BC is easily the weakest part of the show

>Anyone who saw "you know you love me" at the end of Zootopia as 100% proof Nick and Judy are fucking is wrong, but making the case along with other things you noticed is part of the fun of being a fan. Do some people take it too far? Yes. Is it problematic that people see men and women as incapable of ever being platonic? Also yes. I still don't want the creators to come out and spoil that detail because that's part of the fun of waiting for a sequel.

>The graceful way to handle this is to answer a question of "are they in a relationship?" with "I think what we see can be interpreted many different ways because we don't know everything about them and that's part of the fun, but what I see in them is the kind of healthy relationship men often want for themselves but are denied due to emotional barriers certain parts of society demands they put up between them. Openly reaffirming how much someone means to you even among friends isn't done enough because it's so unnecessarily stigmatized. Ship however you like, but know that I'd write them like this regardless of their relationship status."

Mao Mao Mao is as straight as his sword is curved. That is to say, not so much.

Someone should email this to him.

I know you're probably baiting, but he didn't say either of them were straight, just that they aren't romantically involved with each other. It'd actually be powerful if they shared that level of intimacy in their bromance despite Badgeclops being gay. Sure, BC jokes about him "liking" being dipped too low when they strike their dance pose, but that's something dudes secure in themselves do.

I'd hate for BC being outted coming off as "apologizing" for this tweet, but it would be totally organic and only help Parker make the point he was trying to.

This is the post that everyone's crying about. Parker deleted it soon afterwards which was a huge mistake on his part.

I know, right?

The only thing I got from this is that creators are not allowed to have any agency over their own characters unless they are LGBT.

Parker said that Badgerclops and Mao Mao aren't gay, just really close. He wanted to depict an affectionate platonic relationship between them because he didn't see that a lot in fiction with male characters, or even in real life.

Now people are screaming at him for being a bigot.

Because she's a bat.

I don't know, I think he nipped it in the bud before it got out of hand. A reword as per would be a brilliant save on his part.

God be praised, Simmon didnt back down. He just said he wasnt trolling anyone and agreeing with a post. Lets hope it stays this way.

>"Hey kids, can you guess what Mao Mao has that cartoons are long overdue for? Male.....PLATONIC FRIENDSHIP!!! Oh and your gay shit isnt happening LUL"

Smooth, Parker.

Because people are gonna take it as an admission of guilt.

Honestly I know this post is played off for laughs but I see why Simmons posted that now deleted tweet in the first place. I had a similar bromance for years living with a real good friend and it was a lot of fun. Now he’s got a family and lives in a flyover state for his job and I talk with him biweekly to catch up.

I love Mao Mao for a lot of reasons, but his friendship with badgerclops reminds me of how I used to live every day for a long time

Seriously, me and three of my bros used to go around picking fights with drunk shitheads on the docks, and this is almost identical to the dynamic we had in the flat we shared at the time.

I know its just one guy [(You)] posting "No waifus, no watch" every thread.

I'm really hoping she turns out to be an adolescent monster. That's why she wanted to kill Bobo-chan so badly; she was being territorial.

How come retarded incels who've literally had no relationship of any kind at all in their lives always interpret any closeness between two characters as always implying sexual interest?

People have been doing this since they were kids, long before entering inceldom. It's just a way to enjoy fiction. Like betting on sports teams.

The only reason he'd say they're not gay or you'd be upset if your relationship was viewed as gay was if you thought being gay was bad.

The reason people are frustrated is because Parker's saying he wants to normalize platonic male affection, but he tinged it with the fucking "no homo bro" sticker, and it's the fucking "no homo" mindset that's made showing platonic male affection so hard.

That's not a bad save. I'm sure he'll do better in addressing the situation better next time. I'm actually glad to know that they're not in a relationship, though the ambiguity was funny. As a fan, I like knowing more about the characters.

Now please, Parker, let BC leave the closet.

My friend and I are called gay all the time because of how close we are, doesn’t bother us one bit. Our other friends joke about us getting married, we just laugh along about it. When we date people, our dates joke about having to “make room” for the other guy, but we’re not actually involved like that at all.

What I’m saying is that shit shouldn’t bother anybody so long as you’re secure in your sexuality.

How? He said that he respects what people ship, but clarified what he intends to do with the characters, which isn't to ship them. Disagreement isn't automatically offensive.

>HOW DARE YOU NOT MAKE THEM CANONICALLY GAY!

Learn to read.
It's literally saying "you can do this, but this isn't the intent behind it"

That's what he's saying and that's what people are upset about.

All he had to fucking say was "Men showing affection to each other is what we wanted to be able to show because me and my friends got made fun for doing it" and none of this would have happened, but he had to add all the little subtexts of "no homo though" that anyone with a brain can read. Shit, must have so hard for Parker to have to deal with people thinking he and his bros might be GAY. What a fucking ordeal for him being the straight male he is, how fucking inconvenient that fags exist and make it so he can't bro hug and tell his bros he cares because someone might mistake him for a disgusting aids riddled queermo

I did read it. You didnt.

It's more about how he arches his back and rolls his eyes upward in ecstasy. That's the look of someone on the verge of climax.

>He just said he wasnt trolling anyone

He literally went out of his way to say that BC and MM are not happening. But thats not the trolling part. The trolling part is that he said he did that not because he had to as a copout, but because its MALE FRIENDSHIP that needs more representation.

Because the post he replied to had the tag "#even if it't not a ship thing" so Parker was addressing that aspect in the context of a reply. Re-read the original controversial post in the context of a reply and you'll see it's more of addressing the shipping aspect in an ambiguous way.

So to you the only way parker could have responded to that was by saying "no fuck you they are gay" to a fan who he felt understood what he was doing with his own characters.

I think they've been together so long, they wouldn't know how to function apart. Even the snake half makes hooting ape sounds.

I wouldn't go that far and this is probably bait, but yeah. I can see how it can come off that way because it's really hard to convey the idea that people thinking "dudes showing affection is bad because it's gay" is bad without addressing why people think it's bad and also what specifically what isn't bad. I don't believe he has a problem with gays or blames the existence of gays for why being affectionate with other men is frowned upon, but there is a better way to word it.

I disagree with his delivery, but I agree with what he's saying in that that level of bromance is hardly explored. They're both serious guys to an extent in serious situations, but they have time to say "I cherish you" in unison after hug closely and whispering into each other's ears. Their relationship is beautiful regardless.

holy shit
Orangusnake Begins is a really smart name for an episode. It not only shows Orangusnakes backstory, but also how he started something within pureheart ruby.

