Sometimes the life of a Sonic News reporter can be a messy business. You not only have to cover what Sonic-related content people are playing and reading, but also what they're watching. And, according to adult supersite Pornhub, one of the things a lot of people seem to be watching is... er, well. Porn. Of Sonic.
The company published its annual 'Year in Review' report for 2023 (we won't link it for obvious reasons, but if you're 'interested', it's out there) and there is a section covering Video Games specifically. In it, Sonic the Hedgehog is listed in the Top 10 of Most Searched Video Game Characters. He is bested by some understandable favourites; Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, Tifa from Final Fantasy and Chun Li from... Fortnite???
We won't worry about that minor mistake - we aren't the Street Fighter Stadium here. But it's kind of morbidly impressive that Sonic the Hedgehog beat out (er, pun not intended) a number of other popular characters on the list. We feel comfortable that he ranked higher than Mario though. That seems appropriate.
The fact that this is a ranking for Sonic as a character, not the series in general, and that he appears as the top-ranking male (of which there are few) on the list, is even more surprising.
Pornhub also revealed its Most Searched for Video Games of 2023 in the same report - however Sonic the Hedgehog (the game/series, not the character this time) does not feature. Super Mario does however. Not sure what that says about that. You can see that chart below, if you're interested.
What do you think about this random turn of events? Let us know in the comments section below (but do keep it clean please, we do have Community Rules in place. Innuendos are fine though, we love those).
