It was Leo "eyefvcking" Raph, and the writer meant for it to be glaring... but that is NOT what that word means. NOT. AT. ALL. Shredder was an alien. Turtles were aliens. Planet of Turtles. What a ride.

I believe I found it here if anyone is interested in reading Blue Door again, or for the first time.
I had to go hunt down that lovely excerpt from it. Quote:

If one Turtle had to be gay it would probably be Donatello.

Why Donatello?

He wears a purple bandana which is a highly recognized gay color. He's also usually in most universes the most understanding, polite and quiet. Leonardo and Raphael definitely give off the macho, "toxic masculinity" vibe, and Mikey just seems like a free-spirit but probably straight. Don seems to be the most likely to "swing this way" if you know what I mean.
But not Fred Wolf Donatello. I see him as very different than all the others due to how assertive he was and what a large temper he had. |

So straight guys can't have those qualities...?
Also not sure you even understand what "toxic" means, as none of the Turtles are. |

One of the historical reasons as to why you don't see a lot of people wear purple is because such colors and fabrics were mostly accessible to the nobility or wealthy classes in premodern times. Plain, monochrome colors are the norm nowadays to give the impression that one is serious and professional, as well as that they are easier to maintain. Purple and pink were also in style in the 80s and 90s, and many still wear those colors today.

Nonsense. You don't have to go more than the first 15 issues or so into Mirage (i.e., the source material) to have Donnie being lovestruck over an alien woman.
In fact, an argument could be made that he's the first Turtle to actually exhibit an actual attraction to... anyone.

The problem is she isn't that well-known. Let her appear in a couple of cartoon episodes first, and give her an action figure.

I assume we're talking Jhanna?
While in most cases I tend to feel that people read a lot into stuff that they want to be there, this one though...? Yeah, if you're clutching her braid and hanging onto the moment just a minute longer, guy there's no way you aren't swooning at least a little. It's a shame she hasn't appeared more or at least got an actual arc in the 2003 series. |

Yes, I know she's the original topic, that it aught to get back to, but she wasn't the current discussion. (I mean Jhanna is an alien warrior, not a Turtle, so that's rather hard to mix up.)

Sadly, we will get a lot of
Jennika was not in TMNT during the late-1980's and early-1990's. My childhood has been ruined? But it shouldn't prevent anything. |

At this rate, since it's just PD and we're in an era with a cartoon that already said "screw it" to everything important... ya know what, so long as the boys are properly represented personalty/behavior-wise, what the hell, just throw in whoever you want; the new Turtle girl, Venus too so she's not just the token girl in the room, Usagi, Leatherhead, etc... (But that would be one hell of a budget.)

The comic book fans barely know who Jennika is, let alone the casual fan. That's a big no. They'd sooner bring back 'Jennika' but call her Venus.