Wait, who am I even responding to at this point? I'm not mad, and I was trying to shed light on how this whole situation got so bad. Parker was replying to a post that mentioned the ship in passing so Parker did the same. People seem to have misconstrued Parker's message on shipping and the "but" afterwards to mean that the gay ship and a healthy friendship are mutually exclusive. What I see it as is Parker was making a healthy friendship first and the shipping is optional.

Parker never said anything about Mao Mao or Badgerclops not being gay. Just that they weren't together.

Although probably Mao Mao is straight and Badgerclops is whatever Grif Kimmins is

I like to imagine they only separate in private, like to go to sleep or whatever.

He couldve at least not LIED. He says he didnt step on anyones toes, except he went out of his way to say they are NOT a couple because tv needs more FRIENDSHIP.

That heart is going to be endgame. Mark my words.

There was nothing wrong with his wording. He said something without any ambiguity. It's okay to ship those two, but the intent of their portrayal was to show a close and affectionate male friendship. It was nothing about toxic masculinity, it was nothing about shippers being wrong. Just being happy that people recognized the friendship between those 2

>Their names match their species.
I can't believe I didn't realize the pun.

The problem isn't them being gay or not gay. The problem is Parker worded it like an idiot that gives the feeling of it being "We don't have platonic male affection because people mistake it as gay"

Well he's not wrong

>Male friendship is never recognized in cartoons!!

>Literally only male friendships in cartoons

Not that guy, but he said they were friends and likened them to friends on a different show. Friends who didn't end up romantically involved and stated it was "a thing I've never really seen with male characters and thought it was overdue."

Not a problem with them being gay, its just not is happening.

>There was nothing wrong with his wording
Then why are people upset?
If his intentions were really that clear then no one would be upset, but the way he phrased it ends up conveying those feelings poorly

He said theyre just friends, dont even try to act like he didnt shoot it down.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Why y’all going full tumblr?
I know for a fact Yea Forums gays are more chill than this.
I’m just gonna assume false flagging from here on out

How the fuck could he write that and be like: yeah this sounds good, just expressing my opinion and my intent, not gonna trigger 700+ post on Yea Forums or make the fags angry.

i still ship badgermao and you all literally cannot stop me

>The only reason he'd say they're not gay or you'd be upset if your relationship was viewed as gay was if you thought being gay was bad.
Being viewed as gay if you are straight IS bad. It reduces your mating options and chances. Public acceptance of homosexuals has negatively impacted platonic love among straight males. InB4 "fragile heteros" or whatever other shit. We should honestly just lynch LGBT shitters again. You're a minority and we let you win us over with empathy until you could turn into a bunch of irritating harridans.

We all knew that, but to say "Theyre not gay, and not because of the network, but because I dont want them to be." is cold to the fanbase. Let people dream for gods sake.

Are you fucking SEEING all this fucking mess?

No I cannot. You do you, user

>"We don't have platonic male affection because people mistake it as gay"
That's not what it says, that's what they're making up to feel persecuted. He just says he was made fun of for having close friendships like that.
He said that's the intent of the show. The ship doesn't need to be canon in the show, that's not shooting anything down. "Ship what you like"
No one, basically fucking no one, wants to stop you.

>If his intentions were really that clear then no one would be upset
Do you really think that because there will always be someone or some people that won't understand.

>He said that's the intent of the show. The ship doesn't need to be canon in the show, that's not shooting anything down.

Again, he said that theyre just friends. That is shooting it down.

People being angry doesn't mean he said anything wrong. He worded what he said perfectly well, they're just angry about what he's saying. That's not a failure of communication. That's the fanbase of this show because hostile and toxic because something they ship isn't necessarily canon.

He basically posted a spoiler about something people were having fun figuring out for a bad reason. I don't believe he meant anything negative to any part of the fanbase, but it really was a wording problem.

Shipping attracts some weirdos. I wouldn't be surprised if it was truly one person getting mad actually mad.

The reason why he said they are not in a romantic relationship (he never mentioned their sexuality) was because he was responding to a fan that shared the same sentiment as him regarding their relationship and wanted to reciprocate.

Affectionate male friendships.

Saying they're just friends in the show isn't shooting anything down. You can still ship it.
What? There was no spoiler in the post. He didn't say anything about the plot of the show,

Nobody is stopping you. Not even the creator despite what some retards may say.
If you wanna be make them gay, go for it. Just dont cause shit and everything will be just peachy.

What in the world makes you think this? Have you not seen how they react when mods deleted their post?

In his line of business, this is less an unavoidable mistake and more of an easy mistake to make if you aren't careful. He chose his words poorly and showed a lack of understand for part of his fanbase. He should know shipfags like ambiguity and he made it unambiguous for reasons he stated poorly.

it's a 7/10 show, like many others
ok-tier, doesn't stand out

>He should know shipfags like ambiguity and he made it unambiguous for reasons he stated poorly.
Not saying something that pacifies a few rabid and toxic members of the fanbase is not poor wording.

>Saying they're just friends in the show isn't shooting anything down. You can still ship it.

First of all yes it is shooting it down. Secondly yes I can still ship them but it's not as fun anymore, the God of their universe said fuck you to that.

The comparison to characters not romantically involved does not spell out the entire future of badgermao if that's what you're implying. In his post, he makes no mention of a relationship between his example characters Ann and Leslie.
Also, the keyword in that quote is "I've." Parker is speaking from personal experience, he himself has not seen this sort of deep friendship between men and he wishes it to exist. Maybe he never saw Scrubs?

the show really seems to fluctuate in quality. some episodes are fantastic, hilarious, and leave me wanting more, while other episodes just play on boring tropes and are either underwhelming as fuck or downright terrible compared to the good eps. i'll keep watching though, i'm a fan.

Mao mao heroes of pure heart versus the forces of evil needs to be banned from Yea Forums for good. The janitor is justified for what he's done and I report this garbage every time it shows up. List of offenses:
1. MANY spam threads
These threads cover up the board and give the rest of Yea Forums and new people a very bad impression of us, it doesn't help that they are always the most worthless, banworthy and shitty threads imaginable.

2. This show is fucking trash
This show is terrible and filled with cliches, mediocre writing, and bad characters. It attempts to be funny with SO LE RANDUM XD and xXxEDGYxXx humor and occasionally panders to its dumb fuck audience like the gay ass furries with 'suggestive' things like the I cherish you line.

