Blog:Grust Tears Apart Why We Think Sonic Should (And Will) Be Gay

A few months ago, the Sonic movie dominated the box office despite cries from feminazis whining about Bird of Prey (it is an SJW film, the director herself even wanted the movie to smash "the Patriarchy") flopping. Knowing Birds of Prey couldn't beat Sonic, TheGamer came up with an article called Why We Think Sonic Should (And Will) Be Gay obviously as a consolation for Sonic winning the box office (that's what some anti-SJws believe but it's not entirely proven). The article was heavily hated according to the comments. Being bi myself my opinion on the article is very negative. Keep in mind though it's mostly stupid dumb clickbait designed to trigger emotions for ad revenue so I wont be linking it and as Robyn of Anime America said you should never click on articles like these for the reasons I just said. However, due some requests, I am going to rip this article a new one. Let's get started.

1. He's Never Been That Interested in Amy: So this is a reason he should be gay? Sorry but that's a bull crap reason. Even without Amy, he's been interested in other girls in other media too. In the Archie Comics as well as SatAM, he's been interested in Princess Sally Acorn and married her in the comics becoming king of Mobius and having two kids with her. In an episode of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, he fell for a female robot who redeemed herself because of Sonic's love (though she eventually became Robotnik's son's girlfriend). He's even shown attraction to Princess Ellie in Sonic 06. And finally there are some small hints he may indeed have a thing for Amy. In Sonic Unleashed when Amy walks away from him while he's a werehog, he seems upset about it. In Sonic X, he outright said he loves Amy in what was originally meant to be the series finale. And in Black Knight, he was supposed to be on date with Amy when he got trapped in the storybook. He might have feelings for her but he's likely not ready to be tied down as it would get in the way of his carefree lifestyle.

2. Sonic and Tails Could Become More Than Just Friends: Sonic and Tails are indeed more than friends. Tails is Sonic's adopted brother figure. Tails looks up to Sonic like a little brother looks up to the older sibling. This is actually his focus in the first Sonic Adventure series to prove his worth to his brother. Plus umm Tails is 8 and Sonic is 15 so thanks for the nausea fuel TheGamer.

3. He Has a lot of Chemistry With Knuckles: 5 words. Knuckles and Rouge are canon. Knuckles and Rouge have feelings for each other but won't admit to it. Sonic is a good friend and rival to Knuckles but that's it. Seriously two people of the same gender can't be just friends? In fact not once in that entire article is Rouge ever mentioned. In fact it looks more like some fanboy's yaoi ship fantasy than "professional" journalism.

4. Gay Is The Way: LGBT is not represented enough? Sorry but it's the exact opposite. It's now shoved in people's faces so much that tolerance for it is actually going down (even GLAAD admits tolerance is going down). In fact it's now so annoying even other gay people don't want to be associated with the "LGBT community" including myself. I don't even bear ill will towards anyone who lost tolerance (though outright homophobia still disgusts me). You also think making Sonic an LGBT icon will end homophobia and bigotry. No it won't. All it'll show is that you're too lazy to create your own gay characters and it's a reason why comics are failing. Gay characters can be done right and I don't trust a single SJW or the lamestream media to do it now. If you wanna do it right, you make an original character, you make it subtle, you treat it like it's no big deal, you don't politicize it, and you use it for storytelling rather than be progressive. I'm going to be blunt, if you can't do any of that, I'd rather not be represented at all. In short, this article is crap and has already done more harm for me as a bisexual than good. This is also sadly an example of why I don't bother making Corruption in Game Journalism articles anymore, because as bad as this is, it's so commonplace in most gaming sites that we'd probably be making articles for every controversy non-stop.
