Honestly, I'm just thankful that aside from that, it's largely flown under their radar. SpongeBob fandom discourse is bad enough as is. We don't need conservatives making it worse.
There was a few years ago during pride month where Nickelodeon tweeted a rainbow SpongeBob image and there was a huge Twitter debate over whether the Bob is gay or asexual. The people really care about Bob’s sexuality
Ummmm….God…..I really hate to correct you almighty one….but I believe the kids now call that time period the “aughts” if you’re American & the “noughties” if you’re British. 😂🤷🏼♂️
It’s a little freaky that the RWNJs are so obsessed with the sex life of other species as well as that of humans. They must not be secure in their own sex lives. Too bad they can’t live up to their own expectations.
They seem to believe that it only takes the slightest 'push' for someone to turn gay, like they've had that drunken conversation with their MAGA bros: "I'm not GAY, but if I absolutely HAD to fuck a dude, I would either do Brad Pitt or some well hung black guy".
They doth protest too much, methinks.
Didn't we already live through that?
You need to stop punishing us, we are not the false prophets.
If you need more power, I know some all powerful Drag Queens.
I’m waiting for the day they say that I can’t use public bathrooms because as a gay man I might not be able to control myself with all the dudes in the bathroom. It is the worst aspects of middle school education and maturity with the worst fucking adults they. Of find. 💀 I can see this happening.
In the ‘90s Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority blamed ‘Tinky Winky’ for promoting the Gay lifestyle, because his head had a purple triangle and he carried a purse.
Actually their l closeted lopsided thinking was a great thing. It sent Teletubbie sales out the roof.
I went out of my way to buy a Tinky keychain stuffie at Mc Donalds. They were sold out at a bunch of locations. Had it on my knapsack at my homophobic highschool... I really wish I still had it. Would totally rock one on my bag today If I had one.
When I was 40 back in ‘98, hubby had a surprise birthday party for me. My cake had this adorable Tinky Winky doll on top. After all these years I dunno what became of him.
Southern Baptists at least in the Bible Belt have been working towards that since it first came out, which is why I wasn’t allowed to watch it as a kid…. What I would love to know, though, is why my Birb dislikes SpongeBob #finchapp
I actually had a friend who, when our kids were little, prohibited hers from watching SpongeBob because she said "his relationship with Patrick is 'inappropriate'." (We are not friends any more.)
They are going to ban James Bond movies where the baddie is a billionaire oligarch with a huge ego and crap sex life, who don’t care that those working for them die because its too close to the bone
Good one, God!
By the way, did you have anything to do with the severe polar weather system that will descend upon Washington DC for Donald J. Trump’s inauguration as our 47th US President?
Is that intense frigid weather & snow on Jan. 20th a sign from God?
What are you telling DJT & the USA?
I’ll bet you TFG will be rounding up the guns. Dictators don’t allow guns in the hands of civilians. Maybe that will be the thing that turns MAGAts against him.
They'll give their guns to Trump if they get "reasons" enough to break the cognitive dissonance of the 2A "Angel" (sponsored by Remington) that sits on their shoulder telling them to buy more guns.
That will be hard I think the only thing they love more than Trump is guns I mean damn so many children have been sacrificed to the 2A Angel but maybe the all mighty NRA can help him get them and then sell them more guns 💰💰
And to think, the very same NRA was onboard during the Reagan/GHBW years for handgun control. Now? You propose a limit on how many guns someone can buy in a year, like say, twelve guns (which if you start when you're 18, that's a lot of guns), and MAGA's like "Well, what about Christmas?"
I always wondered how they never thought this through with the guns. You don’t see any other fascist/communist nation strolling into the mall with a machine gun
Exactly. He can't do what he wants with all these guns on the streets. He might think his Maga will protect him but once they are hungry ans have to pick their own fruit ans veggies, shit will get real.
t's LGBT one day, woman the next, immigrants the day after, Canada, Mexico, Greenland etc, we either all stand together, or they pick us off individually.
I watched spongebob turned gay after season 3 watched Harry Potter turned me into a warlock now here I am a gay warlock creeping around women's bathrooms
That’d be beyond ridiculous. SpongeBob is just happy
But, happy does mean gay
So, by golly does that make him happy gay? Oh no! Only weirdos would sexualize SquarePants.
Will they demand to see his genitalia too?
He lives in a pineapple under the sea…
Nancy Mace wants to watch how he pees.
I’m waiting for them to try and ban the upcoming Superman movie because “he stands for woke ideals” or some BS. When really all Superman is doing is standing up to tyrants and a mega tech bro CEO.
I would have thought all the bears that don't wear pants should go first - like Yogi and Boo Boo. I mean they're dapper with their ties, but it's not 'no pants friday' everyday.
Because they have these feelings they don’t understand, but as long as they don’t act on them by adopting the “lifestyle”, it’s all good, and probably just God testing them, or something.
That and because they like to promote the being-a-bunch-of-pricks-who-can’t-mind-their-own-business lifestyle.
Scientific fact: Sponges reproduce asexually by sporing. Sex and gender are irrelevant. Next time these Bible thumpers push that anti gay shit just drop that scientific bomb on them.😝😝
That would be sad. SpongeBob is my ALL TIME FAVORITE! At first I thought it was Mickey Mouse, Mr. Magoo AND Speed Racer but SpongeBob took them out in one fell swoop!
I cant wait to see some horrible fundie CGI version where the kids play Mom and Dad, and the dad is like "get back in the kitchen or I'll send you to the moon" Kids would think: I'll be an Astronaut if I don't do sex-prescribed housework; yay!
SpongeBob had a huge crush on Sandy the girl squirrel from Texas. And in the Soongebob Movie, Patrick is in love with Princess Mindy, daughter of King Neptune. I watched a lot of SpongeBob when my kids were little. A lot. We always thought that Squidward and Squilliam would make an available couple.
Omg this was literally my step-mom's logic...Despite Spongebob being a staple for my two older siblings and I, and single father...But the episode of Spongebob and Patrick raising a clam made her think the show was The Devil™

Going to a period of cancel culture… ✌️
During SpongeBob's heyday in the early 2000s, there was a brief controversy where conservatives were screaming the show promotes homosexuality.
It likely stemmed from the episode Rock-a-Bye Bivalve where SpongeBob and Patrick act like an old married couple and raise a baby clam.

Isn't that bad enough ?
That's enough attempted shame for today on a crowd that's clearly
already underwater.
WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON???
2 Mommies....

I don't know where my mind went, but I misread your comment as...
"SpongeBob Sugarpants"
...so...that broke my brain for a moment.
🤣
Oh dear, not enough sleep on my end

how was I to know? I have never seen him out with Lindsey Graham.
You need a hobby.
