I guess some people just feel they're not very interesting otherwise? ((Shrug))

You know, I like to think the same concerning myself, but people that have met me tell me I'm just a little timid and a lot less angry. I guess I can see where they're coming from, since I'm one of those people with an embarrassing snort that laughs at everything.

There is no equal opportunity here, you either like the show for normal reasons or you're shunned to the backwaters. While people can agree/disagree on the show of course, the most absurd headcanon's and wishfullfillment stuff is best left at the door.

We're in the year 2014, not 1999.

Maybe I should start posting some Leatherhead/Donatello fanfiction here, filled with lots of controversial headcanons. If you don't think I've got the balls, I will totally start writing something just for you, CyberCubed. I'll even have a dedication at the top of the first chapter...

For CyberCubed, who thought this type of thinking wasn't "normal", who thought you had to be shunned to the darkest corners of the internet to write stuff like this, who thought you could only show this type of work to like-minded people, who made said like-minded people out to be a horrific savage and also always female: you're stuck with me.
