Not a Joker fan, I take it?

I guess Chris Chan, (I sometimes wish people would stop pretending every bad Sonic fan is like him) and the old “green eyes in Sonic 4” drama kinda unfortunately made a joke out of people whom have minor complaints, even if they’re being rational/calm about it.
Still, blue arms as you said aren’t the end of the world, and some do overreact, if they feel it ruins the whole character for them, and frankly the main game canon STILL uses flesh colored arms for him. So maybe it’s just to differentiate him from the games, like with the “Sonic Boom” spinoff canon.