3. The people in these threads are literally bad people.
They can't fucking post anything intelligence, its just pure stupidity, shipwars, uncontained horniness for a shitty BADger and shitty posting not to mention you guys have gay furry porn that you post on a regular FUCKING basis. How the fuck are these threads not even /trash/ed yet?

In conclusion I hate you and your show and I hope you all die alone and friendless.

Well fuck Simmons for his "There wasnt enough 'no homo' growing up." bullshit.

There have been multiple cartoons with explicitly confirmed lesbian relationships.

It's not that much of a stretch to think Mao and Badgerclops is a will they/won't they when they're literally throwing out lines like "Light of my life/Wind in my sails."

this isn't the 90s where gay relationships were by default a no

Maybe because he didn't want to make them a gay couple the first place.

And of course the one person still harassing him is called "badgermao-is-canon."

I thought you said he didnt shoot it down. Glad you gave up faggot.

They need to hurry up with the sisters
would rather have imcest than fags in these threads

It has nothing to do with gay relationships or not. Romance isn't a mystery and saying characters aren't sexually attracted to eachother isn't a spoiler. Saying Mao Mao isn't going to fuck Tanya Keys wouldn't be a spoiler either.

I'm not that user you dumb fuck.

Maybe it's just my sense of humor but I love the general writing and pacing of the show, including the trope episodes. I actually love the trope episodes more than I should because of sheer presentation, a way to tell literally the exact same plot in a way that still gets me laughing. Plus there's an absurd amount of detail fleshing the world out, miniature jokes that you'd have to be an autist (guilty) to spot, and moderately obscure references that hit the present day sweet spot of recognizable but not normie-tier. I love this show too much and I'm sure none of my friends will like it as much as I expect them to.

It does though. To say that their relationship is like the characters from a show that has already ended and established that they're just friends and to state the intention is to show a friendship like that is to spell out what they're going to be, what he had intended for them. True, he's literally saying that's what they ARE and not what they will be, but splitting hairs with semantics like that is reaching a little too far for me. Literally any word of god tweet of "Darth Maul is in a gay relationship with Grievous" can be countered with "They said Darth Maul IS in a gay relationship, as in he's gay RIGHT NOW and speaks nothing for future arcs where he finds out he's really straight!"

It won't happen in the show, but you can still ship it and make art, and fiction, and post, and love badgermao. Ship what you like, he's not shooting it down and he's okay with that

Then nobody was talking to your stupid ass and you made a shitty post.

Why are you using "didnt shoot it down" in place of "you can pretend it didnt happen?" Theyre not the same thing.

Bend over.

>hahahahaha self aware humor to appeal to overweight incels who can't get control of their own lives like the rest of calarts but with a dash of weeb

It wasn't even relevant. I asked how he didnt shoot down them being a gay couple and saying "Parker didnt want them to be one." isnt any kind of defense. If anything it supports ME more.

I wanna see the kings boipussi getting destroyed by mao mao.

>I thought you were our age
fuck my ships suck

That comment was weird, but appropriate considering it's a mystery how old they are exactly.

Counterpoint: Ann and Leslie were just an example, he wasn't creating new characters just to be clones of them. Also again he doesn't explicitly say they aren't gay.
>Ship what you like, but the intent is to show a positive, affectionate male friendship without fear or reservation
He basically states that when designing Mao Mao and Badgerclops, he designed them as great friends who don't feel shame in expressing how they feel about each other. The unfortunate wording can be portrayed as a soft deconfirm, but the beautiful thing about their friendship is it doesn't matter either way. They love each other deeply and platonically and them being gay for each other wouldn't increase or decrease that. He also never says "just friends", rather he says that they are great friends through and through.

You're not pretending it didn't happen. You can recognize something isn't canon and still ship it

>Romance isn't a mystery and saying characters aren't sexually attracted to eachother isn't a spoiler. Saying Mao Mao isn't going to fuck Tanya Keys wouldn't be a spoiler either.

Romance and fucking are pretty fucking different user. You cant compare the two. Thats like saying "Saying Simba and Nala falling in love isnt a spoiler because theyre obviously not going to fuck onscreen."

Ever thought he never intended them to be gay in the first place? How could he have shot it down if he never wanted it in the first place. He doesn't mind the ship but it just won't be canon.

You can, yes, that doesn't mean it wasnt shot down. This isnt about fucking PERMISSION user.

>How could he have shot it down if he never wanted it in the first place.

Uh...by publicly saying theyre just friends to all his fans maybe? Dumbass.

Reread both posts in logical order with a level head. Parker never shot down the ship, he simply stated that it was important to establish a lasting friendship while leaving shipping up to the fans. Neither the show nor Parker will confirm nor deny the ship. Also it's important to realize that neutral is not the same thing as a denial. The show will continue to be ambiguous and both camps who take a step back will be able to enjoy it.

I love me a man who can cook.

I wasn't being literal when i was saying "fucking"
Simba and Nala falling in love isn't a spoiler.
Mao Mao and Tanya Keys being in love or not isn't a spoiler
Snugglemagne and Pinkie being in love or not isn't a spoiler.
This isn't a harem anime, what relationships the characters enter into isn't a spoiler.

No, he said theyre simply friends and that theres no chance that thats because of the network. They are just friends by design. Its dead, user, it is not ambiguous, stop fooling yourself.

He's not gay though, sorry.

How is that being shot down if they were never gay in the first place?

do femanons actually want to fuck this?

It wasn't shot down, it's just not canon. You don't need permission. He wasn't giving permission. He was just talking about what the intent of the show is. Which has nothing to do with what you ship or not and should have no impact on what you ship or your enjoyment of your ship.

and regular Anons

You have a pretty conveniently fucked definition of the word "spoiler"

That's not confirmed. He's just not gay for Badgerclops but man when Snugglemagne calls does he come running.

is this bait? i gotta stop biting and saying the same thing over and over

I literally just explained how the creator saying that they are only friends is shooting any chance of them being in a relationship down and you idiots are still like "UH.....WAIT, WHAT WAS SHOT DOWN AGAIN?? I CONFUSE!"
For fucks sake.

eh, kinda?

If youre going to argue semantics and pretend nuance doesnt exist youre free to fuck off, especially considering PARKER MADE THE POST TO AGREE ABOUT HOW THEY ARE NOT A COUPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Youre not even aware of what fucking happened.

