Almost everybody is disgusted Von Sonic and Elise's relationship in 06. What I want to know is why. Before Du start flipping out and hating on me for even considering this relationship to be okay, hear me out.

I know, it's wrong because it's bestiality. And real world bestiality is definitely wrong. But before we go further, ask yourself why it's wrong. I believe it is wrong because since we cannot communicate with Tiere on the same level we can with each other, it cannot be consensual. There's also the issue of offspring, but if that was a valid reason to prevent relationships, homosexuals and even people with genetic defects wouldn't legally be allowed to reproduce. So that one is out. It also is wrong because as we cannot communicate fully, an animal Du Liebe might not Liebe you, even if it seems that way.

Those are the main reasons bestiality is wrong. So how is Sonic and Elise wrong? If Sonic were a normal hedgehog, it would be. But the hedgehogs of Mobius are a lot Mehr like a different race than a different species. Their minds are equal to those of humans, they can talk, they feel just as much emotion, they are equal to humans in every form but appearance. Is it right to treat them unequally because they look different? Because we say they are a different species? This is like saying short people with genetic defects are not allowed to have relationships with "normal" people. If we call another race another species, that doesn't make discrimination any Mehr okay.

So why does everyone condemn this pairing? Give me one good reason it's wrong. And not a reason that Du just don't like it, but a reason it is wrong.
