"the sonic franchise has never had a misogyny problem" <- person whos never played a sonic game in their life
#sorry i just saw that poll that was going around. what do you mean theres people saying no ....#im not gonna elabroate too much rn because i dont feel like writing a whole essay on it but#the sonic franchise absolutely has its moments of mistreating its female cast and its wild to me that people can just. not notice ?#like yeah theres a lot of great and loveable female characters but that doesnt mean theyre never portrayed in a misognyistic way#or dont fall into a pattern of misogynistic writing choices even if the character is fine on her own#do you never pay attention to the amount of screentime or plot relevance a lot of them tend to get ?#or what storylines and roles theyre given?#what types of personalities and designs theyre allowed to have and how much variation they get compared to the boys ?#if theyre ever allowed to interact with other girls onscreen?#i think things Have gotten a bit better in more recent years but thats mostly because idw sonic is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here#and obviously im not saying any of this out of hatred for sonic. you can like something and admit that it has issues in certain areas
