Maybe...if we're lucky, issue 126+ will have us moving on. But who knows.

The current arc is set to end in either #122 or #123 as that's as far as Sophie's run is lasting for at the moment.

I love that Sally Pride is getting a lot of attention, However I don't think the people of mutant town know that she wasn't born human, Everyone in mutant town used to be human, But Sally Pride I believe was born an animal, She first appeared on the issues of the Mighty Mutanimals miniseries, She was originally created by Null for slave labor, And they were planning to use her for specific tasks, Like she was being trained to drive vehicles and stuff like that.

Over the years she started acting more human, So I can see why she has qualities that would fit her well as someone who can lead.

I don't know about "more" of the anger, though. As-presented in both dialog and facial expression, Raph's outwardly-expressed anger comes out in direct response to Casey's comment. That's simply how it reads, which is why I made the observation.

What’s comic book censorship towards underage drinking? If I’m not mistaking he isn’t 21 yet.

I'm not so sure about that; as I mentioned in a previous post, it's been at least 3 years since the start of the series and Casey (and April) was in college which means he was at least 18 at the beginning, so by now he (and April and possibly Angel by extension) would be 21 or 22.
But to be fair the series has never set anything in concrete about any character's ages.

Sounds like a good plan: just give Ross his own spin-off to do whatever he wants, proclaim it non-canon, so furries could continue to cream themselves about "cute UWU animals" and normal people would not have to look at this stuff.

Although I agree that the series needs an editor and to get back to the main characters pronto, you are coming across as a transphobic a$$hole.

She changed her name years ago and you ignoring that on principle is pathetic

I don't play pandering games with mentally ill people. Have it enough in my life time already.
It is pathetic to pretend that men can cheat biology and become "a woman".

Sorry, not sorry.

You should be. You're a waste of skin. No one even calls authors by their first name in writing (e.g. Eastman, Santolouco). You're just going out of you way to be $ hitty and violent. Even more egregious is if you're actually choosing to do it because she's "mentally ill" by your own words. Why be a piece of s$it to someone mentally ill? Go to hell.

And it's not pandering. It's probably her ****ing legal name. People have the right to change their name.

If anything you being an a hole weakens your arguments

Ya I may catch fire for this but I completely agree with you.

[hypered1]

It's rather sad that people take offence from something that literally doesn't affect them in the slightest.
It's also no wonder that many of the creative team hardly come here anymore when all they get is derogatory comments thrown their way.

People who pretend that mental illness is "a normal thing" are a waste. They harm society by allowing people to engage in unhealthy behavior, ruining their own lives and lives of others.

Go suck a lemon, handmaiden.

Calling male "a male" is not a violence - it is just stating a fact. A fact, that no matter how much he will butcher his body, changes his name, he still will be a man, a male, a human being with male biology though and thorough. Reality doesn't care about his mental illness and won't accommodate it.
Deal with it.

This is where you are wrong.
It AFFECTS other people. Laws changed to let men into women spaces. Twitter mob attack women for standing for their privacy and safety. Trans constantly attack Lesbians for lack of desire to have sex with them, like true incels they are, regularly sending death and rape threats to them.

Just this month there were protests near spa, where failed male, who pretended to be woman, showed his dick to underage girls. And you want to tell me that it doesn't AFFECT others!?

Do you even know what are you talking about or you just gobble down media propaganda? Or you think, that women should, as usual, accommodate male desires, because, women somehow more priviliged than bunch of mentally ill freaks?
Honestly, learn more about what you are trying to defend.

You won't catch anything from normal people, because, majority, as silent as it maybe, agrees with us.

Hey hey, now... Rooish is a very good and talented person. It's nice to see her around here again.

Talent doesn't justify defending psychopaths.

I tend to stay back and let you all be adults and not try to squash free speech and all that, but Sumac you're very much out of line. Attacking other members, and even members of the TMNT creative team will not be tolerated. Dial it back, or you may be looking at an overdue ban...temporary or otherwise.

Facts just exist, they don't attack anyone, no more than blue sky attacks people living under it.
It is their choice to see reality or to pretend it is something else.

But, if you wish to preserve cordiality, so I will withdraw from those arguments.
But my opinion on those matters and about those people won't change.

[neatoman]

Reminder here that Sumac called me edgy for claiming that a Next Mutation marathon would be more tolerable than a Fred Wolf marathon, simply because it would be over way quicker.

And then Sumac goes ahead makes this thread go off the rails by needlessly raving about transwomen because the writer is a transwoman, as if that isn't far more inflammatory than implying it's better to watch a short-lived bad TV show than a bad TV show that ended up being way longer than it deserved to.

Just say Sophie's run isn't good, that is fine to say, the fact that she's trans isn't important to the writing quality. And anyone's opinion on transpeople in general isn't what ought to be discussed here.

Agreed, it's also nice to see that some mods are still around, even if they just lurk for the most part.

Important to note that the turtles would readily beat the **** out of any and all right-wing bigots

[Leo656]

Eh, I don't know. Raph is pretty pragmatic, he'd probably lean to the right.

Also, being "right-wing" does not in and of itself make anyone "a bigot". This kind of thinking needs to stop, it does way more harm than good.

Could just say "bigots" without making it political, y'know?

Right wing's the new boogeyman, dontcha know? Well, at least for gullible, impressionable sheep with no sense of irony or awareness of hypocrisy, no capacity for honest self-analysis and absolutely zero knowledge of History other than what warped drivel they're peddled by modern-day snake oil sellers, it is. Sad.

[Leo656]

I'll be sure that all of my gay and non-white friends who vote Republican get the memo that they're hateful bigots.
