They describe the film as "homophobic" and "macho" and invite viewers to go to see Birds of Prey, the movie starring Batman's enemy.
"Whatever you do, don't watch the Sonic movie." Thus begins one of the messages published by a fan of Harley Queen and her most recent film, Birds of Prey, which have pointed to Sonic: The Movie as a "macho" and "homophobic" film. The truth is that the film starring the protagonist of DC Comics has debuted at the box office, something that has served, as published by VG24 / 7, so that some followers of Harley Queen try to undermine the possible success of the SEGA mascot in the cinemas
“I took my husband to see Sonic: The Movie and I was horrified to see that there were homophobic insults that were used along the tape. Fortunately, Birds of Prey were broadcasting in the other room, so my family and I had a better experience, ”says a tweeter.
“I have been the victim of a horrendous hate crime when I was watching Sonic: The Movie at the cinema, when those two white men called me fag and spit on me. Going to see Birds of Prey made me feel safe going back to the movies, ”he explains with a man with the Harley Queen avatar. “My children left the room in the middle of Sonic: The Movie without me. I found them watching Birds of Prey instead, ”says another tweeter, also with the avatar DC character.
Bird's of Prey fans seeing the Sonic Movie as a threat to their dumb Harley Quinn movie flopping at the box office and trying to spread lies about the Sonic Movie to make people not wanna see it is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Redesign and new release date
The feature film based on the SEGA character was scheduled for November 2019, but Sonic's design did not please the viewers, so they decided to take a few months, delay the premiere and restyle the most famous porcupine of video games.
As for Sonic: The film includes homophobic content as defended by those who have entrenched themselves in the tweet wars, it is still too early to know, since the film has not reached theaters. It will be on February 14, in full Valentine, when Sonic step on the accelerator and run at full speed to defeat the evil Robotnik, antagonist of the saga and main enemy in the film. Jim Carrey puts voice and face to the Machiavellian doctor, who may also have fallen into the trap of insults on Twitter. Will it be a parody?
