 * "Yes rather then change out on of the MALE characters for Sticks they choose to replace have her REPLACE the only other FEMALE playable character that's Sexism favoring one gender above the other is Sexism"

Even if they still had Amy playable, there'd still be one more male playable male character than the two female characters in question, so either way, going by your logic, they're being sexist towards females no matter what, just because there isn't an equal number of female player characters. Again, I feel that you're seeing evidence of sexism where there isn't any - nothing concrete to stand on whatsoever, other than your own assumptions.


 * "there's no way around it rather then have Tails or Knuckles be kidnapped they choose to habve Amy be the one."

Now they're being sexist because they chose to have Amy kidnapped instead of the other male protagonists? Try taking a minute to listen to what you're saying to me - because they chose to use a female lead as the hostage, the game developers are being sexist, according to you, and there'd be no problem whatsoever if they went with one of the males instead. Ever heard of double standards, Sonamy? That's basically what this line of logic is running on.


 * "Also Shadow is one of the Biggist chracters in the series he's the only character sense the Classic Era toget his own game."

Yes, Shadow is considerably popular, and yes he did get his own spinoff game some time ago, but in the end it wouldn't change anything - he'd still just be one character. Think about it - if who's playable on the main cast is made intentionally different between the two different Sonic Boom games, along with making differences in gameplay and story, don't you think people would be more inclined to buy both games for those reasons rather than just a single character (Shadow) being playable or not? I'd certainly think so.


 * "I'm not saying that it's Sexism because I can't play as her on the platform I own it's sexism because they still kept The same 3 male characters rather then switch on out so the Ratio was 50-50 rather then 75-25 in favor of MALES. "'

Which brings me back to my first counter-argument, at the top of this response. Going by this line of logic, the developers would be considered sexist no matter what because there isn't a 50/50 ratio of male/female playable characters. Why does this ratio have to be completely equal? Maybe the developers had visions for how they wanted these games and their stories to play out. Honestly, who cares if a game does or doesn't have playable characters of both genders, or even a completely equal ratio of said characters - all accusations like these do is threaten to stifle creativity in the creative industries, out of fear of being "politically correct" in the eyes of whatever group of SJWs are crying foul over such things EVERYWHERE, over EVERYTHING. How does having an uneven ratio of male/female player characters detract from the overall experience?
