A guess in that example you gave, girls are far more dangerous than guys are. A kid knows that other than the high-fives his father might give him, his mother is gonna ground him to kingdom come if he gets caught, but no one, literally no one is gonna look at the girl as anything other than 'that poor little angel victim' while the dude ends up getting passed around in jail. I just feel a lot of it glossed over cause of 'nice' and 'where were these teachers when I was in school' and whatnot, but like has anyone actually bothered to examine exactly WHY an adult attractive woman that could have a train ran on her if she so chose to, would rather go after kids instead? WTF.

Things should only be cancelled if they are harmful. What the hell is harmful about any of this?

Though the Turtles are done for the time being, there's nothing to really cancel. They would need to have some upcoming movie or whatever for these people to rally against. Or I guess make the crew lose their jobs. If they come after Rob Paulsen, blood will be shed though.

I'm surprise whitewashing Baxter didn't cause an uproar years later.

The bigger problem woulda been has Baxter been a cool competent villain, then people would be raising the question why he was race-swapped.

Wow... just mentally heard "Yes, master" in his exact voice, as often said in the cartoon, and I never realized until this moment how super cringy that would have been, or at least be now, had they kept him black.

Thing is, doesn't he basically do this in his current depictions in 2003 and 2012? He calls him "Master Shredder" instead of just "Master", but still.

True, though calling Shredder by name at least tweaks the way it is heard a little, and 2012 probably only ever does it when he's no longer human, I think?
2003... that guy always had his icy sarcasm and ulterior motives and his tone of voice reflects it. This Baxter at least seems less like a sniveling peon and more like a snake in the grass, abused by Shredder, but always trying to play him and waiting for his moment to strike. His personality got a little old after a while, but I still find him probably the most interesting of the cartoon versions. |

Don't remember 2012 calling Shredder 'master' to be honest.

I really got a kick out of 2K3 Baxter.
Every thread you and/or I post in will inevitably become a hair thread. It is the burden of those with awesome hair to educate those less fortunate. I don't make the rules I just enforce them.

lol Not to brag, but as long as mine is at this point, I have been getting a few compliments lately. (But good god I can't wait until I feel comfortable to go get it cut and be done with the endless tangles, etc.)

Omg you sound like paranoid lunatics. No, TMNT is adaptable and generally inoffensive.

Since we're on the subject of folks who are Racially Confusing... Lest we forget who holds the undisputed World Championship for "Blackest White Man In The Entire Known Universe"...
He's technically half-Italian and half-Panaminian, but c'mon... he's totally "black". Sinbad and Dennis Rodman put together aren't as dark as he is! Aside from having skin that's exactly the same color and consistency as bacon that's been overcooked in the microwave, and using the word "brother" instead of pausing for breath, he's also the only guy to ever wear a doo-rag in court and win. Totally Black. None of this, however, explains why he has silken hair of a Chinese man, or why said hair is naturally bleach-blonde (before age took its toll and it all turned white on its own). Like, what the F*CK is going on with this dude? Every single physical trait he has makes no sense in context with the rest of him. It's nuts! "The Blackest White Man Ever" is NOT to be confused with the championship for "Whitest Black Man Ever". Who I assume is still Wayne Brady.

Scott Steiner is VERY offended.
