Again, you speak in absolutes. For me, it clashes with the entire premise. What's the use of having a cocky drifter as a main character if you're just going to attach a leash to him?
@DocRavage: There's MORE to Sonic than JUST him & Robotnik/Eggman. If you want that, play Sonic 4. The comics, like the DiC 'toon concepts that inspired them, include romance, not just 'cause cartoons/comics REQUIRE the hero to have a love interest, but 'cause the romance acts as a nice side-arm to the action, showing that the characters each have a softer side. Plus, in the comics, Sonic has said repeatedly that he LOVES Sally & has yet to say the same for Amy. And it is GOING to STAY that way.
Like I said, it's a lifestyle thing. Sonic's usually a drifter, and even when he isn't, his exploits are usually a bit too dangerous for him to get too attached to anyone. I think romance sort of takes away from the experience as a whole, anyway. When I think Sonic the Hedgehog, I think of a blue rodent fighting a fat man. Not saying there's anything wrong with romance being there, but they ought to know their target audience and be sensible about it.
@DocRavageL: Well, the games focus solely on the action with little to no character development. The comics try to bring dimension to the characters by having romance as a nice side-arm & because both ladies like Sonic & he for them, it would only be natural for them to consider a threesome, since neither girl is willing to budge on their feelings & Sonic is open-minded enough to see when two girls have the hots for him, never mind that he himself made the choice to like the girls as well.
Yes, I know you were using him as an example. I was pointing out that just because Peter Parker and Sonic are both comic book characters is not an reason to say that one should be shipped with two people, especially simultaneously. Sonic's personality, for example, would allow this, but his lifestyle definitely does not, while I could see Spiderman in this way.
And forgive me if I appeared hostile; I'm prone to using sarcasm regardless of the situation or person.
@DocRavage: I was merely using Spidey as an example, thanks. No need for the potential sarcasm. You have rights to preferring Sonic as single, just as other fans have rights to ship him with whomever he sees him fit with. Those differences are what make us who we are as fans. But despite different views, people can still get along, you know.
@DocRavage: Feh. Sonic is a playa, plain and simple. I mean, if Sally and Amy get along in the comics despite their mutual feelings for Sonic, why not let the blue blur have them both? It's no different than Peter Parker with Mary Jane-Watson and Felicia Hardy, as another comic example.
@DocRavage Sonic is very free spirited in the comic.

You're right. Sonic and Peter Parker are one and the same, right down to the personalities and powers.
In truth, I prefer Sonic have neither.
