sega mandates: nuh uh

Why CANT he feel emotions? Kinda weird for that to be a rule because it kinda makes his character duller.

literally
NO BACKSTORY, LOVE (which ig makes sense??? i mean you don't want hedgehogs kissing or human x hedgehog (COUGH-- SONIC 06)), OR CRYING WTF

Odd how they explicitly show him kissing a human woman, yet crying is for some reason prohibited.

Sega.

yeah
although technically elise kissed him when he was knocked out, and she showed affection toward him but he was mostly oblivious
