Does anyone know the exact year and day Dwayne McDuffie said Richie was gay ?

The moment a show actually portrays a gay/les couple like they'd done for straight couples forever and ever, oh its the end of the world! Armafrickinggeddon
I will forever give credit to CN for running an anime with an uncensored explicitly lesbian main lead couple in fricking 2003, but I will forever be convinced they only got away with it because the suits watched it on fast forward with the sound off and the MC's a reverse trap.
That shit must have been the Operation Bodyguard of getting shit past the censors.
No. I didn't. I never mean Sailor Moon. Why the frick do people always fricking think I meant Sailor Moon when I bring this shit up? I said fricking uncensored and lead. Uranus and Neptune weren't the fricking lead in Sailor Moon S and as you rightly pointed out they were censored to cousins.
Pic related is McDuffie talking about what you're asking OP.
In addition to what he says here, there was an episode with a bang baby who read minds and when they read Richie's thoughts, all his thoughts were about Virgil.
And not 100% sure if my memory is right but IIRC in the Richie's racist dad episode, Virgil seems to imply Richie needs to talk to him about something else (him being gay) but Richie says something like his dad can only handle one thing at a time.
This is why I always though Neil Patrick Harris' character in How I Met your Mother was meant to be an obvious gay guy, his entire schtick was "I LOVE SEX IN veganaS"

>healthy and normal hetrosexuality is equal to uselles and degenerate homosexualry!
Kids can understand normal relationship without getting too deep into sex because they know in general man and woman create a child, degenerate gays don't.
Have y'all ever done a deep dive into Static Shock fanfics ? Richie is paired with alot of girls despite being gay. Mainly on FanFiction.net . Its weird cause alot of those fics where written when it was confirmed he was gay.
A character doesn't have a canon sexuality if it isn't referenced, m8. Ex post facto creator bullshit isn't representation. It's shilling for merch sales. Representation is shilling for merch sales too, but at least you get the representation out of it.

You mean Sailor Moon S? The dub actually said they were cousins.

I meant .hack.
What the frick show are you talking about then
>I meant .hack
MC's literally a lesbian.
It should be common knowledge by now that Richie is gay.
He never showed any signs of gayness in the show wtf
I don't remember the exact date, but IIRC technically he only said Comics-Richie was gay. He didn't say anything about Cartoon-Richie.
see
After the show was over when it wouldn't matter like a b***h.
>After
WRONG
Explicitly different character bro.
It's Static white friend with blonde hair, same shit.
Richie and Rick aren't the same character. Richie is based off Rick and Frieda. He's not a alternate version of Rick.
I think it was 2005 but I could be wrong.
It looks like it was 2009 when he said it .

ngl I thought he came off as genuine
i would never have guessed that, i just thought vergil was annoyed
I'm excited to see him be gay in the new comics.
Ruined. He looks like anime character
No. He looks like a webtoon character. Totally different.
Have y'all ever done a deep dive into Static Shock fanfics ? Richie is paired with alot of girls despite being gay. Mainly on FanFiction.net . Its weird cause alot of those fics where written when it was confirmed he was gay.
That's because ff.net is the home of underage self-inserts. Later they bought a second property on Wattpad.
Wasn't he gay in the comics? He looked really homosexual then, so it wasn't much of a surprise.
He's based off a character from the comics who is gay, Rick Stone.
?
Dude literally flirted and hit on girls like Diasy and Freida didn't he?
No, he never flirted with girls in the show but girls did seem to him.
Does anyone think they're going to have Richie get with Darius ?
Are they making another one or is this from the shitty one where they turned the Big Bang into a BLM rally?
>Character is gay
>Is never referenced in the show at all.
This is how diversity should be. If a character is gay then so be it. Doesn't mean they need to act like it on the show to get the point across.
A character doesn't have a canon sexuality if it isn't referenced, m8. Ex post facto creator bullshit isn't representation. It's shilling for merch sales. Representation is shilling for merch sales too, but at least you get the representation out of it.
Oh sure, as it having a creator saying it when asked during an interview wouldn't cause a shitstorm anyway.
Wasn't he gay in the comics
I’m surprised not any of the girls in Static ended up a lesbian: Daisy, Frieda, Dusk, Madison, Sharon.
You would think that at least one would be queer.

It was long enough after the show was done that it didn't matter.
Funny enough, him doing that preceded JK Rowling saying Dumbledore was gay so he totally beat her to the punch by years.
Why did they write Daisy to be Static's love interest when it's always been Frieda?
Wasn’t this the show where some kid pulled a gun on his bully and had to be talked down from shooting him by his friends?
Yeah but he still pulled the trigger and shot the gay guy we're talking about in the OP
