1. Were you honestly expecting gay characters in a Nickelodeon show?

2. They are definitely in the minority

[altuscor.livejournal.com]

I guess not, but it would've been great. Besides, it does seem to sell itself off as a more mature cartoon series, so a part of me wouldn't think of it as that much of a stretch.

If it was on a different channel, maybe. But it's nickelodeon and they wouldn't risk that kind of backlash from crazy parents. The creators of the actual show might be up for it though.

A murder suicide on a kid's show? Totally fine. But apparently having gay people is just too risque for some parents.

[anonymouslyyours]

Your last sentence so freaking much. IRL where I live parents who had a daughter on a local baseball team tried to get a gay couple banned from attending the gay couple's own daughter's practices. Thankfully the other parents shot them down and suggested Mr. & Mrs. Homophobia didn't attend practices if they had so much trouble with it. Mr. & Mrs. Homophobia got in trouble with deputies recently for letting their son have a "Fight Club" in their garage where a kid got seriously hurt. Family values for the win.

[fuchsiascreams]

WOW.

[(Anonymous)]

It's really not. The heaviest issue at present is a very convoluted and distressing oppression of minorities and those minorities taking the fight too far.

[(Anonymous)]

i am pretty sure they've never clarified which one was the majority.

I thought it was obvious by Katara being the only waterbender in the whole of the Southern Water Tribe? If that's not a good reason, there's the fact that the highest seats of power are held almost exclusively by benders in the original series, the use of bending to terrorize citizens and commit crime in LoK, and the Council and the elite metalbending police force in LoK. If the benders aren't a minority, they are quite clearly a privileged class.

Oh, I see where you got that. Sorry, I guess I should have said "non-privileged class" or something of that sort. I mean, original anon hasn't seen the series, so I was trying to sum it up.

[bellerose11788.livejournal.com]

They meant minority as far as privilege not how many of them there are. The benders in this world have more privilege due to their strength and powers. Sometimes it is used to oppress the non bending minority.

[altuscor.livejournal.com]

Man, I am just not getting this show. I couldn't get into the first one, and though this does stand a better chance of being more interesting, I can't seem to get excited about this one. I feel like such a black sheep for not, well, being enthusiastic about the series as a whole.

[cashay]

and even with that they can't deal with properly. I mean in the end the average non-benders are ignored and we get only the extremists vs. the benders and in that scenario the benders are always the good ones. We don't even get to see the reasons why people decided to join the equalists, they tried to make them less black and more grey but I think they failed pretty epcially at that.

[(Anonymous)]

Even the newest Thundercats handled the oppressors/minorities issues better.

[cashay]

My experience with Korra is that they're trying to balance it between a kids/young teenagers show and an adult show. So far they fail rather epically in my opinion. I like the show but I always notice how they switch their way they tell the story or treat characters so yeah it can't decide yet.

[chanterofelegies]

Well, I wasn't expecting murder/suicide either, anon.

[(Anonymous)]

There HAS been a gay character in a Nickelodeon cartoon, by the way. So, just pointing that out there :P

[(Anonymous)]

Whom?

[altuscor.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna have a guess and say Spongebob, but I'm really not sure...

same

bklahisod,kk

I meant "Who?"

how do i engilsh

nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

The teacher on Hey Arnold was thought to be gay by the fanbase, and when they asked the creator, he confirmed it. It was only implied on the show itself, though.

I'm pretty sure there were a few other shows that did the same thing, but I don't know how many of them were outright confirmed.

[avatarmn]

Him from Powerpuff Girls seems pretty heavily implied to be gay.

[(Anonymous)]

Camp /= gay

[(Anonymous)]

It was confirmed by the show's creator that said character is gay

[(Anonymous)]

Nevel Papperman?

[(Anonymous)]

Mr.Simmons from Hey Arnold

[inkedfeathers]

What about Ren and Stimpy? Although, I think that was after they left Nick...
