Please keep cringy, forced political views to yourselves
xawic2 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Sonic Boom is rated TV-Y7 - kids/youth aimed 7 and up. There are older fans that will "get" certain cut scenes, but that doesn't make it OK to include political things in the same show that those kids will be watching. If intentional, political views being pushed to children/youth is indoctrination - period.

I know I'm not alone in expecting those in charge of working on, and approving the content of, the Sonic Boom episodes to be professional and keep their political views to themselves. They know kids will be watching (as well as youth/adults who are tired of politics and want to escape the topic for ~11 mins. of their day), so that's the least they could do. It never is a good idea to alienate any fans by introducing politics, esp. in a show that appears to be light-hearted and comical. From what I've seen, this episode's reception is a mix of: appearing in various cringe threads, fans being turned off at being told what to think/indoctrination attempt at kids, and irrelevant SJWs (many who admit to never watching to the show anyway) giving praise/triggered over Knuckles' "man-splaining" as if men should never be aloud to correct women.

Was it the intention to have the "joke" of the main crew - Knuckles, the one that is inarguably the dumbest - say pro-feminist talking points? Or that the female often portrayed as delusional (esp. when it comes to Sonic) believe that females could ever compete with males in sports? That's about the only way the infamous cutscene would make sense, seeing how the biology of males and females are clearly different. This is seen in athletic events, where men (even teen boys) outrank women, and why Olympics and other sports events have sex- segregated teams. It's a fact of life that we all need to accept. Men and women are different, and can never be equal (only that which is the same can be truly equal), and that's okay. This doesn't make men or women inferior as humans. Thinking men and women are equally capable at tasks requiring physical strength is something an actual "meathead" would think. As if only those less intelligent would not call themselves feminist, when more and more people are seeing it for what it is: a movement founded from Cultural Marxism that is all about female supremacy. Kids and people in general resent being told that you're something negative if you don't agree with them on politics.

Politics belongs nowhere in children's cartoons, much less Sonic the Hedgehog, and there was even a moment where Sonic said it would be nice if people kept politics to themselves on their social media (iirc). So this episode contradicts an earlier episode in the show. What is it with making the most macho team member be a "dumb jock" stereotype, which is somehow not deemed problematic? Cliché. Having Knuckles proclaim himself a feminist as a deliberate insertion of cultural Marxism (the cultural/social infiltration of Karl Marx's Communist world view), is a mismatch for the Sonic series. The cutscene in this episode would fit more in Steven Universe, and maybe the writer(s) who inserted this feminist narrative should go work for that series instead, as it would be better put to use. Amy has never been radical left, or radical anything, only radically in love with Sonic.

Cultural Marxism says it values things like equality when in reality/practice, it's the opposite, and as we can see today, feminism has only resulted in deteriorated men-women relations, more divorce, more unhappiness and reliance upon anti-depressants, 51% of the population is now taxed in addition to the men, children entering gov-run daycares earlier for more indoctrination (Aaron Russo interview on YouTube if interested).

Overall, when making a children's cartoon show, it's best to keep your political opinions to yourselves, because people can see right through the attempt to push a certain view and shame others for not thinking the same way.
