fucked with me in ways that I'm still learning about as I get older
@@basiltheleafeon At least it was made by actual Sonic fans and made sense though, unlike SonicGate where it’s basically just soulless brainrot
They took eggmans drawings from Sonic paradox when he rocked out to Final Egg music lol
I have like a quote about that… *ahem* “at least OUR cheap looking rigs can do a fricking backflip!”

“How many times do I have to say it?! I’m not a rat! I’m a hedgehog!”
These people are probably displaying their childhood traumas, including dark topics that consumed their rotted mind throughout their life. Now they are gifting them to vulnerable kids and the cycle may continue.
That's just disgusting! Kids deserve way better than these atrocious videos. SHAME ON THE ADULTS WHO THOUGHT THESE VIDEOS WERE A GOOD IDEA TO SHOW TO CHILDREN.
Parents be like
Exactly. Very well put.
You do realize fairytales are meant to be this fucked up, right?
@@justice8718 Gee, maybe that's an issue to confront as opposed to something to just ignore? Maybe the old, conventional "wisdom" that scaring the living hell out of your kid was a good way to teach anything useful (as opposed to a way to control them and limit their understanding of the world) is a bygone tactic that's bygone for a reason.
There's a reason nobody really cares about the original versions of fairytales besides edgy teens and edgy adults discovering it for the first time. The novelty wears off pretty quick.
Stuff like this is the reason why I'm thankful the internet was still relatively new and not as easily accessible when I was growing up. The only computer we had was in the family room and just about everyone could see what you were doing on there. Sure, I still saw some questionable stuff (thanks Newgrounds), but that stuff was obviously bad and I knew it.
Well I didn't expect to see you here. I swear on my life I'm not following you.
Anyways, I whole heartedly agree. My stepmom's kids are constantly glued to her phone or their tablets just to make them shut up, and they watch these type of videos all the time.
You'll never know how annoying and scary it is to hear these videos being played full blast all day when I go to stay with them.
I'm really glad I grew up in the time I did, instead of being raised by TH-cam.

“Elsagate has disappeared, But Sonicgate has appeared”
TH-cam sacrificed so much (and the TH-camrs took so much of the sacrifice) during Elsagate and it still failed to keep filth like those away from the website. every harsh rule, every cruelty added to the algorithm, every new asinine rule, it was all for nothing.
Wow I literally got a few videos of this kind of content suggested before watching this video. I had no idea of this "kids content" related to Sonic being present on TH-cam. As someone who studies kids and teens a lot I can see the huge impact these videos can lead to kids...what might see innocent for us is not to them...some kids can't even distinguish reality from fiction until 6-7 years old...
Glad someone spoke about this!
Tell me; I’m worried about them developing fetishes for death or some of the other bad things in the videos. Could you give any insight on that factor?
The fact that videos like the ones mentioned exist and kids watch them is disheartening. Such videos are at the top of youtube searches for 'sonic' due to the large amount of tags and words in the title, so kids see it and click it, and they continue to watch them. It's horrible, especially when there is actual sonic content for kids (Full episodes of SATAM, AOSTH, Boom, and Sonic X uploaded officially by wildbrain or TMS) for free, yet kids still end up on whatever you could classify "Sonic gets hit by a car happy ending dead" as.
The video should’ve been marked as adult content
god I miss the days where the weirdest sonic content you would find on youtube was a shadow amv with like a simple plan song or something
Yeah those were my childhood... Not whatever the fuck this is
They give us "Sams" a bad name :( Great video as always dude!
YO Sam!
Let's just hope someone from my family doesn't say "this is my entire childhood!"
They’re definitely taking advantage of the algorithm. My guess is that the shocking themes make for good thumbnails
I'll definitely share this video with my family with young kids. Especially with my brother who has a son who's getting into Sonic
Good idea, don’t let the cool dude get messed up by these.
"Are children just super interested in these morbid topics, which makes these videos super algorithm friendly?"
This is the explanation in my opinion. They are interesting and important topics that aren't actually unusual to see in stories for children. I think the real issue in this case is that these stories are lazy and don't make sense. They use good character designs to clickbait and interesting topics to keep everyone's attention.
