@@lazinblazin9313 Im sorry i just over reacted i dont know if its a joke or not but can you please explain this to me. Why do people make head cannons on cartoons do they not have anything better to do I do not mind head cannon, but I do not like it when they push it down other thoughts. I am just turned 15 I do not understand much and to be honest I found out about the LGBTQ club when I was 13 and everything I liked as a kid got ruined, I used to really enjoy rainbow because it makes me remember happier times to when I was little but just liking them know makes people gay. Even in shows and movies they have rainbows behind a character and know they are in the club because of people's head cannons I do not get it. Like being a fun person like Leo makes you gay know the way you walk makes you gay I just do not understand. I though being in the LGBTQ club was about who you like not how you talk like or how you stand walk or sit. I used to cross my legs as a kid, but people called that gay somehow, I do not get it when I talk sometime, I make gesture with my hand to explain thing better I grew up with it but just doing that makes me gay know. Admiring another person beauty or handsomeness does not make you gay. A handsome man is a handsome man. I acknowledge the handsomeness of other men, because I also like them to admire my own good looks in return. You get what you give, right? So, if someone says something smart, I will say so. If someone looks good, likewise, I will say so. Even if that someone happens to be a man. No, it does not make me homosexual.

@JuzztJazzy It's a yes and no really, yes being gay is about what you're attracted to, but there is a culture/community that the LGBT has built. People part of the LGBT have observed common behaviors and traits among themselves, some use these as identifiers and assume if someone is LGBT or at least not homophobic. Identifying if we're in a safe space or not is important. Since majority of non-LGBT or homophobic people are not comfortable in gender expression and using flamboyant gestures. For media, it's usually just a character having these real life traits, being inspired by queer people, or being actual queer representation. A flamboyant cocky rogue, a flamboyant egoistical villain, a masc villainous, or two buddies that seem way too close. These are characters that appear in media that do not express their sexuality, but are queer coded. (These rogues commonly are pan/bi in fantasy/DND, Scar, Ursula, the buddy cops from Gravity Falls) These characters don't express their sexuality at all or most of the time, but have been inspired by queer people or was confirmed to be queer, but couldn't be portrayed this in the media openly.

Only thing I can think of is critcising the theory itself, some fan theories have implications of sterotypes that could be harmful or repetitive. Though this has also been used to dismiss any fan theory, for no good reason, just simply not being canon, to dismiss fanmade representation, or to tell other people what's the "correct" way to relate to a character.

I just realized something. If you take the colors of the stickers on Mikey and his plastron color, you get the pansexual colors. I could be reaching, especially since the stickers aren’t exactly the same shade of pink and blue that you would see on the pan flag, but I can still kinda see it in a way. I think Raph also wore a jacket in that episode where they were doing makeover montages and it had the pansexual flag colors. Pretty neat for all those pans out there Edit: okay so I looked it up and the colors on the pan flag are also described as magenta, yellow and cyan. Mikey’s stickers are described as magenta and cyan respectively. So yeah, there’s that.

He might not be, but in certain scenes he gives off the vibes. This feels slightly like how someone described me once.

another reason leo is the biggest queer-coded character is because in "Clothes Don't Make The Turtle" there is SO many references to QUEER pop culture especially in leo's montage. but ofcourse this is for haha funnies and just headcanons lol

Heck during the scene where Leo tells Casey they already lost the key, instead of counting the Sparkle he has (which is totally on brand for him and I love it), I see the mask tails flip! It was literally like he has long hair draping over his shoulder and he flips it back! I LOVE the little things like that!

Y'all realize saying Leo is straight (especially as it pertains to this iteration) is just as much a headcanon as saying he's not? Both labels diverge from canon, period. And yet the LGBT+ are pushing this label on him because every single character ever created is cishet until proven guilty? Clownery.

Also, the franchise has been around for 35 years. People already complained that Raph being the initial leader instead of Leo “ruined their childhood” so having Leo going for guys may do the same.

0:57 yes. No like seriously I’m fully convinced he’s gay and has ADHD and like. Fucking relatable.

Considering hes named for Leonardo DaVinci it would make mucho sense

My head canons for these characters are honestly that Raph is either bisexual or pan sexual. For Leo it’s obviously that he’s gay 🌈🌈. For Mikey it is definitely pansexual. For Donnie it’s biromantic/asexual. For April I feel as if she might be a lesbian. For Cassandra I sort of head canon that she is transgender. Finally for Casey Jones Jr. I head-canon he is bisexual. Those are just my opinions I don’t know about anyone else but remember they are just head canons.

Leo being yassified would’ve never happened until this series.

I think that whole, “doesn't stop moving" part is just them working with every bit of the movie as they could because it's a movie, so go big or go home. Even with three most minute things like that scene.😆 And I talk with my hands too, helps thoughts move and helps accentuate things I say.

