>She has for a while.
Yes, only because she's abandoned her romantic aspirations towards Sonic. Do I need to remind you of the bestie colleague?
This isn't shipfaggotry. This is friendship. Sonamyfags had a choice in the 10s, they could either continue their never-ever ship or have Amy grow up and them be friends.
They chose her growing up and them being friends.

Amy is literally a civilian girl who idolizes romance. She wants (or at least, wanted) Sonic to slow down to match her pace. That's the whole crux of their conflict. Amy wants emotional intimacy that Sonic is not comfortable providing her. Amy seeks external validation from Sonic rather than from within. This is treated as a terrible thing since throughout the franchise, we saw Amy's character shine when she was empathetic. When she would go out of her way to help others. When she'd believe in herself rather than hope for Sonic to one day believe in her.
Amy's unhealthy attachment to Sonic is not a strength. It is a weakness.
One she has overcome and that is now evolving into a more mature understanding of Sonic and his boundaries, comparable to what Tails has of the blue blur.
