I thought that was a joke throw-away comment.

What did Archie Comics put out?!

To a Turtles? No. And I'm only subtly because even though their sexuality is almost never addressed, I don't like making changes to established characters. For example, Colossus in the Ultimaye comics always seemed strange to me.

However, I be all for introducing a new guy character, or to do it with a character whose sexuality was never addressed.

*BubblyShell22* · 08-24-2013, 04:57 PM

I doubt they would directly address this in the Nick show, but I wouldn't have a problem with it if one of the Turtles was revealed to be gay. Heck, I accepted it when Dumbledore came out of the closet, so I don't think it would be a big thing for me. Personally, I do think Mikey is gay in the new cartoon or maybe bi.

I look forward to that day in the far distant future, probably long after my death, when consensual sexuality stops being an issue. I really don't understand why it has to be as big a deal as it is. You sleep with whomever you're attracted to, assuming there's consent. It doesn't matter if he/she/xie/it is human, turtle, turian, Squirtle, Protoss, EM crystalloid life-form, Tom Cruise, whatever, as long as everyone is into it.

In any case, due to their isolation and lack of prospects, I'd expect the turtles to be opportunists (other than any non-orientation moral reasons for passing up a lay, like not raping who's someone passed out). With Splinter being such a traditionalist, I'd be surprised if they were diametrically opposed to homosexuality - it pops up in the old literature and ukiyo-e frequently.

I don't like to pre-judge people's orientations by their personalities. I've been called everything from a lesbian to a homophobe, so as far as I'm concerned, speculation amounts to 0.

Your poll needs a third option: "Humanity, y u do dis?"

If one is going to give the turtles sexualities at all...yes, without a doubt.

But....but....

I think it's an instants where the Turtles are essentially asexual. Sure they can have emotional relationships with humans...but could it even lead to...well...um...yeah?

They certainly weren't 'walking straight' when they sang that!

Martin · 08-24-2013, 07:27 PM

Coming out of their shells just took a whole new meaning for me.

I don't think we'll ever see a gay turtle, even if we wanted to. They already kind of get away with interspecies relationships (stress on kind of), but if you add gay to that, I think it might be taking things a bit too far.

Mikey is gay in the Nicktoon, as far as I'm concerned.

You're totally right, for some reason I thought I remembered the guy saying it was a joke in the mirage studio.

Because he's sensitive, affectionate, and softhearted, traits which a lot of people consider un-masculine and therefore "homo."

That's outdated gender roles for you.

The main problem with introducing or outing a gay character in an established franchise is that almost nobody's ever been able to do it well. Even if the writer does it decently, the PR people play it up for all it's worth, screaming from rooftops "Look we've got a gay character! We're PC now! Love us!" (i.e. Alan Scott) In either case it's just completely inorganic.

Not to mention that the only place currently where it could be officially established is IDW... maybe the film (strong maybe on that one). You can't really do it in children's media yet because the quote-unquote moral guardians would be so far up their tailpipe that it would make an amusingly ironic innuendo.
