@NabbitFan730@Zhane_Star And I also agree that the Sonic franchise moved away from that, because Amy for example, she was very obsessive about Sonic, but here's the thing, most girls don't behave that way about someone they like in the real world.
Happy endings where the protagonist doesn't necessarily need a love life/or family(with kids) could be considered more.
Society pushes the idea where those things are "needed" to live life to the fullest.
