Wii reminds me of XBOX 360

Ahh, like when you fall in love with your dog and start french kissing it, but the dog doesn't like it and nips you on the nose! Like that?

...What?

;D

Or, in the way the Sonic series is presented, a black person dating a white person.

No, Sonic x anything (other than another Hedgehog) is, regardless, interspecies sex. Seeing as how white people and black people are both human, that analogy is hilariously wrong.

[kirbychu]

In the Sonic series, species are generally referred to as races. Sonic Team often write in profiles "Race: Hedgehog" or "Race: Echidna". Knuckles, for example, is called the last of his race, never the last of his species.

Plus... Knuckles the Echidna and Rouge the Bat have a thang going on.

That's hardly an exclusive thing to the Sonic games. I mean, does "the human race" sound familiar at all? "Race" is just one of the many terms synonymous with "species," and it's the term Sonic Team/Sega happens to use for a variety of reasons that I'm sure make sense within the twisted confines of their heads.

It is also incorrectly applied to human beings of varying color and religion, before you can pin me on that. Regardless of what people are prone to thinking, human beings are all of the same species (and thus, the same race).

Well, that's the way they define it, regardless of technicalities. Sonic and his friends are all just defined as "people", while Froggy, Birdie and the random animals in the robots are "animals".

But this entire discussion is pointless, because no sex goes on in the series. The characters don't even have genitals, for god's sake.

I stop reading this post for a couple of days and WHAT do I return to?!

Dude, this is as sick and wrong as my fancying some computer game characters.

For future reference, those characters are Vivian from Paper Mario, Samus Arun, Sheik (when I eventually found out she was female), and to a lesser extent Princess Peach, but I've always thought of her as too "mumsy".

I'm going to clarify what I was saying back there, since I'm not particularly good at making my point clear early in the morning, and I realised that I came across as trying to defend people's right to have interspecies sex. I'm wasn't.

What I meant was that, within the context of the series, it's not out of place. For example, lesbianism would be entirely out of place in the context of a Disney movie. But not in real life. People just don't want to see any Minnie on Daisy action. (Actually, interspecies relationships have happened in Disney recently, between Goofy and Clarabelle Cow)

The reason I get bent out of shape when the whole Sonic x Elise thing comes up is that people are all for Knuckles x Rouge, Shadow x Rouge, Silver x Blaze, etc... but when Sonic x Elise comes up people cry "EWW, GROSS!" These people don't realise that it's EXACTLY THE SAME.

Yes, people annoy me.

Did you know that Pikachu IS a mouse!! Seriously, in Japan, "pika" means thunder and "chu" is onamotepia for a mouse squeak.

You must've gone to Wikipedia to find that out because that little tidbit was a red-hot speckle of information...back in 1998.

Yes. That's why I said mouse and not, say... cat or rabbit. Anybody who bothers to glance over the PokéDex info knows that Pikachu is a mouse. It says it right there in every version.

And actually "Pika" doesn't mean thunder. It means something along the lines of "spark" or "sparkle", I think. "Rai" means thunder, though.

But what animal is Goofy?

Well, I always thought "Pika" was some sorta rodent.

Garshk, I was gonna ask the exact same thing! ;D I think he's supposed to be some kind of dog. Definitely not a bovine of any description.

This has all reminded me of the incredibly cheesy Disney Christmas cartoons I watched. I often forget that Mickey Mouse does actually appear in cartoons sometimes, living his own life in a small town. Although he seems to be some kind of hobo. While Goofy seems to be living as a single parent with no income or job prospects, but he has a beautiful home and all of the creature comforts!

Disney's worldview is very depressing.

Au contraire! Mickey lives in a fairly nice detached house where he seems to fritter his money away on Christmas decorations, and Goofy somehow supports himself and his son on his career as a... supermarket baby photographer.

Everybody knows that Scrooge McDuck is the real Disney role model.

And yes, Goofy is a dog. I'd thought Pete was a dog too, but I learned recently that he's a cat. Weird.

[Dances in Undergarments]

Heres on for you - which one would be more 'wrong' - Goofy and, I dunno, Mickey (too different species but both are humanesque) getting it on or Goofy and Pluto (the same species, though one is humanesque and the other clearly is an 'animal'-like character).

Ponder that one and get back to me.

[Fryguy64]

You mean you've never seen "Goofy and Pluto in Puppy Love!" It's a classic!! ;D

There probably is a Disney cartoon called "Puppy Love", thinking about it. Ignore it. The gay version is much better!
