I saw the recent post about Silvaze and I think it’s time to finally come out and state the obvious. Sonaze is mega forced. The only reason it’s a ship at all is because Sonic and Blaze appeared in a game together and are opposite genders. If Blaze was a guy folks wouldn’t ship it nearly as much. It’s also another tired trope of trying to pair Sonic with a princess under the idea that his freedom needs to be “balanced out.” The cherry on top is that these biases lead to interpreting a mere handshake as some romantic gesture. When one takes off the shipping blinders, it’s clear how forced this pairing is.