It'll pass. This happens with every show when a ship gets deconfirmed.

No other show has the creator making tumblr posts deconfirming ships.

But he never wanted them to be in a gay relationship in the first place you dumb fucking retard. I'm sorry your gay ship isn't canon but you can still make your gay fanfics and art.

What was shot down???? Your ship is fine, just go back to posting images of badger humping mao mao

And him announcing that is the action that one would call shooting down the ship, you fucking braindead moron.

I like it, a shame about the curent Drama though, hope it doesn't fuck up the show with the Outrage culture. I like the Cutiepies.

is orangasnake a school shooter

>What was shot down????

Can't make this shit up. You literally copied my strawman. Am I being trolled?

I'm sorry for shitting up the thread, user. I promise to never do it again.

The guy said you can keep on making the ship, it's just not canon you dumb fuck.

It won't. People really over estimate how engaged most of the shows viewers are with the internet fanbase. I imagine not even 1/20th of the show's regular viewers follow Simmon's tumblr or will ever even see that post.
It's only a few very vehement shippers who are upset their ship isn't going to be canon to the series lashing out.

Which means it went from ambiguous to shot down, you idiot. You realize this is all from the perspective of the FANS, right? Not the writers?

it's sad that current drama outshined the latest episodes, it was nice to share experience

btw, Orangusnake Begins>The Truth Stinks>Trading Day>Head Chef

Well, shippers be cray cray, that's why you shouldn't bother arguing or acknowledging them, then again, maybe this can get funny if it spirals like Zutara did. Just imagine, How I Became Yours: Mao Mao Edition.

Just get 4chanx and start hiding threads left and right. Yes the thread will start looking depressing but at least we won't feed them attention.

No, but when a ship gets deconfirmed by two charaters hooking up onscreen, the same drama happens.

Swap Trading Day with The Truth Stinks and it's perfect

Well that's your problem that you though they were gay. Hell I thought they were gonna make them gay but I kinda like the bromance they got. It seems like you're just thirsty for repersentive in a cartoon.

>Well that's your problem

"I don't have empathy" isn't an argument, try again.

It kinda is.

Let me see if I understand this retarded argument.

One side thinks that the ship exists independently of any in canon relationship, so even if "the idea that the ship is canon" is shot down, "the idea of the ship" itself is not.

The other side thinks that "the idea that the relationship is canon" IS the ship, and that stating it isn't canon is the same as shooting down the ship.

Is that about the size of it?

And if your gonna act like a whiney bitch because your gay ship isn't canon, then maybe you should off yourself because he never wanted them to be in a relationship in the first fucking place. He never "shot down" your ship. In fact he supports the ship but it's just not gonna happen in the show. Are shipfags this fucking crazy?

>bite the pillow i'm going in raw

Personally my take away from all of this is to not overhype myself for episodes. I don’t think small or Tanya keys could have possibly met my expectations after I spent several weeks building those episodes up in my mind. Meanwhile I expected orangusnake begins to be average, and received everything I’ve ever wanted instead

Well it's true. He didn't shoot down the ship.

You're emotional, you are even doing the "you scream because you silly" thing. If you're upset about the ship that's fine, but don't pretend that the show is ruined or that parker is a bad person because of this. Also don't pretend that we should care about this because this is clearly a personal problem of yours. Same thing is you're unable to enjoy a ship unless is ambiguous or officially confirmed, its your problem.

I'm not pretending anything, you're the one pretending that Parker didn't confirm it as non-canon.
Or, at least, you did, now I guess it's "Okay, he did, but I don't care."
Why'd you waste my time?

Overhype also leads to anticipation when CN fucks us with long waits. Kinda hard to not be hype for the show at this point, but I get what you're saying to not hype up the individual episodes.

Can't wait to see her dad.

Parker could've just said, "I wanted a really affectionate relationship like what the Parks and Rec girls have for my characters" and it would've been fine. Instead, he tried to do what the usual showrunner thing to do is where they tell overblown, "I wanted to do something REVOLUTIONARY for cartoons! Something that you NEVER SEE BEFORE! Something that ALWAYS HURT ME AS A CHILD so I wanted to CHANGE THE INDUSTRY!" explanations.

Do you? For something to be "shot down" it needs to stop existing. People still ship them, don't they?

Dude all the guy said was, "Hey it's fine if you ship them, but this is what i'm going for."

Oh God, the fucking "Why does everyone have to be gay now?" braindead posts. There are still no prominent gay couples on CN, so shut the fuck, your shit makes no sense

That's not what it means, try again.

And here's the thing, there doesn't need to be one.

It's going to be like this forever now, sorry. Despite the posts saying you can ship them anyway, every shipping post is going to met with "Hey reminder that time Parker said theyre not gay? Rekt."

Why was it okay that Mao Mao and the gang bullied the Sky Pirates for so long? He knew he could kick their asses easily and did it every time. Part of me feels that the Sky Pirates would willingly leave Pure Heart if given the chance.

I'm tired of these "There's no gay males on Cartoon Network but somehow the gays are turning everything gay anyway!" dumbasses. Where the fuck is it?

>Why was it okay that Mao Mao and the gang bullied the Sky Pirates for so long?

Because they're evil? They want to steal the Ruby Crystal and won't let up on it. They can leave whenever they want but they choose to stay here.

It means he flat out stated it's never happening in canon, instead of it just being logically assumed because its Cartoon Network. This isnt that fucking complicated, why are you so braindead.

>Fuck MEEEEEEEEE

I'm tired of gay people that make me ashamed to like dick.

What makes you think it was Cartoon network idea and not his own idea? That not fair to assume that.

That's not what I said. Nor would I say that anyway, because Parker said the opposite, idiot. He said the reason they're not gay is NOT because of the network. Do some research.

Hey Yea Forumsmblr. This thread is a complete shitshow and I'm ashamed of all of you, so here are the descriptions of the last two episodes that we know of:

You know, after Orangusnake Begins I think that BC is "joining" the sky pirates to investigate on what happened with the pure heart.

Then why the fuck are people mad that he said they're not gay. They can still make gay fanart.

what the fuck makes you say that?

Maybe we should run away.

I’m worried about Mao ballooning into a fatass, but excited to see him being embarrassed about liking sweets.
Likewise I’m worried about Badgerclops continuing to be shitty, but excited to get more sky pirate development

I have a question: why did Badgerclops turn into Adorabat at the end of Trading Day? What am i missing here?

what a baby

>Then why the fuck are people mad that he said they're not gay
Going by twitter post some of these people are legitimately unstable.

was one of them newfangled Jokes folks keep going on about

Because why the hell did Parker go out of his way to deny any possibility of it?

