Oh boy, am I likely opening myself up for quite some reactions once again with this one, lol. This is now the third time I’ve drawn Sonic and Gumball kissing each other, after the two I made on Deviant Art with Surfed Up in 2020 and Sonic and Gumball: Love Like Winter in 2022 (both of which you can find in this compilation right here). My need to draw them kissing a third time has, of course, come from the far-right puritan psychopaths of the world who’ve been getting more vocal and using more of their power to bring us all in the LGBTQ+ community down, including book-banning, library attacks, and policing what gets to be taught in schools (which all also go far beyond LGBTQ+, even more concerningly, like increasing racism and misogyny and all that). Longtime fans of mine from dA already know about my hatred of this crap, and I’m sure that some of you reading right now may have heard about what came out about Inside Out 2 & its production, where it was reported that Disney (or more specifically their leadership like Bob Iger) pushed to make Riley ‘less gay’, and blamed the box office failure two years ago for Lightyear on the lesbian kiss that barely even lasted a second, and just in case I’m not making this obvious enough with how long I described that for, yes, that is exactly what prompted this drawing right here. Maybe I could’ve used actual Disney characters and not one from Sega & one from Warner Bros. for a more fitting effect (like drawing Riley herself crushing on, idk, maybe Alisha Hawthorne while watching Lightyear in a theater or something, lol), but idk, I just like really drawing these two as the boyfriends I made them into in my crossover world, and it’s way more than just a Disney issue anyway. But yeah, censoring healthy actions sucks, what else is new.
