The Zer0finix Experience | The Sonic OC Predator

In 2021, a popular Bruneian Sonic fan artist was allegedly caught grooming a 17-year-old, about 5 years younger than her. Even before then, she was a problematic Internet figure who was involved in one incident after another.

This video explores the artist's history, her rise to popularity, and her downfall. Simultaneously, this video attempts to analyse and criticise the nature of the Sonic The Hedgehog fandom, which this artist grew up in.

After a 3-year long hiatus, Zip Zap returns with a new video and an even newer format. This might be the start of long-form videos where I passionately break down fandom-related issues like these.

This video was mostly produced in August 2021, with on-and-off production towards this upload date. The reasoning is because of a Lovecraftian horror of buggy video production software, schoolwork, financial issues, personal projects, freelance work, and jobhunting. Because of this, the video is not the best thing I've ever made. You may notice inconsistent audio quality and editing mistakes.

English, German, and Japanese subtitles coming soon!
