I think the writer's intention was good but fumbled the execution. For one they didn't think about it coming across as mansplaining.
Sonic Boom come season 2 is a genuinely funny show. The writers just straight up don't give a fuck and meme on everything
This is almost as good as the time the show revealed itself to take place within the mind of a Sonic furry.

Yo what the fuck that's hilarious. Should I watch Sonic Boom?
Not really asking to get into a big thing about it...
But I've never really understood the concept of mansplaining. Like, does the man have to be wrong? Does he have to be condescending about it? Is it literally any time a man explains something to a woman?
This is harmless. It's basic level introductory Feminism. Some Kids will keep this knowledge and learn more as they get older.
There are all different types of Feminist with different ideologies. What Knuckles was saying is good, in theory. I think that's what the writer was going for. He had a good heart but he's still clumsy.
On that note, I can't believe I am discussing this on a Sonic thread.
So... Sonic Boom writers try to implement a positive feminist message into their show as a cute joke but because it wasn't executed perfectly some are using this as an excuse to say "Another reason Sonic is trash" or "fuck the last 25 years of Sonic".
Is it so hard to just appreciate the attempt and not shitpost about Sonic like what happens in nearly every Sonic thread? Your hot takes aren't anything new.
Dunno, I think he's kinda right ?
Amy is basically self-depreciating by asking whether or not a woman can be as good as a man, he's saying that the question implies that women are inherently worse than men at sports and that she's setting herself as an exception should she succeed
So is it mansplaining if he's basically telling her she shouldn't feel held back by her gender ?
Sonic ain't goodSonic Transformed is the best kart/arcade racer.
Sonic Colors, Generations, Advance, Rush and some others okay. Mania looking strong enough to make up for whatever that other mess is. And of course that Adventure nostalgiahides how awful of a series that was. Not good games.
Shit's just...nah not goodI definitely agree there. Sonic and Knuckles was th3 last good Sonic game.
Though I like 3D Blast.
Good for youWhat is this...
Sonic 3, Sonic and Knuckles and Sonic CD are 3 of my favorite games of all time
This is my takeaway.Real talk, I think this is one of those things slipped into a kid's show that makes kids go up to their parents and start asking big quesitons. Questions that are usually never brought up.
Maybe he comes from a future where he's driven completely insane by the fact Trump won? Was just a regular aircraft engineer until that happened!Lol �� lets enslave all animals and destroy the world nearly multiple times but nah he is a true romanticus and feminist!
Edit: ah and ofcourse a true gentleman

This is so bad.
Who ever wrote this has no idea what feminism is beyond reading the Wikipedia page... maybe
Why is this on Boomerang and not CN proper? That was solid as fuck.
No feminist worth a salt (well except fake feminists like Christina Hoff Summers) is going to say don't point out women's achievements because if you do you're just undermining gender equality.
That's fucking nonsense. You don't act like equality is the norm when it isn't.
Ding ding. As others said. It certainly seems a lot like mansplaining.He's telling her that she's creating the glass ceiling by acknowledging that said class ceiling exists.
He suggesting that one must act like equality exists even though it doesn't because to acknowledge that fact undermines the goal.
It's nonsense

Wait, isn't Amy's whole speech what Holy Baikal kept on saying?
Knuckles is so dumb
A real knuckle headKnuckles is so dumb
Say what you want about the games, but the Sonic Boom cartoon series is amazing.
You know, I bet Knuckles voted for Trump because he doesn't want those Mexicans stealing his Master Emerald.
I'm just trying to find some light at the end of this tunnel cuz everyone seems a little heated off this cartoon.No feminist worth a salt (well except fake feminists like Christina Hoff Summers) is going to say don't point out women's achievements because if you do you're just undermining gender equality.

So your shtick is that you ignore history while being oppressively unpleasant?
I mean, it's certainly a direction to go in, but there are others.
Beef you're a Sonic Stan, I respect you, but you're a Sonic Stan all the samelike I said, breh is barely out of high school :lol
I agree, it's definitely clunky, but I dont think you're interpreting it correctly. It's not the mere acknowledgement of a status quo, it's accepting stereotypes as facts that need to be disproven that's the problem. Acknowledging them as real isn't a great way to get rid of them because they're not based in fact in the first place.Scene/tweet has a lot of positive feedback (and like 40k likes). Thoughts? On one hand I see the logic in his statement but on the other hand its like I never thought of gender equality to be so..literal? Like, does acknowledging the current lack of a status quo mean you don't believe gender equality to be worth working towards? Scene feels clunky, though I do like unabashed mentions of feminism in media (a far cry from older examples in cartoons)
