Sega has a bunch of mandates regarding how Sonic is allowed to behave, so there's meta reason for his placement. They don't even let him cry, so coming out of the closet would be enormous.

TBH, I didn't know what to do with Charmy, since Team Chaotix doesn't really get that much development. I stuck him in the middle just to be safe.

sonic canonically coming out as gay? sure, that would surprise me a ton.

any of the sonic cast canonically coming out as gay would surprise me a ton. sega's not really that sort of company. but if we're within the realm of headcanoning characters as gay based on how they act...

"All I'm sayin' is, I've never seen a straight hedgehog deepthroat a chilli dog."

Heavily tongue in cheek, but I don't disagree. I think he'd happily let Knuckles search for his "Master Emerald".

My original idea was "If Sega decided one of these characters is gay tomorrow, who is it going to be?". It morphed into the list you see before you. I took into account both actions and how Sega treats them, as well as just general vibes.
