Do the sirens in Bad Moon #4 Imply Raph Likes Human Girls?

**Venom** · 12-15-2007, 01:11 PM

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but in the comic the sirens told Raph that they could be anything he wanted. After telling him that the girls remained in the form of humans. So does that mean Raph is attracted to human females? If he wanted a girl turtle the sirens would have morphed into that form, wouldn't you think?

I understand him thinking it was Shadow and Sloane at first, but the third girl isa mystery because she could not have been Lilith (thay had not met her yet) or the little girl.

By that reasoning, and the fact the sirens claimed they could be anything he desired, it makes me wonder if Raph digs humans?

I wouldn't be surprised if he liked human chicks. Why have them take on mutant turtle form when he can't get them in real life? It's like he was teasing himself. So stick with humans, cos they exist. Ahhh whatever....im not explaining it right.

When "The Lion King" came out, the girls and the (female) teacher in my English class were fawning about how hot Simba was.

So it may not mean that Raphael is attracted only to human females.

Yeaaaaah ... I know a few people who thought Simba was hot ...

Given he WAS raised around human pop culture, with little or no non-human humanoid females depicted, I'm not seeing the argument he wouldn't be attracted to human females. Its psychological.

Honestly, why this is such an issue for people, I'll never know.

The way I see it is, the Turtles aren't natural creatures, they're mutants. They have no counterparts in nature, so they couldn't be naturally attracted to say, female mutant turtles. They would either be attracted to normal turtles or humans. And since they were raised as humans and live as humans, it's only natural that they be attracted to human females. As for human girls being attracted to *them*, that's another story

Let's not forget that Radical has become more than human, she sees beyond Leo's physical appearance.

I don't really belong in this section, but I just wanted to say thank you for that.

I'll repeat Ava's Thank yous. There isnt anything wrong with it. If Radical can look past the physical and see the person inside the shell, why can't others? I've always seen the guys as typical healthy males with everything that makes them a guy- libido and all!

no big deal.

I agree, like previous posted, they grew up on good ol' human pop culture, it's all they've ever known. It stands to reason they would be attracted to human females. Besides, I think they all had a crush on April at one time or another.
