FW characters retconned as gay
 
If you had to retcon any FW characters as being gay, which would it be?

ToTheNines 04-12-2026 04:27 PM

Vernon is definitely a closet case.

Irma is so horny I could see her munching box just for the hell of it.

Heyowakka 04-12-2026 10:55 PM

Making Vernon gay is way too easy, and he’s much funnier if he’s that excessively campy and yet 100% heterosexual.
We don’t really have to retcon anyone in the Fred Wolf series as gay because Shredder and Krang were already desperately in love, but no one in the universe would officiate their taboo relationship.

Mad Dog McMutt 04-13-2026 12:18 PM

Definitely Ogg.

ToTheNines 04-13-2026 12:45 PM

A good pick no one would suspect is Splinter. FW Splinter is the only version of Yoshi to get zero pussy off Tang Shen…

What really happened between him and Shredder?

sdp 04-13-2026 01:35 PM

Vernon is not gay, he is shown to be straight and his portrayal by Will Arnett hammers that, he is full of hetero sexual energy. He's straighter than an arrow. Thompson seems straight as well.

Irma is also not a lesbian, she's meant to be one of those ugly nerds who are horny as hell and will fck anything that moves. Now I'm not saying she wouldn't experiment into some bi stuff in a threesome, but that's also because she knows the end game is the big D and if that's what it takes then she'll play along.

Casey well I could argue he is since he doesn't have much interaction with girls but it's already been retconned he and April are a thing like in other canons so I guess not.

Zack the fifth turtle, I could see him growing up and learning he really wasn't a fifth turtle, he just wanted to understand why he felt different from everyone else just like the turtles, but it wasn't because he was a mutant turtle, it's because he enjoyed the company of men. That's a believable arc.

But I can see Don Turtelli being gay. In fact I like that one more, he fits the bill perfectly. Pinky McFingers also seems sus to be honest but I could hear both sides of the argument.

They’re not gay. They’re just Italian.

Irma spent the entire series trying to get a man, so I don't think she would go lesbo.

As for everyone else, well 95% of the cast never had a love interest. Shredder was weirdly asexual in the show, he showed no interest in women over the entire series.

Raphael is gaf.

I'm pretty sure that villain wax collector guy was gay. Forgot his name, he was the one building wax statues of the Turtles and their villains. He was French too so he was probably gay, Rob Paulson voiced him I think.

Nah, Raphael was down bad for college co-ed tail (literally).

FredWolfLeonardo 04-13-2026 07:28 PM

Does Leonardo count because Cam Clarke is gay?

CyberCubed 04-13-2026 08:47 PM

I separate the art from the artists. It's like saying Batman from B:TAS is gay because Kevin Conroy was a gay man in real life. I don't think anyone thinks the most iconic animated Batman was gay.

sdp 04-14-2026 09:03 AM

plus we know for a fact BTAS Bruce is tapping Barbara Gordon

IMJ 04-14-2026 09:51 AM

Clearly Vernon.
And maybe that short "music guy" from the "Magical piano" episode were Donatello absolutely beats the $#!( out of Shredder in the most unexpected ongoing fight in the entire series.

sdp 04-14-2026 10:00 AM

Fan art never depicts vernon as gay

Howie? He’s not gay. He’s just Jewish.

CyberCubed 04-14-2026 11:13 AM

It's actually funny going back to old cartoons or TV shows from the 90's and realizing how many characters were probably gay, only that the writers had to be subtle about it back then because they didn't know if the networks would allow it. Like being blatant about it wouldn't fly back then, but they snuck enough hints in there that it was pretty obvious.

The guy who told Lotus she could move in with them? And probably had to bite his tongue to stop from saying she could share his room.


Although if Cam being gay means Leo is, then plenty of young male characters voiced by women are trans?

ToTheNines 04-15-2026 04:00 AM

Anyone think FW Donatello might be gay? He got zero bitches in 10 seasons.

Do you think Tatsu might have been kinda gay for Shredder in the first two movies? When Shredder stared him down for failing him in the first movie, Tatsu looked ashamed and then ran into the Foot locker room and beat that one Foot soldier to the ground.

sdp 04-17-2026 04:42 PM

are you implying those recruits were not only being used to steal stuff and later become foot ninjas?

Heyowakka 04-17-2026 05:50 PM

Horrible, disgusting things going on on that island, that horrible Lairdman Island! Don’t look at the flight logs though, you won’t like what you see!

You know honor is a big thing in Japan. Tatsu was pissed because his failure caused great dishonor.

It's about tmnt 1987's male-dominant staff attitude regarding how they wrote Irma in an extremely disrespectful, mocking manner.
I deprived them of that attitude and "joke" by erasing the source of their "humor" - her no longer being interested in men and no longer male-centered. I thought that was funny and landed an "emotional damage" line.
TBC:
Spoiler:

for those feeling r*pey and unaccountable, instead of working on themselves, they chose to laugh at women who felt genuine or believed they had no way out within rigid societal traps and expectations. Additionally, they are forced to orient themselves in a rather hostile environment that is hardwired to misunderstand.
I got philosophical. Hehe.

I agree. Not only was it dumb but borderline incomprehensible.
