  • I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, “What could run off Stamets,” and that’s exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.

    Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I’m not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumbitch!

    Context here would help. MewTwo here was born after horrific genetic experimentation and the moment depicted was MewTwo learning that just because his “father” was an unconscionable monster doesn’t mean that MewTwo is justified in waging war on all more privileged creatures. It isn’t their fault he was made in a lab to subjugate the world, so it’s not the circumstances of his birth that dictates that everyone else should pay.

    From Wikipedia:

    Frank Oz, who previously performed as Bert, stated Bert and Ernie were not gay, saying,

    "They're not, of course, a gay couple. But why that question? Does it really matter? Why the need to define people as only gay? There's much more to a human being than just straightness or gayness."[17][18]
    
    

    Sesame Street went on to clarify further, stating:

    "No, Bert and Ernie aren't gay - they're 'best friends'".[19]
    
    

    The Gaystar News reported that fans reacted negatively to this assertion. Frank Oz later tweeted in September 2018

    A last thought: If Jim and I had created Bert and Ernie as gay characters they would be inauthentic, coming from two straight men. However, I have now learned that many view them as representative of a loving gay relationship. And that's pretty wonderful. Thanks for helping me understand.[20][21]
    
    

    So, I would say they weren’t intended that way from the start but only because the writers didn’t think to do so. Frank Oz is a great reference for these things, and if he says “I love how you see them as representation” then that’s good enough for me.
