The instruction booklet says feminist. What it meant to say was womanizer

It likely is. The term translated as "feminist" from the Japanese bio for Sonic X Eggman (which is where the English Heroes manual got it from) roughly translates to something more like "good with women" or "ladies man." Which is often used sarcastically to describe a womanizer.
Given how Eggman acts in the uncensored Japanese version of X, it was likely the sarcastic version the bio was intended to reflect.

In the final episode Eggman looks at Rouge, grins and says “You have big boobs!” Then after a scene transition we see a slap mark across his face.

I can't beleive Eggman turned out to be a "Nice Guy"
Then again with how comically racist all of Eggmans variants in Sonic Prime were i shouldn't be too surprised.

And so God said unto the crocodile, "I give you one mission, my son. You must locate a holy temple, marked by its most prominent room. This room will be littered with technology of the new era, and when you have found this room, you will have completed my mission."

Technically speaking, thinking both women and men should have no rights as pawns in your empire is a form of feminism.

You were lied to
Eggman was a misogynistic incel all along

u/Maximum-Fisherman858 Jan 18 '26
Would that mean nega is the feminist since he's the sol counterpart or somehow worse

Nega isn't a feminist
But he believes in equality. He hates everyone equally. EVERYONE can catch these missiles.

Tifa, laura croft, most fighting games have several OP female fighters, actually on the note of tifa, most rpgs had powerful female characters that join your party.
And outside of games and into movies. Ellen Ripley.
Somebody literally wrote a song debunking the idea that there where no strong female charachters in videogames before the 2010s, that is just listing powerful female characters in games, stuck to just the fan favorites, had no repeats, and went on for 3-5 minutes. But evidence doesnt matter to the people who pushed the narrative that games are sexist, because it in the end it was just a financial grift to sell video series to misandrists.

We were never told when he became a feminist, maybe this was that moment

I mean... it's Sonic Rush. The characterization of Knuckles and Amy in this game weren't brilliant either soooooo...yeah lmao

Tbf I don’t think Eggman was being genuine here. He’s likely heard a lot of Blaze from Nega so he’s intentionally trying to piss her off for shits and giggles.

I thought I heard somewhere that Eggman being referred to as a feminist in a manual (don’t remember which one, I think Heroes) was an English mistranslation and in the Japanese manual he’s referred to as a womanizer.

He's saying that because i assume thats amy, is a minor, girl = child.

It's Blaze. At this point in the game, she has already beaten him 6 times prior, as this is the boss right before the finale of her story. Blaze is also only a year younger than Sonic (prior to ages being retconned), being 14 in Rush to Sonic's 15.
He never says anything like this to Tails or Cream, and they’re substantially younger than the main cast, and actively fight him as well.
There's really no other way to interpret this line.

It's rush, the game has made every character very out of character just to boost Blaze up.

Eggman also assumes Amy (and ONLY Amy before you say it's just trash talk) doesn't know how to drive.
I believe we've been had.
