It wasn't that they hardly interact with anyone else. Obviously Blaze interacts with Marine most. Not in the IDW comics, for some reason, but the game overrides everything. Anyway, yes, apologies for forgetting an example. My main point still stands, but yours holds more merit than I originally thought.
Except wait, no, because Espio is a boy, so it doesn't. Because part of the argument is also that, yes, boys and girls being such close friends does imply romantic/sexual tension. Not the case with two characters of the same sex.

Yes, they're both Guardians. Blaze and Silver just kinda hang out for no reason other than being friends and the audience's memories of Sonic '06 (which the characters don't even remember, but still).
>Diamond Cutters
That shit sucked so bad, and Silver wasn't even their friend. You know his interactions with Blaze are of an entirely different nature. You might as well argue Silver is gay with Elias and Shard because they were all on the Secret Freedom Fighters.
>I could have pointed to the entire issue Blaze spent with Sonic in the closest thing to a date the comics have seen since the Sonic/Sally days.
I would not say it's much like a date at all. At this point you're trying to dilute it to literally the amount of times characters interact, in which case you should be shipping Sonic x Eggman, since they're the two characters who interact the most in the entire series.
>I could have even pointed out that when Blaze reminisced about the people who had the biggest impact on her - Silver didn't even make that cut.
Yeah, Silver didn't have an impact on her. She had an impact on him. But still, you raise a good point that Silver should have been included there since they're shown as relatively close friends in the IDW comics specifically.
Also, just for reference, you should consider not making every sentence a new line. Short paragraphs are fine, but that isn't what you're doing here. That whole thing should have been two, maybe three paragraphs at most. Not eight. This kind of thing might fly on Reddit or whatever, but it outs you as one of the refugees around here.
