Me and my friend were discussing the show, and the controversy over Spongebob being supposedly gay... I think the official quote on Wiki was "Spongebob and Patrick are paired with arguably erotic intensity"

So I have forever tainted his viewing of the show with my observations, and now do the same to you!

Spongbob and Patrick.

Gay lovers, yet attempt to hide it by not living together.

Squidward

Elderly foreigner, with some closet issues. His sexuality confusion fuels much of his dislike for his two gay neighbours.

Mr Krab's.

The town Jew, who just happens to have a very strong passion for money.

Sandy Cheeks.

See's right through Spongbob and Patrick, befriending them as a fag-hag. Sold her ranch to pay for the sex change operation. Has a penis.

Plankton.

Mentally unstable, unable to make friends outside of the internet. Spends more money on porn membership then on getting the Chum Bucket up and operating.

Pearl.

Stupid enough to believe that Mr Krab's is her real dad...

Mrs Puff.

While she is clearly married (hence the Mrs) she continues to fail Spongebob on his boating exams so she can pursue a classroom affair with him. He purposefully fails to go along with this, as she is a nice distraction from Patrick, and he is somewhat interested in women from time to time.

Laughing.

I have no problem with characters being gay (Is this where I say some of my best friends are gay to cover up my obvious homophobia?), but I really do not see Spongebob and Patrick as gay. I guess I just see them as too 'innocent' to even recognize any sort of sexuality.

Am I just being naïve?

ooook....*Slowly steers Sabby away* Someone obviously has way too much time on his hands...we must fix that. O_o

Did I mention that Squilliam is the object of Squidwards deeply buried affections?

That I could see. And Sandy is more than enough butch. But Spongebob and Patrick? Nah. I just don't see it.

Look, just because a Wol-I mean Sponge pals around with a Leopa-I mean Starfish, and they hold hands, and do all kinds of things together, and sleep over at each other's house, and in the same bed, does not make them gay.

It's all the other stuff.

I'd add Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy to the list, but... well, what am I guna say that hasn't been covered in the show already? :/

Trying to remember other characters... who have I missed so far?

Wolfy · « **Reply #7 on:** September 19, 2010, 12:02:12 PM »

King Triton and his Daughter, who was clearly there just to be a plot device and a love interest for Patrick.

King Neptune and his..entourage of random Roman gods. O_o

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are of course the Batman and Robin of the Universe.

Ooh...how do you explain the "CHOCOLATE!!!!!!" guy, Sabby? Lusting after Spongebob and Patrick...

Sabby · « **Reply #8 on:** September 19, 2010, 12:10:59 PM »

Nah, that chocolate guy was just the town loony with filth encrusted windows who never bathes. Spongebob and Patrick are the only two people in town who don't seem to realize you stay the hell away from this dudes lawn, let alone KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

And yeah, with MMM and BB, I was more referring to Alzhiemer's

that's about the only thing I can pick out, but that's not an observation at all, that's how the show portrays them.

Also, nothing really I can do with the underwater God's. Same reason as with MMM and BB. They are already portrayed as prancing, flamboyant rich people

So making that observation doesn't work.

I still say you're reading too deeply into this...

They only thing I've ever looked into this much was a work of Shakespeare. And I was forced to do that, you people have too much time on your hands...

I think it's one of those cases of 'you can look but it's too easy to see what you want to see'.

Sabby · « **Reply #12 on:** September 19, 2010, 11:42:18 PM »

You guys do realize this is a work of comedy, right?

I'm not actually implying that Squidward is an old foreigner who doesn't want to admit he has the hots for Squilliam. This is just a bit of fun I'm poking at the 'Spongebob is gay' controversy.

One of the guys I knew in Brunswick was ALWAYS saying that this or that character was gay. I mean EVERYONE was gay according to him.

I think everyone who watches this horrible excuse of a cartoon, has this.

Shush you xD Spongebob's awesome.

According to him Big Bird/Snufful<whatever, the elephant guy> were gay as well as bert and enrie, and oscar on Seseme Street, Buffy was, Angel/Spike were a former couple, half the staff of B5, EVERYONE on Xena/Hercules, Picard, Geordi/Data (from ST:NG) and more than I can recall. He was trying hard to convince a bunch of us in a Buffy game that Xander was in the show.

Big Bird/Snuffles aren't a gay couple...

Snuffles is Big Birds Drug induced Hallucination.

Everyone knows that.