I think the episode will either be fetish fuel fatass Mao Mao or tweaked out drug addict Mao Mao. I'm hoping for the tweaking drug addict because it's funnier and more in character, but we know how Parker can be.

Didn't someone ask about it or something. It was posted on tumblr so someone was gonna pop the question.

The user on this thread is either trolling or just want to vent since he seems to be arguing with people just for the sake of arguing, people on twitter legit are saying some crazy shit, and you should not take them seriously.

I love this show, I watch it while doing runs in rougelites and it keeps me happy.

it´s like watching hilda but even more simple an cute.

No, someone made a tumblr post about how amazing it is that they're friends and NOT gay and Parker was like yep, I love that part too, that they're just friends.

They’re great.

But how is it funny?

adorabat is CUTE

Attached: Screenshot 2019-09-14 at 5.10.46 PM.png (126x123, 19K)

Well either which way, the fetishes will latch on to it.

I think the most baffling thing about this situation is that this wouldn't have happened if Parker had said anything. He was trying to give a harmless insight into the character's relationship but completely fucked it up and pissed people off. I guess since the show is (as far as we know) on thin ice already he stopped giving a shit.

Okay, here's the official ranking of the newest batch of episodes:

1. Orangasnake Begins
Perfect use of characters and side characters with total awareness of stakes and plot progression all tied together with a touching resolution and a funny lesson.
Right off the bat, calling a laser gun a "laser tube" played with that hilarious line of self aware censorship.

2. Trading Day
More plot progression with BC's feelings as well as world building as we get closer to figuring out everyone's ages. It's great that Mao was able to keep his role as the straightman in the craziness of the episode due to the robotic arm sort of painfully hacking into his body.
"Oh boy, suck time!" WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THIS

3. The Truth Stinks
Here we see BC in an OOC moment that's probably easily contradicted by any of the previous episodes. I mean Mao criticized his cooking and he didn't explode and Ultraclops was about how they walk all over him. Someone who explodes at criticism wouldn't find themselves in that situation. It also goes counter to how he comes off as generally shameless and a "total chiller". Still, there were funny moments and that beignet make out session was too hot for TV.
Mao Mao harassing Kevin is the best.

4. Head Chef
Didn't think they Mao Mao would be the art guy and BC would be the science guy when it came to cooking, but cool. They made it work. Predictable moral didn't weigh it down too much since there was more Snugglemange and Pinkie.
"I'm so glad they legalized it!" Another odd line.

Attached: I cherish you.jpg (1101x955, 362K)

Because of the incongruity-resolution theory of humor

BC will either just be messing with Mao and the Sky Pirates, Mao will be in on the joke as they just want an excuse to spar, or BC will finally make good on his threats to run away which seem to cross his mind everyday in the wakeless nightmare that is his life.

It's crummy like water

It's a reference to the music video for Thriller. Overall it was a bad decision to include not only because the zoomer and younger demographic might not get the reference to 80s pop iconography, but because the joke just doesn't work. Clops decided against doing the voice and didn't really adopt Adorabat's attitude or mannerism. In fact, he decided against doing the voice square one. It's just going to scare the kids.

Nothing, or at the very least I wouldn't have said "They're not friends as a copout, they're really just friends."

Openly reaffirming how much someone means to you even among friends isn't done enough because it's so unnecessarily stigmatized. Ship however you like, but know that I'd write them like this regardless of their relationship status."

..What question? He didn't answer any question.

Didn't two dudes in OK KO get married? I don't actually know so don't bully me.

They're all Word of Gay.

Ah okay.

From what I recall

>Boxman and Venomous hooked up
>Army dude and monk hooked up
>Carol and Gar hooked up
>Enid and Red Action hooked up for a bit. However after a good chunk of time passed one of three things happened. Rad acted as a donor for their two kids, Enid ultimately ended up hooking up with Rad, or Rad Enid and Red Action had a three way relationship.

The last bit was pretty fun when it first aired. Everyone did a double take at that.

I'm assuming that the fans of this show like it for the fat anthropomorphic animal character as you like to fantasize about him having sex with either yourself or other fat anthropomorphic animal characters.

Also bunny and broccoli hooked up as well

Are you really asking that after decades of cartoons having romantic plots and subplots?

I trust he didn't mean anything bad by it, he just should know that it's kind of spoilerish to say if they are or are not a thing as we're trying to figure them out early in the show. I love your image, but he was implying that there are no shows that has a bromance like his where it can be mistaken for gay, but they're just affectionate. And they're both serious dudes in a comedy show. Yeah it's semantics and splitting hairs but that's the only way what he said makes sense.

I didn't see anyone comment on this, but it's weird that Badgerclops has two eyes here even though he was shown to have his eyepatch at a young age. I know this is from Mao Mao's perspective but it's a weird detail for him to "exaggerate."

Unless that's his eyepatch glowing and I'm a retard.

Didn't notice that, but yeah it's weird. He also gets buff so it's probably Mao just being unreliable. It could be that he has a robot eye under there that he reveals when he unleashes his final form and that's just the glow from it.

I chortled.

Even though I'm totally Badgerclops here.

Maybe he isn't actually a cyclops and wears one because it is cool, hence the inconsistency?

Let's face it, Badgerclops definitely has the personality that would fake something like that.

When you ship two unlikely characters that's just something you expect and prepare for from the start.

But a creator coming out just to deconfirm your ship is a rare honor of getting shit on.

>Adorabat gets the genocide ending

Terrible. I love it.

It's probably his dead eye. Didn't need to wear the eye patch with his gay scene hair covering it up. He's been a cyclops since he was a little kid.

Most people like the show for the show, Badgermao was a minority and most of them are going to keep on trucking.

Sure.

They're arguably stronger now that the weak shits who decided to drop the show after that tumblr post. We're now left with the dedicated ones.

I'm probably the the most dedicated and I'm a step away from just never visiting again until like 3 weeks later when this stupidity is hopefully forgotten and I can post Badgermao again without the Parker nonsense.

Imagine watching a show to fantasize about who the main characters are or aren't having sex with.

Slow threads aren't a bad thing, I doubt we'll see much of a dent in the traffic.

