Were Karai and Shinigami implied to be lesbian lovers?

A lot of the 2012 TMNT fandom believes Karai and Shinigami were lesbian lovers. Here's a few brief youtube complications from fans:





The pic attached is from the official Ice Cream Kitty video for the show too. There's also a ton of KaraixShinigami shipping fanart on places like deviantart, tumblr and twitter.

Do you feel Karai and Shinigami were implied to be lesbian lovers? I mean Ciro introduced Shinigami to be Karai's lesbian right hand, right? When they weren't on missions together or with the Turtles, Karai and Shinigami were having some real lesbo action at the Foot HQ's, right?

I truly must applaud Ciro for promoting LGBT relationships in a children's show in a mature and sophisticated manner. They are my OTP ship! Lesbian lovers unite! They were definitely some real lesbos!
