I really don’t care who that is (I don’t hate the comic or cartoons, I just personally like the Sonic games), but I still think it’s pretty cool since this should knock some Sonic homophobes down a few pegs *cough*CWC*cough*.

And, correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Lexington beat this guy to the punch?

If anything, I would have thought they would have chosen Antoine. >>

I would have liked to know how they would have handled that. They probably didn’t need an entire story arc for it, though. Stronger hints would have been just fine, if they really wanted to show it. Sexuality doesn’t matter!

The original storyline wasn’t meant to focus so much on the relationships between characters (or lack thereof), anyway. Honestly, at this point, I think they’re creating drama because they don’t have any better ideas.

Nothing against homosexuality or anything of that matter. But I’m glad they never went through with this idea if for one reason. It was just an idea thrown in there for shock value. The comic story has become so much like a day time soap opera already why add more to it?

Seriously…what happened to this comic series? The story lines at the begining were so simple. Sonic and the Freedom Fighters fighting against Dr. Robotnik to free Mobius. Maybe throw in a couple silly situations and corney dialog here and there….but it was still just good ol’ plain simple fun to read. I stopped reading the series around the time the Knuckles the Echidna series ended at issue 30-ish ( I tihnk the last issue was 33 I can’t remember its been so long) Even then, yes there was a little drama and a couple new twists and turns but it was still pretty basic and easy to follow.

I’ve been trying to get back into the series, but reading the new comics now its like its completely different concept.

[...] even went so far as to outright deny that any hints were dropped, as Penders suggested: Not even worth mentioning. There was absolutely no canonnical build-up to Rotor’s sexual [...]

This would have been such a pointlessly horrid idea.

When you have to go exploring a Sonic character’s sexuality, you’re getting too deep and probably running out of ideas.

I’m glad that this didn’t come to fruition, AND that I stopped reading the comics long ago. This is just too stupid for a children’s comic book.

Nothing against gay people of course.

That’s just wrong.
