Should there be a strong LGBTQ+ presence on "Rise of the TMNT"?

What do you folks think? Is it time for the latest TMNT show to embrace the growing LGBTQ community? A gay Raphael, lesbian April, maybe a Splinter transitioning to female? Maybe a twist could be that Oroku Saki is actually a post-op... Karai?

You've made like 5 variations of this thread.

No I haven't.

Everyone is bisexual until proved otherwise, so there's already a strong LBGTQ+ presence ;)

April should be cis who identifies as a female but is also non-binary and people should refer to her as "ze" or "zer."

Wouldn't that make her not CIS, but "Genderqueer"? I thought I read that somewhere.

Oh Andrew, you devilish rogue :lol: you love getting people worked up

I'm surprised you didn't include a poll in this thread

The last one like this ended up in the disintigrator....
..... and no Andrew, you're not turning my girl in to Shredder :lol:

This entire forum is just going to be utter bullsh!t for the next month or so, isn't it?

Thanks, Rise...

That was about BayTurtles Movie #3, and it went sideways.

What do you mean? Karai dressed up in Shredder's armor to fool the Shredder Elite back in "City at War"... perhaps the writing was on the wall, even then?

She was still her :)

No the recent one, will they every be depicted as homosexual or something.

I’m not sure we are ready for that. At least not all at once.

Quoted for truth.
:D

Shredder should be gay, imagine the story line potential for this.

I have no problem anyone's preference. One of my best friends is gay, but this does not need to be shown to young minds in my opinion

I have this wonderful mental image of you and your best friend hanging out, and then a young mind should happen by, and you just tackle this friend so as to keep them out of sight.

Lost to the comment

I don't hide my friend. We both went to medical school together and did residency together but I just don't want my children exposed to things regarding sexuality too young

I know what you mean, one of my best friends is a straight but I wouldn't want that hetero stuff shown to kids.

It's all a matter of opinion which is what this thread is about
No offense to anyone. I love everyone but it's just a parenting choice is all

I agree that we should just let kids be kids and not expose them to adult relations

The T in LBGTQ is Tcest confirmed.

Lmao :tlol:

You underestimate what kids can find at such a young age. Especially in this modern age. :tcool:

Wow you're really not seeing the disconnect

? Maybe I missed something
Anyhow I am out of this since maybe I have struck a nerve ? Maybe not

no, next question.

... Never mind gay, straight or whatever... what's up with the teenage mutant ninja incest in this picture?? This is... ugh. Talking to children about LGBT stuff seems simple compared to explaining why two ADOLESCENT BROTHERS are locking lips.

Don't go to the creepy sections of deviantart, and that goes for any fandom, you'll be better off.

Can we not do anything else to Appease SJW's .:lol:

If they had a friend who we end up catching a vague hint on a rare occasion that the character is part of said "LGBTQ community," fine... go for it. No reason it even has to be 'a thing' any more than any other minor factoid about them.

Incest however... Hell no. No matter how anyone tries to explain it away to make it 'okay.' Keep it to subsets of fandoms among those who share the interest, not in actual series.

They,re not biological brothers in this show so it,s fair game. #turtlecest #gogreenmachine

Eh, no politics in my TMNT. The only thing I 'd like to really see is them being asexual, that way there are no cheesy romances and any female characters aren't reduced to love interests.

Didn't the creators drew a nsfw comic with tcest content back then? Mike x Don. They're animals so it's not really such a fuss imo.

I'm concerned if it's human beings like Ana X Elsa. D:

You can see incest in many media nowadays like Game of Thrones and Riverdale. For shock value I reckon.

In the same sense that we are. Turtles or not, unlike actual regular animals, they're people.

The social justice warriors have already ruined half of the classic comic world for me... by God if they screw with the turtles any more beyond this ridiculous new adaptation by making them gender confused the next mass shooting will be at Nickelodeon Studios when the masses finally snap

Interesting.... if this same discussion was happening 60 some years ago, the same disgust tone would be projected toward homosexual characters. Isn't this all just cultural relativity?

Besides, what else can one expect of the issue of consensual adult incest popping up at the perimeter of mainstream cultural society, time and time again, with society's current logic about permissible consensual adult sexual relations:

That's an awful lot of links for you to just have randomly on hand.

Anything you'd like to share with the rest of the class?

Andrew is a SJW?

Could just shove Lindsey in, not really talk about her sexuality and just say that counts?

What if the back story between Saki and Yoshi is that they were secret lovers and Yoshi betrayed Saki by hooking up with Tang Shen. Saki then has Yoshi kicked out of the Foot by revealing to the other members that Yoshi was sexually harassing him.

Oooooh I am all for that boiling tea. I love that fresh new twist.
