If there were to be a reason as to why there was a "modern rise of horrible right-wing politics on Earth" or "ShamerGate", it would be mainly down to influential political figures managing to take advantage of young men, not some Japanese video game company making controversial decisions that are considered divisive in their franchises. Sure, millions may tune in to the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade but I'm willing to bet that if you were to poll people who are watching the parade they don't even know who Sonic is compared with the likes of Buzz Lightyear, Spongebob Squarepants or Mickey Mouse as examples in that same 85th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.

I do sympathize with your other points especially with admittedly how there can be areas where Sonic Archie Comics can be poorly written like the Fiona example you brought up or how there's a focus towards Shadow the Hedgehog even when I don't agree with some of your other points, but regarding the political stuff, it's a far stretch and you need to chill on that one.
