Is Splinter gay in ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem?’
An allegation that Splinter is gay in
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
has thrown the internet into a tizzy.
It all started from a scene in the movie where Splinter makes out with a mutant cockroach, Scumbag.
The reviewer Price of Reason assumed this meant Splinter is gay.
Though a poster identifies Scumbag as "him," director Jeff Rowe revealed this was a marketing mistake.
"We always imagined her to be a female cockroach. And that one poster was a slip up." — Jeff Rowe
While it wouldn't have been an issue if Splinter were gay, the internet tends to react strongly to perceived "woke" content.
