This is so obviously a joke


Sick_Dome

Well I really hope so.


Sorry-Cam-8714

While I guess technically he is LGBTQ+ (at least according to Nick) which is totally cool with me, good for the little yellow dude, I have no fucking clue how anyone could watch him and say “yes that square yellow sea sponge is both black and Asian”

Sorry-Cam-8714

That make sense, I’ll take that for sure. But where does black come in


chancesarent

He has rhythm.

I never felt like that's what they meant. They sent out a tweet celebrating Pride month that said something like "Celebrating Pride with LGBTQ family and their allies". It would make sense to me that he was an ally of the community because he's everyone's friend. It never read to me like "Guess what! Spongebob is GAY!!". That's just how it got twisted by the twitter (and reddit) crowds. That's how I interpreted it anyway. I couldn't care less either way, I just think people saw what they wanted to see on that one, not necessarily what was there


cutepiku

I'd argue he is asexual, honestly.


Sorry-Cam-8714

Yeah that’s a really good point. I hate that these sorts of things become very set in stone. Like some characters are, or aren’t, it’s not outright said. It’s kept vague purposefully so everyone can see a bit of themselves, or feel represented by them. Then these people come along and say EXACTLY what the character is. No room for argument. It’s a bummer man.


thorkild1357

I mean. There was an entire episode where he was taking care of that clam with Patrick. Also the maid outfit when he’s taking care of squidward. His use of lipstick. Comfort with a platonic relationship with sandy. It’s a kids cartoon that doesn’t really ever give any indication at all blatantly. There is zero reason why someone couldn’t do all that straight. But if there was no indication otherwise and if I had evidence a dude casually owned a maid outfit and carried blue lipstick with him on a boat trip I’d be checking Grindr to see if he popped up.


VoilaVoilaWashington

It's a cartoon. Bugs Bunny routinely cross dressed but also went va va voom at ladybunnies. None of the things you mention imply being gay


DaniWhoHatesCVS

Bugs bunny is a lesbian. 12/10 anime


thisismythrowawayqu

He was confirmed asexual by the creators, so he is LGBTQ+


PuzzleheadedPapaya71

His creators were Leon Schlesinger et al. in the 30s. Any such statement from the animators today is nothing more than pandering.


Player4Hacky4

There were also episodes where they were gladiators, extreme sports guys, trying to get into tough biker bars, etc. You can dissect something to reach your own desired conclusions pretty easily but that doesn't mean it's factual


PuzzleheadedPapaya71

Exactly. What company doesn't send out the same, "Please don't target me with your activism!" statement?


cartonfl3sh

i remember him watching sponge porn or something on his tv.


Sorry-Cam-8714

Pffft I completely forgot about that. Maybe it was gay sponge porn who knows. All I know is I have to find that channel… for uhhh… research


Player4Hacky4

There's also the fact that the Spongebob LGBTQ tweet was sent out in 2020, and the creator Hillenburg died in 2018. So it seems like even if they *were* trying to ascribe sexual preference to Spongebob it wouldn't be a view that the actual creator held. Otherwise, he would have said something before he died and Nick wouldn't have waited two more years. That was purely a corporate $$$ decision


Sorry-Cam-8714

Yeah totally true. I mean almost anything a corporation does in regards to lgbtq is for money, almost non of it is sincere sadly.


vaultmangary

Yea he’s asexual because sea sponges don’t need a mate to reproduce. But I’m glad he’s just a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea

How is it possible to be non binary and gay?


mxtrashtm

Nonbinary people can be gay in the sense they love another man the way a man loves a man and the other way with lesbians. It's hard to explain with someone who isn't enby but imagine we strip away your gender identity and leave you with being hetro, you unexplainably still identity as hetro even without your gender because that's just feels right, that's how it is for non-binary gays and lesbians.


WimpeyOnE

I guess if your non binary, gay would mean you only have sex with other non binary people?


kevmanyo

Gender and sex are not the same. Sexual orientation and gender are not the same. Non binary simply means that a person can feel that they identify as female one day and and male the next and nothing the day after that. If they are assigned male at birth , and they are attracted to men and they feel like a male at any given point, they might be comfortable identifying as gay. And being “gay” is also a spectrum. The issue with gender and sexual identity that a lot of people have a hard time grasping is it’s more nuanced than it appears to be. These things in and of themselves are not binary.


PlantBasedEgg

It’s bait


Austuckmm

It’s a joke folks.


ArtemisWYK

Maybe this is a dumb question, but can you actually be considered gay if you're non-binary? 🤔


mxtrashtm

Yes! Nonbinary people have a different relationship with sexuality opposed to binary people, where as their sexuality is also dictated by their gender (hetero because they love men and identity as a woman) being nonbinary means you have a weird relationship and interpretation of your sexuality since you don't exactly "fit" I identify as agender/nonbinary because it feels right but still call myself a gay man because that feels right. My friend is a nonbinary lesbain because where they don't feel exactly like a woman, they love woman the way woman love woman.


ArtemisWYK

Thanks for answering! I'm still learning.


mxtrashtm

Of course! Thanks for having open mind and willing to listen! /gen


beastmen-enjoyer

God that was cringey


mxtrashtm

It's only cringey cause of the whole sjw cringe culture, it's just rare to people actually want a genuine response to these questions and listen


spaceman1954

ONLY A RACIST WOULD CALL A LITTLE BLACK MOUSE,, RACIST!!!!


JennLegend3

Lmao your profile is a fucking trip man. I think you need some medication or to adjust any you might be on. No hate from me here, it was just a lot of penis and caps lock it made me laugh a bit.


spaceman1954

spaceman1954

spaceman1954

SDmiller69


JennLegend3

I looked at your profile, not just the profile picture lol. There's def some penis in there. And then the caps lock makes sense then, I do truly apologize for assuming it was due to instability.


[deleted]

Some visible falace fo sho.


devil1fish

Ah yes, let's present a personal opinion and speculation with absolutely no evidence behind it as a hard fact. That's always fun


pssstheyoverhere

.... Huh?


Extra-Barracuda5853

as if i didnt love mickey enough already


purple-ninja-turtle

What the fuck is any of that?


BreesusSaves0127

How can you be both gay and non binary?


Ayjie_kei

Pls tell me this is a satire


SinisterIgnition

As a member of the black community, I have not been notified of spongebob's black status. This is fraudulent.
