I think the main reason it started to bother me was because of the realistic tone it was given through Penders and Butler. I believe after that, I liked Yardley's and Bates' depictions but there was always that little feeling.

And yeah, Sonic and Tails have no clothes. But the males of this series are not known for that anyway. Penders is gone now.

And besides, Rouge the Bat is perhaps the most sexualized of all the characters yet no one complains that much abiut her. Meanwhile Sally is usually drawn without any obvious bits that will mark the comic as mature. You've got me there. Don't get me wrong though, I was bothered by it, I am not bothered by it now. Again, that's probably thanks to Yardley and Bates, making me appreciate the character more. So although I don't mind if they Sally has pants or not, it really took a while for this thing to set motion.

What bothers me about it all is that Sally Acorn from SatAM along with Sally from when the comics started out, she is the true "Classic Sally" to me. In #288 Classic Freedom Fighters, Antoine was shows without his uniform, making him less naked than his true Classic self, and Sally now wearing clothes.

Whats bothering me is Sega is insisting on double standards for Classic characters that the Archie comic only inherited from the original cartoon to begin with. In doing so I guess it's comic canon now that all the female Mobians do have "naughty bits" they need to cover up. My original speculation was mobians simply wear clothes for comfort of fashion than the need to cover anything humans/overlanders found offensive. How is that the "Naked" female character is offensive yet the "Naked" male character is not?! (im talking about mobians okay?)

It's just a fur. It's not a big deal.