@Pearl Easy way to fix that
ACTUALLY EXPLAIN THE SUBJECT MATTER TO UR KIDS
I remember being very young and coming across some lets play of a porn Sonic game called Project X: Love Potion Disaster and looking back on it, I'm wondering how tf did it fly under TH-cams radar. I've seen my 4 year old brother watch Sonic exe videos and being really concerned about what could possibly be going through his mind when watching it. It's disturbing how so many kids come across depraved shit like this and parents not having a single clue about the media their children are receiving.
I can like imagine a horror movie type of video, yet still accessible to kids AND labeled as “made for kids” by TH-cam (wouldn’t be a surprise tbh):
*person gets chased by killer, family gets chopped to pieces, person becomes alcoholic, literally is about to hang themselves, goes over to killer, shoots, eats the dead body, video ends with person hanging on a noose in their bedroom*
***happy children’s music plays as the outro***
***funny cartoon sound effects and voices throughout***
I cannot Search sonic on TH-cam without any of these cursed videos appearing
Feel bad for your algorithm, but this was still worth doing and getting the word out. Bless ya, Chaomix.❤️
Oh hey its the dude from the amiiben server
kids should play sonic games instead of watching these weird videos.
I specifically looked this up because I've been getting these in my recommend for a while now and it's creeping me the heck out. I wanted to know that others are seeing it too. I wish these channels would go away.
Thanks for covering this, it's so gross 💀
Love your Sonic and Knuckles Videos!
Kids content covering mature themes is fine shows and movies like Avatar, Ben 10, Generator Rex, Lion King, or Luca. But what these channels are doing is not only exploitive of kids the content itself is well like what you it could lead to deep psychological issues in the future.
Facts! Real kids content should treat the audience with respect while also not getting inappropriate.
@@RealHyperHedgehog yes absolutely
You know its a problem when im too scared to type "sonic" on that TH-cam search bar
I've only seen the thumbnails for these disturbing contents and I can already tell that the vid will be evwn worse... But DEAR GOD MAN, I can't even look at the animation for 1 DAMN SECOND!
"AMY PLEASE COME BACK! BABY SONIC DEAD MARRIAGE SONAMY | Very Sad Story But Happy Ending | POOR SONIC LIFE"
And then their channel name would be like Funny Children Rainbow or some shit.
Also, from a guy who wants a SpongeBob and Sonic crossover... Patrick being the doctor in 10:31 is unironically hilarious, especially considering his actual character.
I'm glad someone spoke up about these "for kids" Sonic animation video's, these video's are gross and really fucking weird. I hope TH-cam somehow finds a way to get rid of them 💀
I wldve thought that fanfiction sonic videos sld stay at dievant art and just let it sit there and be buried. I never thought they wld allowed this and TH-cam don't give a shit about it.
I'm glad you brought this to light since now I can't type " sonic the hedgehog" without seeing disturbing thumbnails of the wrost ways that happen to sonic and his friends.
This is just disgusting and it needs to 🛑.
Ngl, I glued my eyes to your cat in the background this entire time lol
But other than that, great video and you managed to grab my attention for the whole video which is largely credited due to your presentation
Not to mention the creepy fetish with "Shadow & Shrek being pregnant" or "Sonic characters turned to a literal toilet"
I THOUGHT THE SHADOW X SHREK SHIP WAS A MEME WHAT THE FUCK
_"Shadow X Shrek"_ ewwww 🤮
@@alternatenican me too i thought it was just a (weird) meme
Content like this is something I did see as a small kid, and it's affected me rather oddly. I'm really glad more people are talking about content like this, because they're really bad for a developing child's brain. My mom didn't really look at what I watched as a kid because she was super busy, and my dad was usually working when I was younger as well, in case you're questioning my life on TH-cam as an early age. But then as I got older, around 10 and 13 my mom made me get TH-cam kids, where I saw content like this there as well
why yt kids at 10-13
@@With_Love_Ripu she's a helicopter parent
ah cool
Is anyone going to notice his cat at 5:24
Fun fact: A TH-camr named Saber Spark also made a video revolving about TH-cam kids videos where he dives deep into this sort of thing
I’m actually subscribed to Saberspark!
