Is Bender Gay?

[#40 :]

Well now that I know what burns your gammon, go **** yourself tnuk.  Go **** yourself in your ear, and may Margaret Thatcher sit on your face and spin around your mouth like she is on playground roundabout going WOO WOOO WOOO WOO WOO WOOOOOOO.

PS does it annoy you more if I write **** or f**k or f*ck?  I am guessing the last one, since it makes it even more explicitly obvious what the subject curseword is, but prissily only censors one letter so as not to annoy the mods.  

I have to admit Tachyon I am holding back most of the time, all the time.  I'm still holding back now.  I don't want to get banned if I dig deeper in my classy guttural vocabulary.  But the compliment is very sweet, thankyou.  


Bender: not gay.  If he wanted Fry's fine ass, he would have taken it, got bored of it and dumped it (pun kind of intended) by now.

So you do understand why I voted for you as most predictable PEELer, tnuk.  In this case I was only giving my assessment of Space Goldy's capabilities in the art of Cuss-fu.  Reading her comments as she warmed up brought back vivid memories of the Merlins I've heard over the years and I suspected that was a sound with which you might be familiar.

I agree that using asterisks or other punctuation marks and signs as one-for-one substitutions for letters in cuss words <Beelzebot's voice> "lacks subtlety" </>.  And I am a member of boards from which one will be banned for doing so after a warning.  If one simply must use a direct substitution, an em-dash substituting for the entire word is my preference.  That way there is some subtlety and art involved and there might be multiple meanings depending on the context.

And I have a strong suspicion that Spacy has the facility to express herself in a fluent and colourful fashion using phrasing which avoids the explicit, unsubtle cuss words.  But still gets the point across in the end.  Amiright, Goldy?


Back to Bender.  No, I don't think he's gay.  He's "multisexual", and willing to get down with whichever person, robot, or device happens to vibrate his antenna at the moment.

You can't just have you characters swear for the sake of swearing!  That makes me feel fucking angry!

Well Tachyon that is how i like to view myself, so I certainly am pleased/proud/smug/conceited that someone has expressed that view without me insisting they say such a thing. 

As for back to Bender: yes.  I don't think he finds men attractive, as he would have slept with one now if he did.  Everything he does find attactive he pursues with singleminded devotion until he gets bored of her and moves on to the next lovely gynoid that takes his fancy.

This thread is gay.

This thread is gay.

You're gay!

[#45 :]

This is such a stupid thread............

Trey and Matt are right, far too many people try to read too much into things. They're called "gags" for a reason.

It's not as if the Professor still has that "Thug Life" tattoo is it now!

That joke was gay...

[#47 :]

You know this thread is even gayer then my magic trick from when I still had a penis.

I would go into an abandoned high rise carpack with five to eight migrant workers, and forty five minutes later, I would come out with three ten pound notes.  Magic!

That sounds rather like Hedonismbot (Who will do anything he cannot chase up a tree...in that case, he will do the tree instead).

[#49 :]

A man, ravishing a tree, simply because he can not reach the homeless teenage runaway and his girlfriend who are seeking shelter in the top branches?  Oh sirrah, how wonderfully absurd and depraved!

[#50 :]

*reads thread*

Well, goodbye brain cells, was nice knowing you.

[#51 :]

Hedonismbot is probably the most gay robot on the show...

[#52 :]

What about the Gay Robot? (Top Left)

[#53 :]

Hedonismbot is probably the most gay robot on the show...

Nope. He's rather "omnisexual" (also giving the word "omnipotence" a whole new meaning )

[#54 :]

You're all gay.

[#55 :]

Hedonismbot Coldangle is probably the most gay robot person on the show this thread

Well said!

[#56 :]

You can't even spell my name... when it's written right in front of you.

Illiteracy is gay.

[#57 :]

Bender's not gay. He spends all his time chasing females. Things that self-identify as female anyhow. Fembots, the PE ship, human women, etc.

I suppose it's possible to understand why Miolnir wondered about it though, back in 2000 when the series was new. Can't blame the guy for wishful thinking.

[#58 :]

You're all gay.

That's not very acute of you to say, coldangle


Yes, I hate me for that too..but I had to say it..

[#59 :]

What about the Gay Robot? (Top Left)

*pic*

My gaydar must have been turned off for that scene...

Neither can Bianca

Ctrl+C, it works wonders...

I think you are missing the joke, beanso

[#63 :]

Who are you, Mr. Tulip? I have no idea how any of those are supposed to be pronounced.

Damned...I had to think 2 seconds before I got that Tulip remark...I'm getting old...

[#65 :]

I'm older than when I just clicked this thread ...

[#66 :]

Acute... angle.
I mean... it's right there...