What episode is it, I'll check the subs

I believe it's a case of "please don't spoil the fun". When creatives show instead of tell, it makes the show a better experience while you watch. Sure, extra information about certain things can be fun to know, but blatantly saying "you can be wrong if you want, but they're just bros and I think that's great because there aren't that many bros like this on tv" while the show is still ongoing kind of sucks the fun out of it with an added "what do you mean there aren't that many platonic bros"? He makes a decent point, BC and Mao being that vulnerable and open about their feelings with each other is refreshing and great to watch, but sinking the ship so blatantly just does the fandom a disservice in that it essentially "spoils" conversation and speculation.

Right. I'm suddenly reminded of that KotH episode with kid who bullies Hank. His parents said he had a "precocious sense of adventure".

I wonder if adoradad is also the one who told her she has dense bones, because she said it in the same tone of voice

>BC and Mao being that vulnerable and open about their feelings with each other

I feel like this is pretty exaggerated. They're not THAT open. We still dont know much about whats been ailing Badgerclops with his mom and insecurities and "stuff hes been going through" and most of Maos Maos dad stuff was kind of forced out of him.
And not even by Badgerclops.

Again, have you read the post he was commenting on? he saw someone who understood what he was trying to do and he decided to comment on it, not to shut down anything but to reinforce someone's perspective. If you think he did it because people was going to crazy on the gay ships you're delusional.

Attached: inner life.jpg (1152x1296, 348K)

That perspective was "They're not a couple, they're just really good friends!" though.
Which, you know, shuts down them being a couple.

are the subs official?
one of the last "I think I'll just run away" gags from Trading Day was missing in that.

So? it was never going to happen, he didn't even asked people to stop shipping or commented on his characters sexuality.

Also I would like to remember everyone that legend of torbaclaun ended with everyone going apeshit for taking something inofensive out of control. You need to know when to stop.

>So?

SO what you said was fucking wrong, the end.

Remember that the same episode involved everyone having a good time and Mao Mao ruining it.

They’re on the CN app, I don’t know how they could be more official

Parker really is Mao Mao.

Telling someone you cherish them after holding them close as a sort of routine thing that happens is pretty open and vulnerable. I understand that Mao doesn't like to be touched all the time and Clops is a toucher, bu that's not a wall. In fact, Mao has been more expressive with his feelings for BC than BC has been for him.

>If you think he did it because people was going to crazy on the gay ships you're delusional.
Now where was that implied at all in my post? Speaking of delusional.

But yeah I read it. If someone wrote about how much they appreciate Mao and Shin's relationship being explored and what it means to them and Parker replies detailing the more ambiguous aspects of it that would have been explored in the entire plot of their episodes, I'd also feel like the show got a little less fun because he's telling me where they are headed instead of showing me and letting me enjoy the ride.

Their super close moments are one-off jokes that aren't even consistent. And there's only a handful of those even.
Mao Mao has said nice things to Badgerclops like 6 times in 20 episodes.

I remember when Parker posted this tweet about a month ago (before all the new episodes came out) and I thought it was weird because nothing major happened on the show yet and everything was (relatively) quiet on the fandom side. Now I realize that he was playing 4D chess and everybody's losing their fucking minds.

Parker is a genius. It's all according to plan.

Attached: 1566878725595.jpg (1080x603, 193K)

inb4 Parker goes the complete opposite way and decides Badgermao is canon, causing actual real chaos in-line with the Torbaclaun episode.

Not happening, God hates me.

You're clearly blowing this out of proportion by intentionally misunderstanding the situation. At least I hope it's intentional. You even throw in a "so?" and continue in an irrelevant direction that's convenient to support your mindset.

There's no real need to argue with you, Parker clearly has my back on this one. See? Something good came of this!

People seem more pissed off at his point about a lack of affectionate platonic male friends in cartoons causing homophobic bullying than him shooting down the romance, from what I've read at least. They say the lack of gay male characters in lead roles is what causes such bullying and that he should focus on writing a gay character whose romance is taken seriously.
As much as forced romance bullshit bores me I do see shoving Shoverclops out of the closet and giving him a love interest is the most likely recourse here

Attached: 1540917211918.jpg (599x337, 20K)

It's kind of cute actually; Mao Mao is verbal and Badgerclops is physical.

I think Parker underestimates what a close relationship is.

They're not shipped for how intimate they are with each other, they're shipped because they're more like because they're an old married couple.

lol, fuck gayfaggots; I guess.

There's nothing here to misunderstand, people is mad because the ship can't be ambiguous anymore. Sorry that I don't care about the things you care, but this has not diminish the show's quality or changed my perspective on parker as a person, if it happen to you then that's your problem.

Or because, you know, bobo was a dangerous monster.

she's too young for a diagnosis

This
Shipping shows that people are deeply invested in your show, saying "yeah don't get invested" feels like shooting yourself in the foot.

There were some really dynamic shots in the newest eps. Have they all had that and I just didn’t notice, or did different people work on the art direction in these ones?

I hate that now that'll be seen as "recourse" when really it's organic. He even wore his pink sunhat in an episode where he wasn't seducing anyone. It feels like it's something that would unceremoniously happen.

Now that I think about it, it could be revealed in an episode and it might not even need to be censored depending on how it's handled. He's that great of a person, so him liking dudes doesn't even come off as "political" or "propaganda" as shitheads would like to misuse those words.

Unfortunately, you're going to make your insistence on being misinformed everyone's problem.

Enlighten me then fagman, what's so troublesome about the statement that could possibly require 2 whole threads of your constant bitching.

People keep going on about Badgerclops this, Mao Mao that, and I'm just reveling in freeze-frames of the show's background art. It's great.

>Parker was bullied when showing physical affection to his bros
>Wants to make a show about how you're allowed to show physical affection to your bros
>The route cause of the bullying of men being affectionate is the fear of being perceived gay
>Parker proceeds do the equivalent of "no homo" by sinking the ship when he could have just said nothing, counter productive to the message he wants to convey and feeding into the mindset of being gay = bad

He shot his fucking own foot trying to get his message across

If you're reading this as bitching, you just aren't really reading. So you can reread and I'll tell you though Parker didn't completely and intentionally shut down Maoclops shipping, he made it clear how they don't have romantic feelings for each other and likely never will and states his reasoning as a need for more "just bros" characters as if there were ever a shortage on CN or anywhere else. There's a good point in there, but it comes off as poorly thought out.

lives entirely in her imagination

Adorabat is chuuni as fuck and it's my favorite part of the show.

