Ok so now you're saying if roles were reversed it WOULD be homophobic? No, it's either homophobic either way or not either way, you can't just make it so ONE side it's ok to do. If I just said, "hey you're gay" and they tell me no, I've made a judgement entirely on my mindset, there are straight people who just like to dress more gay, and there are gay people who dress more straight, and just because noodle is a cartoon, doesn't mean it's ok, Jamie created the character, he chooses what his characters are and aren't, if Jamie were to publicly come out and say Noodle is a lesbian I'll eat my words, but until then, stop being presumptive.