I am pretty sure someordinarygamers has dived into it too
Wait, I remember him!
Deep humor Also made a lot of videos about elsagate
Saberspark’s elsagate video was taken down by TH-cam...
can't believe this stuff still exists. I thought yt had cracked down on it *nearly 6 years ago!* I think this stuff appeals to kids because it seems mature and 'edgy' due to the adult content but idk
I thought this was gone as well, I hated that this garbage existed and I am infuriated that some slipped through the cracks and TH-cam overlooked them.
I remember when my younger sister in law was still around like 4 or 5, and I saw her under a blanket watching her tablet so I went to sit with her and see what she was watching and I was MORTIFIED at what she was watching.. it was similar content to the type you described in this video made currently and elsagate as well but with MLP characters..
The scariest part of it to me tho was how she reacted when I tried to tell her she shouldn't be watching that and tried to switch the video to something else.. She wasn't overly violent but you could tell something wasn't really right.. she got more p*ssed than I used to when my mom would tell me it's time to stop watching TV.. Of course I told her guardians immediately and thankfully they made sure she was only on the Kids app after that, but I know some of this f*cked content can slip thru the cracks and make it on there too.
So to me the scariest thing is the way these videos effect the psychology of the children watching them, especially when they are very young.. it can traumatize them and honestly normalize violent behavior, temper tantrums and hostile reactions to things that make them upset..
So yeah seeing these types of videos making their rounds again but this time with Sonic at the height of his mainstream popularity (with the new movies being pretty aimed at kids) it's scary to think how many kids will accidentally be exposed to this content and potentially fall down the rabbit hole of really not-ok Sonic fan content... you know what I mean...
The same thing lowkey happened to my 4 year old brother too, but with FNAF characters. You see, my brother watches a handful of these types of videos, I once caught him watching a video about Gregory fkn farting in Sun's face. But not only that, he watches videos of them containing murder, but, that is an appropriate topic for FNAF, that's almost the whole point? Yeah, but, he enjoys that kind of content, he laughs everytime someone gets punched, stabbed, even run over by a car with blood splitting everywhere. I talk to my parents about, but the only reason they try to stop him from watching this is because he has speech delay, and there is literally no to little dialogue in this videos, and they say that it'll make his disorder even worse, so they tell my Ates (care takers/ older sister or female guardian figures) to stop making him watch that. But sadly, they really don't care at the end of the day, and they let him watch FNAF/FNF/PoppyPlaytime/Sonic/WhateverGate. But, at least my sister only watches Special Agent Oso and My Little pony songs, I taught her that since she's the least stubborn out of all three of us.
And I'm so happy that someone cares about their younger family members and what they are currently in taking on their Tablets/IPads
(sorry for the long and bad grammar paragraph or smth, it is not my first language)
The Kids app is still loaded with that content.
5:45 Seeing Bouncy Shadow is somehow disturbing to me.
But ironically at 12:13 he’s more in character than he’s been for the last few years. Sad.
I’m actually surprised that they write Shadow as a good guy in these animations. I’d kind of expect him to just be a bad guy.
This type of videos are just weird and creepy as heck, epic video btw! ( and 5:18 your cat caught my attention LOL)
These stories are pulling more views than the trailer for the upcoming Sonic game, my god
Omg I hate that you’re right LOL
@@chaomix I found a fetish in the comments it was called “snuff fetish” the fetish of death
7:26 "Utter Tragedy"
Restroom survival guide with SONIC
OMG 💀💀💀💀💀💀
One of my friends little brother is like 6 or 5 years old, they REALLY love sonic like I do. But scary thing is that they might stumble across this horrible gem and get influenced by it considering that they're too easily to be influenced and watches TH-cam sonic content aton just for babies/little kids
12:11 They kinda got Shadow more accurate than Sonic Team does nowadays. Imagine.
I take it that you deleted your watch and search history afterwards, right?
Great video.
2:24 please tell me that song I wanna mash it up with sonic unleashed cool night edge
I hope they age restrict this content.