Wind that down to 15 and yea pretty much. There is literally no other reason for someone to want to watch childish shit if not for the characters stimulating something inside

I'm more homophobic than most /pol/tards and I agree, Parker really jumped the gun here.

I watch Mao Mao because my life is cold and bleak, it makes me feel something for eleven minutes and the idea of shipping Mao Mao and Badgerclops didn't occur to me until the scandal popped up.

And I get this, but I don't think he actually feels compelled to say "no homo" as if being gay is bad, I just think the way he said it shows he's caught up on the importance of normalizing bromance, something that is already quite normalized. His want to show that and explore a relationship like that is fine, but drumming up its importance in the face of the lack of gay canon male leads hooking up (something people who hate the "surprise lesbians" would often bring up themselves) comes off as awkward. True, playing the representation guilt olympics is shitty, but that's why he really shouldn't have started it from there in particular.

The whole deal earlier stung me raw, but Parker didn't intend to offend or disenfranchise anyone, and I can't get mad at him for it. So what difference does it make if he said he doesn't view them in a romantic light? It's a cartoon, and means whatever the viewer takes it to mean.

It's been fun, actually. Engaging in conversation about a creative's interaction with the audience is fun. Makes watching the show more worthwhile for me. I don't know about you, but I enjoy the meta of it.

I'm gay, I've lived with non-canon ships my whole life.

But this is the first time in my life that the creator himself has gone up to say NOPE. Just good friends lul.

This is uncharted territory and I'm a little scared for the show's future. At least it'll be remembered, one way or another.

This. I don’t even care about the badgermao shit, I just want to see the new episode discussions.

Right and generally it's more fun to be let down in canon than for it to be spelled out for you so early on.

I just assume furries are gay by default, i blame the furfags

FUCK we didn't even get around to talking about Badgerclops' JO crystals!

Parker's original post happened less than 24 hours ago. It really has been less than a day, as tiring as this all has been. I don't think it's be this bad all the time.

And this is the problem with every person who wants to perpetuate this "controversy". You are putting too much weight in his words, and even putting words that are not even there. I know you are going to start again with the "people care about different thing" shit but seriously, don't you think you're the one blowing things out of proportion? So he took agency over the characters that he created to specify why was his original intention about the relationship, so what? This should not be an issue, this should not be "shooting yourself in the foot". If you want to ship them go ahead and just do it, he is not even telling you not to, in fact, he said "go ahead".

This. /trash/ fucking RUINED Zootopia. Like holy shit, you have a wonderful setting and all you want to do is FUCK IN IT?!

Twitterfaggots are already trying to dig up his history of vore, but he can point to the fact that he didn't write any of the obvious fetish episodes. I strongly doubt the Newgrounds history will come back to haunt him, but you can never be sure about how far cancel culture's willing to go. Damn all the drama, I just want to see more of Adorabat doing adorable shit.

most of the people who are butthurt about this on Twitter are sparkledog furfaggots, how are they fucking judging anyone lmao

Not really, this is a really common thing. Shippers invent a ship. Creator/author/director says that's not happening, the shippers lose their goddamn minds and start lashing out.

Got any drawings?

Furries basically fucking anything in any way imaginable at all times, unless I am informed they do not. But the default is that all furries are hedonistic pansexuals that go after any hole they can.

They're anonymous and aren't depending on this to keep their families fed.

It's the type of people it attracts there. /trash/ board culture is porn first, meaning that most discussion became about who's fucking who and "can we get more porn of ______". Yes, there's some champs in there who are above that, but it really falls to the wayside to the point of any discussion of real news goes ignored. Any fics that are ship free and read like Disney official shorts are unheard of if not completely obscure. I don't want to see that happen to Mao Mao.

They were about the same as pony threads that you could not make it through 4 replies before someone posted porn or felt like reminding the thread how much they wanted to fuck Judy or Gazelle.

You keep saying that but every single post you keep making is "I feel wronged with what happened", I don't care if I can't convince you otherwise, just stop shitting up the thread. If you think that you can't like the show anymore because everything you like is "wrong" then leave already like you said you would a few hours ago.

>Creator/author/director says that's not happening,

Since when? I know this happens a lot IN the shows themselves, but I don't think it's that common for the creator to denounce it.

Uhhh I nead a Source on that

I'm glad that this was the case. It makes for a neat dynamic that I hope gets explored more. Like an episode where they get separated from their perspectives.

You clearly aren't reading my posts or are intentionally confusing me with someone else, but I'm really not sure who because you aren't describing anyone in this thread that I've seen.

This makes no sense to me

>Mao Mao and Badgerclops are a very real and believable gay couple, all their nuances shout gay in almost every episode
>Parker "Lol kidding guys, no homo!"

What the fuck does he honestly expect here? The show is 90% queerbating with no payoff. Was he just trying to attract viewers only to tell, don't show every single time?

i think you guys are completely over exaggerating this drama

it late thread all ready past bump so I will post this not anything bad but we all know mods are going to take it down in the morning enjoy

Pretty sure the show will have to go over to adult swim if they ever time-skip and unveil the adorable psychopath that she'll eventually end up being.

it is kind of sad, this series is a perfect method to introduce positive queer couples in a different format than two random dads of a side character, and can actually produce something relatable for queer kids who would be watching. But then Parker had to go full MAGA and ruin everything.

Reaching.

I don't think anyone's going to take the bait.

here's the thing
>side characters
>bg characters
>side characters. Mr. Ratburn's husband doesn't have any character other than icecream
>bg character
>???
>Last episode.

Why can't we have m/m representation the same way we do f/f reps, like Garnet?

>that snout
No thanks

I am literally going to run away.

or he could have shut the fuck up and let queer kids have a positive role model queer couple in an action show of all things

That's the point he's trying to make. Our homophobic society has conditioned us to think mannerisms similar to Mao Mao and Badgerclops are gay, but they're not, they're perfectly healthy in a heterosexual context and that's not a bad thing. I've seen little kids accuse other kids of being faggots for putting their hands on their best friend's shoulder, or hugging a friend, and that shit's fucked.

Vore is a weird but harmless kink. What the fuck kind of turbosperg is gonna try to "cancel" someone over that shit?

I fucking love this gag

So wouldn't the logical solution be to show that it's okay to be gay instead of to SHIT, NO-HOMO it?

The show looks amazing
ya dude one of the first things I noticed

Yeah, it's not like he's into sounding or scat or anything.

