>>133617528Literally just all the creepy romance tropes that are inexplicably so popular.
I am not joking. This is why Amy’s characterization went to shit for a while in the 2000’s, because all they would allow her feelings for Sonic be were that shitty anime trope of physically abusive tsundere/yandere. Her modern characterization is better but the damage has already been done.
And obviously it’s not just SEGA that does this. I swear someone desperately needs to tell straight people abuse doesn’t make het couples have chemistry. Every creepy romance trope (dub-con, love potion, yandere, cheating, verbal/physical abuse, etc.) out there I’ve seen in sonamy, because SEGA jobbed hard when all they had to do was make Mickey and Minnie Mouse 2.0, and encouraged fans to turn sonamy into yet another teenlit romance.
That said, to be completely fair, most of the shit we’re seeing here is ancient. Recent sonamy (and pairing in general) stuff is much more tame. Pretty much everyone’s burnt out from the awful way its portrayed.
