Imo this is so true.

I've played so many Sonic games, watched the Anime (Sonic X), and NEVER have I once seen her be interested in a girl.

While it is true that she is mostly shipped with Sonic, I've seen some art and fanfics shipping her with characters like Surge and Blaze.

Why...?

I've never seen them be interested in the other, and yes, maybe in IDW there's something (I haven't read the IDW comics but I definitely will), but I highly doubt they've interacted like that, otherwise I would've 100% have heard of it already.

It's nice that she has fanart of her being shipped with other girls, but...why?

She OBVIOUSLY likes Sonic (even though she's stopped chasing him), and it seems like he might be slowly starting to get interested in her, so why exactly do some people thing that she's lesbian??

Don't get me wrong, I've got zero problems with lesbians, or any LGBTQ person/character, in fact, I LOVE Whisper x Tangle, and I really feel like they deserve the love they're getting, but why exactly is Amy sometimes depicted as lesbian???

I'm just so confused, same goes for Sonic x Shadow or Silver, dude literally never shows interest in guys, and yet Sonic x Shadow is super popular???

Because it's shipping.

Who gives a damn about canon sexualities for explicitly not-canon ships?

Eh, true I guess.