All of the mechanical arm's lines are hilarious.

I'm confused here, their mannerisms cause straight people to think
>Whoa, that's gay
And want to stay away

Meanwhile gay people are seeing the same thing and saying
>Ohshit! That's really gay!
And they get really pissy when someone informs them their ship is not real.

So it kind of looks like....everyone assumes it's gay and reacts to it.

I think that's what he's trying to get at. Close, physical intimacy between men isn't sexual by default and all he did was clarify that.

>All of the mechanical arm's lines are hilarious.
Going back to No Shortcuts, Badgerclops's gadgets all have a fun personality.
>"Unauthorized user. Don't touch me, bro!"
>"Assimilation...basically done. Don't worry about it."

>Oh boy, suck time

He and his best friend do the voice acting for Mao Mao and Badgerclops, and he might've gotten uncomfortable with the implications some people might to draw.

Except gay society is kind of doing the same thing here. They see this and assume it's gay only instead of stay away they get to work promoting it. But still instantly see two friends in a show and start assuming gay couple just as quickly as any homophobe.

I can't really convey it through text but I found
>Warning. Warning. ....WARNING!
to be hilarious. It had like a "Are you even fucking listening?" tone.

I'll bite.

He should just do an episode where they decide to go on a date.

>they go on a date
>BC is like "isn't this nice?"
>Mao Mao is like "I guess it's as nice as these sweety pies can pull off anyways."
>BC: "Yeah...."
>They are just eating lunch for like, a full minute of silence. It's not awkward.
>BC: "I was kind of expecting this to be a bit more than it actually is... Like, I don't feel different than we normally are together."
>MaoMao: "Hm, I get what you mean, I guess it's just the same as we always--"
>monster alarm goes off inexplicably
>"THE MONSTER ALARM!"
>episode proceeds as normal, and nothing was gained or lost.

lol

Not to mention when it had enough and began beating the shit out of Mao Mao.

How can one man be so based

>But still instantly see two friends in a show and start assuming gay couple

Well it never fucking is so why does that offend you? By this point we all know it's just for fun and that we'll never actually get anything decent.

Which is why they should've just said nothing. But he's straight, and likely didn't realize at all how saying "It's time cartoons got some long overdue FRIENDSHIP." is super gay, and not in a good way.

Only if it's an extremely posh restaurant with just the two of them and romantic music quietly playing in the background.

Because it's an unbelievable dick move to approach viewers and tell them
>"Lol fuck you guys no homo!"

He could have just left everything alone and let people think what they want.

I think he didn't mean to take the wind out of anyone's sails, and even most of Tumblr sees that.

I mean it ain't stopping me or anything. Shipping is just stupid non-canonical fun. Never take it too seriously.

>I miss the good old days where we could have fag drags without people complaining
Wow Parker, that's a bit much.

I probably wouldn't have even found out if not for Yea Forums, since nobody goes to tumblr anymore including me, so most of twitter is probably unaware. As long as everyone else can still enjoy the show, I'll get over it eventually.
It's not shipping a straight character is anything new for me.

agree the artist did a shit job with clops

I've never been invested in a ship this much before only to be told it's out by the creator. Ever. And I'm probably older than most of Yea Forums too. I'm sure I'll get over it but right now I'm a bit sour.

It is literally about eating people

This is how it went down.

>decide to let them know by posting about your intentions when you were planning out both of the characters and their relationship

>stay awake, panicking and hoping that this all blows over before he has to turn in the towel, go back to Titmouse, and start doing furry commissions to make ends meet

What he did was wrong, but he wasn't in the wrong for doing it.

Hey, me too.

He was absolutely in the wrong for doing it. He could have shut the fuck up and said nothing at all. Showing one's colors in public SHOULD end a career. I certainly do not want to see someone who I know to have a blatantly anti-queer worldview be in the business of making kids shows.

Yea except actually saying something like
>Yea, I agree they should definitely not ever be a gay couple ever!
in public is the same thing as outright admitting to being anti LBGT and then being proud if it when others make claims of how "proud" they are that a couple in media happens to not be gay. Specifically pointing out how they are not gay.

Parker not only fucked up but he basically admitted to being anti gay.

The anger will wear off with time user.

This is nothing new. It's just another cute, but sadly straight, character in a cartoon that people will just have to ship anyway.

I hate that the reveal had to happen from a fucking coincidental TUMBLR POST of all things, but it's still a good show in its own right.

If a character is not gay they're not gay. Keeping it ambiguous limits your ability to write episodes. For instance, the one with his former love interest. It also sets a bad precedent if you turn every bromance into the characters fucking each other in the ass offscreen.

Damn, I don't think I was this toxic when my grandson came out as a juggalo with a full-back tattoo.

>Keeping it ambiguous limits your ability to write episodes.

.....What?
If it's ambiguous you can write in any direction.

take your meds lol

Gotta say, I'm not too happy with his declaration of being anti gay couples in media. His whole "Right on fellow hetero lads!" comment can only be viewed as showing off how happy he is with seeing other people talk about how a couple happens to not be gay. Like, the actual subject of the post was how amazing it is that a couple is not gay. There really is no other way to take that.

How is
>these two have an intimate friendship and I want to convey that in my cartoon
Anti-gay? The man has a Tumblr for Christ's sake.

no homo bro bro

Yea that was fucking dumb. I like to think most people know to walk on eggshells when saying a damn thing on tumblr of all places.

Me and my friends busted a gut on that one. It's like the Magic Conch Shell.
> Could I have something to eat?!
> No.
> Could I have something to eat?!
> No.
> Could I have something to eat?!
> No.
> Can't you say anything else but "no"?!
> Try asking again.
> Can I have something to eat?
> ''No''.

That's rough, Satan.

Well, it's his first and probably last tv show. He didn't know.

Because he showed up specifically to say they were not gay, and how he likes and agrees with how it's great they are not gay. Like that is the proudest moment of his life that a couple is not queer. Seems incredibly bigoted.

If he said he is incredibly happy a white guy is not black, his career would be fucking over within the hour.

STOP.
TAKING.
THE BAIT.

he worked on other shows

[you]

He didn't set out to bash gays, he set out to show that it's okay for two male friends to get physical, and the fact that everyone is so angry about it illustrates the problem. Same sex physical affection has become gay by default and that's not healthy for kids on a societal level, whether they're straight or not.

Half the people complaining were probably boards artists on other shows. He's probably blacklisted now.
