Published November 15, 2026

Also called Ally Sonic, this reaction image pairs Sonic the Hedgehog with a blue speech bubble reading "My fucking god! These bitches gay! Good for them! Good for them." First surfacing on Instagram in August 2019, it turned into a go-to queer-affirming reaction across Twitter, Tumblr and Reddit, and by mid-2020 it had been remixed into K-pop recreations and a viral Gangnam Style edit.

Overview

The Ally Sonic image sticks a low-resolution Sonic the Hedgehog next to a blue Sonic Says speech bubble reading "My fucking god! These bitches gay! Good for them! Good for them." People drop it under any post, text screenshot or news item involving two characters, celebrities or strangers being queer together, with Sonic standing in as an enthusiastic straight ally13.

The format sits inside the wider ironic Sonic Says tradition, where edits from the 1990s PSA segments got rewritten with absurd or profane captions through 2018 and 20192. Later entries swap the Sonic art for other characters saying the same line, like a K-pop photo of Joon captioned with the exact phrase4, or a possum6, while keeping the cadence of the doubled "Good for them" intact.

On August 5, 2019, Instagram user hyulloh posted the low-res Sonic image captioned "My fucking god! These bitches gay! Good for them! Good for them," picking up over 1,500 likes in the years after1. Know Your Meme logs this as the earliest known upload but notes it is unclear whether hyulloh actually drew the edit or reposted it from elsewhere3.

The caption itself grew out of the ironic Sonic Says reaction format that had been circulating on Twitter and Reddit since 2018, in which a crudely drawn Sonic delivers an off-color one-liner in his trademark blue text box23.

How It Spread

The image moved onto Twitter on December 22, 2019, when @reactjpg posted it to their reaction-image account and picked up more than 500 likes5. A month later, on January 25, 2020, @jooniesdimpl swapped Sonic for K-pop singer Joon while keeping the exact wording, one of the first same-caption recreations4.

Tumblr and Reddit carried it into 2020. A screenshot of a since-deleted Tumblr post using the image as an in-text reaction hit r/gay_irl on February 9, 2020, drawing over 1,800 upvotes, and the same screenshot was reposted to r/tumblr on May 5, 2020, where it cleared 2,100 upvotes7. On May 25, 2020, YouTuber Princess Sylvysprit uploaded a "Gangnam Style" edit dubbing the phrase over Psy's chorus, which pulled more than 55,000 views8, and on February 5, 2021, Luke Correia posted a voice-over of the original image that reached over 307,000 views9.

Later reuse leaned on the catchphrase alone. On December 17, 2020, Instagram account bisexual_bitches reposted a rancid.possum edit that put the line over a possum photo, drawing roughly 4,900 likes3, and on July 2, 2022, Tumblr user coralinejones captioned a Stranger Things screenshot of Nancy with the "ally Sonic look on her face," cementing Ally Sonic as the shorthand name for the format3.