I said queer coded for a reason. Yeah he isn't canonically Queer in the 1987 show. But from his clothing choices to what he loves to nerd out to like the Musketeers overall gives off this impression. There are many moments throughout many episodes where Leo gives off serious Queer vibes. The entire episode where Leo thinks he is a Musketeer is a good example of that. This isn't even getting into his interesting bond with Usagi. Leo is definitely Queer coded in so many moments even if he isn't confirmed. 1987 Leo I would say is probably Bi from my headcanon. Also, him liking a girl doesn't mean he isn't any less Bi/Pan/etc. Also, if we are talking about that creepy adult woman Lotus who thought Leo is hot, yeah that isn't a crush! What she did is predatory behavior! She is creepy throughout that episode! Also, Leo never really was interested in her and mostly was fighting her throughout the entire episode. It was mostly her being creepy to a literal teenager. But overall, I say that episode sucked so badly and everytime she appeared she was the worst! I was so glad when she finally left in a later episode. But I said MLM for a reason! I never said Gay! But I definitely don't think Leo is straight either. Just because you can't see it due to being Straight yourself, doesn't mean us Queer people who understand Queercoding in media don't have evidence that Leo is Queer. Especially when you don't have to look for evidence to have basic representation as a Straight person. There is a lot of textual moments that give off Queer coded vibes for Leo within 1987. His fashion sense alone sometimes!😂 Rise Leo is sooooo Queercoded and even has textual moments from that entire episode with Don Suave where Leo literally thought he is so hot to Leo even dressing up as a golden Adonis. Leo literally bows to Don Suave due to his hotness! But from how he dresses to even how he says things sometimes gives off that impression too! Leo throughout many incarnations definitely gives off Queer coded vibes and I am not the only one who has pointed that out! Take your homophobia somewhere else!

I would also like to highlight the point on him moving that entire speech sequence. I seriously love how the rise characters are always so expressive even when simply talking. They’re always moving, which massively increases the amount of boarding and animation work, but adds so much! Especially with Leo, his liveliness and larger than life personality comes through with his nonstop gestures, constant movement and over-expressiveness. No other animated show have I seen do this, and gosh does it add so much.

bi leo is a super valid headcanon! so is ace leo but you can be ace while ALSO being gay or bi (i know bc i'm literally a panromantic ace lmao)

Why are people so invested in a cartoon turtles sexuality

Leo: *Breaths* These guys: Hah gay!!!!

even in the lair games episode, he sits like a gay person.

In the old series Leo was like the most mature, kind of funny how it's the opposite now

I literally watched the movie yesterday, this popped into my recommends and I never felt more understood by the algorithm in my life

my name is leo, im queer and i can confirm, leo is queer

Why is Hamato Leonardo the funniest name in the history of ever

He sounds the gayest, but Mikey is the one with the pink inverted triangle

SO TRUEEEE i also headcanon mikey as queer, specifically pan and genderqueer, none of the hamato fam are straight in my brain

He seems more happy-go-lucky. I never understood where the idea of him being gay came from.

Leo is so queer coded at this point the closest is glass.

We love a guy who's flamboyant af!!!!

1:34 THAT NOISE?!??!?!?! 🤨

Leos the most expressive one out the group when he really puts in the effort

as someone who is also a gay (adhd) leo kinnie. i whole heartedly agree ur 100% correct on all fronts.

He is slaying too hard….

Even in this movie, LEONARDO is still our M.V.P. 👑

Was looking for scenes to use in a fan edit and found this, I love it

I fully believe that if they had the budget and the time, Leo would literally never stop moving. And it’s a whole he’s both gay and neurodivergent ✨

1:53 i sit like that, im straight and i only do that because its comfortable and i have adhd, in conclusion he has adhd i might do gay kind of stuff but its because i have adhd leo acts younger than he actually is

0:28 I do that walk irl

“Are the hand gestures a gay thing or a neurodivergent thing” both, it’s both

-is suddenly hyper-aware of hand gestures -screams because I don't wanna do them anymore cuz I'll notice but I can't convey my thoughts properly if I don't gesture at least vaguely

My headcanons are that Leo’s gay, Donnie and Mikey are bi, and Raph is the supportive big brother who doesn’t quite get it but is trying his best

@@GalaxyHanArt Honestly, either one works. He’s either incredibly supportive from the sides or he’s just helping his brothers come to terms with themselves like he had to.

This is honestly just Ben Schwartz doing Ben Schwartz things. I mean, look at sonic? He talks with his hands A LOT.

The “suh prize!” Lives in my head rent free.

leo is the hot confident gay i aspire to be one day 😔

As someone who has ADHD,and is asexual and biromantic,I can tell you right now. Hand gestures are *definitely* both.

The hands thing is a neurodivergent thing and I say this as someone who always does it and I’m fully straight and autistic

Donnie's the one who's canonically autistic and Mikey has canonical inattentive ADHD, so they're definitely neurodivergent, but even despite that I do see Leo having some traits of ADHD... I'm thinking about adopting the ✨fully neurodivergent and queer/ally ninja turtle family✨ headcanon because it just makes a lot of sense to me personally

Even if he wasn't gay, there's just at least no way someone can look me dead in the eyes and tell me that, that turtle is straight.

What are the odds Ben Schwartz would portray TWO roles as a flamboyant ninja who bounces between incredibly cool and exceedingly incompetent?

The raph and leo ones is just brotherly love

I don’t think it’s shipping (at least I hope to god it isn’t), but he can still be gay and use his typical mannerisms despite interacting with his family.

WOAH yeah no i never meant to imply that was supposed to be romantic, i just meant leo's pronunciation of "crevasse" was a bit fruity trust me that wasn't a romantic implication at all it was 100% platonic
