gay cartoon characters(a topic up for debate)

[migitmouse88]

there have been many lawsuites made by a number of religious organizations that protest that many cartoon characters are gay... personally i think... who the ****cares if they are gay or not... its not like they are posessing the children of our generation but what do you guys think?

No offense but this has been done to DEATH-

I think these people are all nuts! Cartoons are like asexual- they are not sexual beings at all. Anyone who looks at them that way is REALLY looking for it and could find it anywhere! This topic bugs me.

[migitmouse88]

sorry

[Nephythys]

It's ok- I had to dig 4 pages to find the old thread-

[TinkPink]

Actually, I think the other thread is pretty different. That one is a joke about the possibility of Disney characters being gay- not at all serious. I though this thread might be interesting since there are real controversies out there about "gay" cartoon chracters that are serious and I would enjoy hearing people's opinions on it since I can't understand where those other people are coming from.

I agree that this thread is different enough to warrant a little discussion. Reminds me of that uproar a few years ago over Teletubbies. Wasn't it Falwell or one of those other fundamentalist nuts who started the fuss about Tiny Winky?

[migitmouse88]

there just cartoon characters... (im not trying to sound rude or anything but anyone who thinks these characters are gay are just looking for trouble)
and dont get me started on the topic of mickey mouse being evil

[Nephythys]

you guys do what you have to do- but gay cartoon characters WAS done to death in that thread- leaving, IMO, little room to do it on a serious note. There is nothing serious about it- it's stupid.

Yes. That was so ridiculous. How can anyone look at Tinky Winky and think of him being sexual in ANY way??? These people are nuts. I have never heard any argument whatsoever that supports him being gay at all. He "acted" gay? We don't even know it is a "he"! What are those things anyway?

I think you already made your opinion on this thread known. There are many others that you are welcome to post in if you don't like this one.

Actually, in his first two decades Mickey could be a feisty and bratty little mouse. It was in the '50s that he got a "nice" makeover and was elevated to his ambassador post. I believe somewhere back in the '80s or so Disney actually made an announcement about bringing him back in new adventures with a little more edge to his character.

yeah, that I know- but thanks for sounding utterly snide about it.



wow- and I even started out agreeing with your first post- the whole thing is stupid.....as YOU said, this topic bugs me. I guess I misunderstood your intent.

[migitmouse88]

that little "edge" is thanks to michael eisner
besides... if they reall wanted to make him evil today he would have the face of.... nah, nevermind

I believe it was you who was being snide. If you see a thread you don't like- don't post in it. I don't know what pleasure you get by telling other people a thread that they might enjoy is stupid. Just stay out of it if you don't want to take part.

I was raised with grandparents who were always telling me that certain Disney things and other cartoons like the Smurfs were evil! They were strictly religious and it was because of the magic and stuff like that. How awful, telling a child that Mickey and the Smurfs are evil.

I assume I am not offending anyone, since we are all Disney fans!

[migitmouse88]

ooookkkkkk then...we should all feel lucky that this is a message board and we are not having this conversation in real life... please people... its a thread about gay cartoon characters... lets be nice about this

[TinkPink]

I don't think the gay cartoon characters had anything to do with it.

Besides- there are no REAL gay cartoon characters.

Oh! Except Ace and Gary! (Any SNL fans?)

[migitmouse88]

hahahahah :lol:
true... so true

One of the things that confused me about the "SpoungeBob is gay" argument is, I have seen two different SpoungeBob cartoons where he was pursuing Sandy the Squirrel. He was even jealous of Larry the Lobster taking up Sandy's time. He clearly treated her as a potential girlfriend. How did they get that SpoungeBob was gay?
