The other thing is social media gave everyone a voice, mostly to the stupid and to the weirdos. Back in the day, people at least had some semblance of self-awareness and knew talking about wanting to see Mikey bone Donnie or hell, all 4 turtles boning THEM at once would make them look weird so they'd keep that hidden in their little corners of Deviant Art and Fanfiction.net and the like. But nowadays anyone can blurt out stuff about Optimus Prime being gay on Twitter and if you say 'lol no' it suddenly becomes an argument of 'ARE YOU SAYING YOU HATE THE GAYS????' and people dogpile on you.

Social media gave a voice to literally every freak and weirdo out there, and they know how to abuse it.

Now that I think about it.... why was there such a backlash with Don and April in the 2012 show? 80% of the female fanbase has wanted to get ****ed by the Turtles at some point or another, was it self projection or jealousy that now April was taking their thunder? Was the real anger coming from the fact that Donnie couldn't **** them now because he had his sights on April?

We're all weird. The fact of the matter is before social media it was just easier to be blind to the nature of people that thought and acted differently than us. Not everyone is a chris chan, and personally, Im glad fan fic writers can get jobs now. **** social barriers.

I mean, if the world just stayed the same, AEW wouldn't even exist because in the eyes of "Normal" wrestlers, "THEY'RE ALL TOO SKINNY, BROTHER"

At the end of the day, you don't have to agree with everything but you don't have to be afraid of it either. I know some here are probably too old and set in their ways to see that, but nothing's really out to get you. We're all the same, and I say that to people who are opposed to the opinions expressed here as well. It's like I told Leo, it's not that deep.

Edit: As far as Donnie and April, I think it was just people being sticks in the mud. Most people if they had a legit beef with it sited that it just seemed Donnie was being too much of a Simp after a point. Me? Nah fam. Go get her, Don! Be happy!

Okay, let me be clear here: Porn isn't what I'm getting at. Im saying that if someone wants to write something, let them. It doesn't matter if a robot is gay. What matters is if it's written well. There have been plenty of gay characters written very well in recent years. Also? There was no need for the vitriol.
