so, why has king of the hill never landed a confirmation that bobby was autistic or gay or both?
It feels like they were going in that direction for ages. That they were setting up something with a manly man like Hank and his even more manly man mano man dad having to accept a gay son.
Then nothing. So many seasons of nothing.
First, every unconventional dude isn't fricking gay, and the only people who push that are fricking groomers. Second, the show doesn't need to meet your dumbruck ideas of representation, or whatever the frick you need just because. Finally, they HAD an ADHD episode. Leave us and go watch it now.

imagine being this much of a conservative zoomer that you assume that bobby was 2023 positive gay representation, or thats where I was going with it.
the joke was literally going to be that bobby was a weird little homosexual. it would have been neutral representation at best.
Fpbp ops replies aren’t worth reading hope he kills himself
>groomers
so meat-heads aren't a thing anymore?
First post best post
t. homosexual that embarrased his dad
Is pretty confirmed, bobby grows into a troony, he is influenceable enough to go full troony in college
false flag poster
No homosexual, Bobby is doomed:
Attention prostitute
Influenceable
Trend seeker
Horrible female influence in his life
Simp father
Artsy without talent
Bobby Hill is doomed to go troony

This. Why does every cartoon need a character to represent every fricking person on the planet?
>Crazy drunk uncle? Better put him in my cartoon!
>Sex fiend coworker? Better put him in my cartoon!
>LGBTQA they them zer? Better put him in!
Because the show creator/writer's take inspiration from the silly shit in their own lives to add to their show.
How many times have we told a crazy story and changed named, and then over time and retellings we forget or embellish shit to where some guy spilling his coffee on the boss turns into a guy spraying liquid shit all over the office workers while the boss has a seizure?
It's a cartoon, it's all embellishment.
Yeah, I much prefer shows with no characters.
>It's either a walking emotional wreckage horde of characters or there is zero characters to be seen!
Holy extremes Batman!

Take a long walk off a short cliff OP, you fricking homosexual.
>autistic
Likely
>or gay
Bobby has pulled more girls than 95% of Cinemaphile posters and you homosexuals still have the nerve to assume he's gay?
Because he is neither. He's just an easily impressionable kid, like most kids are
>It feels like they were going in that direction for ages. That they were setting up something with a manly man like Hank and his even more manly man mano man dad having to accept a gay son.
You're moronic - Bobby is mud, a softboy, a typical late millennial weakling who is easily impressionable. This is explicitly stated in the military school episode.
You're projecting your own homosexuality, homosexual.
You just lack basic media literacy.
Bobby was a complete ladies man and only showed interest in women, and for a shitload of women throughout the series. He was weird bu so incredibly confident in his weirdness that girls didn't even care, that was the fricking point of his character. I refuse to believe that you actually watched KotH if you thought they were angling to make Bobby gay in any capacity.
How many of those girls did he like romantically and how many of them were kind of one sided?
>Bobby: I don't think those girls are playing a trick on me. I mean, they were giggling a lot, but that's because I'm funny, right?
>Bill: Wait. Stop right there. You could drive yourself crazy trying to figure out all the reasons women are laughing at you.
I always saw Bobby as that tubby kid that was funny in school so some girls liked him. He's the kind of guy that, when he grows up, he'll actually have good relationships with women because even if he doesn't have the looks, he has a good personality and makes them laugh.
Yes Bobby is weird, but he OWNS his weirdness. He's not hopelessly autistic like some people, he's just a bit odd.
>why has king of the hill never landed a confirmation that bobby was autistic or gay or both?
Because it turns out that you can have a personality that isn't centered around your (mental) disabilities.
anon. Truck. Now!
>tfw have autism
>tfw cursed with the ability to self-reflect
>tfw you know perfectly well when and how you fricked up in a social situation
>tfw only know how to prevent it from happening after it has happened at least once
>tfw i have no face
I'm pretty similar except I can at least learn from *other* people's failures, but often I don't like a lot of media that normal people enjoy (especially my generation of late millennials) or share their same values, interests and hobbies, so I have difficulty sustaining conversations with new people one-on-one for more than 10 minutes at best, especially women. I can hang out and be friends with women just fine and have some girl friends, but I don't have any capacity to take it to that next step, even when the lady in question is very obviously into me (often they'll be dating another guy too so I'd be a homewrecker if I stepped in, I don't know why chicks with guys always wind up into me it fricking sucks). I can flirt just fine and pick up on when I've had passes made at me, but I'm a coward about taking it any further because I don't know how, and had awful experiences back when I was a teen and didn't understand people remotely as well as I do now.
I've never been in a relationship as a result and I'm still a virgin. I'm just a coward who's deathly afraid of embarrassing myself and outing myself as an autistic creep, it took most of my life to figure out how to act normal enough for normies to like me, yes I still come across as eccentric and at times intense, but I always say that's because I'm a Scorpio, which absolutely kills it with the ladies actually. I've been told many times now that I'm "charming, fun, mysterious and intense" by women that I would consider way out of my league considering my income and appearance, but I guess my autism makes me appear that way because I promise you I only act that way lbecause I'm terrified of saying or doing something embarrassing.
I don't even remember how to be myself anymore, I remember I used to be a lot more outspoken, humorous and jovial as a kid before I learned the hard way that I was very weird, now I don't remember how to be that person anymore. Sorry for the blog post, it struck a nerve.
Dude, id just date and frick those taken girls that flirt with you. You sound young like you're in your teens or 20s. A lot of girls at that age are shitty upgraders. You might never get experience at that age without helping them upgrade.
Date them, frick them, then break up after 3 months. Tell them you can't trust them because they went after you while still with that other guy.
You get some experience and maybe she will reflect on her behavior
I wish I was in my late teens or early 20's still, it'd be a lot less embarrassing to take the plunge, I'm 27. I know it's only going to get harder as I get older but my fear is holding me back.
My sex drive is low, and I'm not confident I'd be good in bed either. It takes a lot of effort for me to get myself off so I guess I have endurance, but I also have a small dick (~4 inches at it's absolute best) and I'm paranoid about being made fun of. It happened to an acquaintance back in college, I heard through one of my girl friends that when she fricked him he had a small dick and didn't last long, and this big group of girls she was hanging out with were all making fun of him. When I said that wasn't something he could control and that'd be like making fun of someone for having tiny breasts (hers are which is why I mentioned it), she laughed and said he deserves it because "he's a prick anyways" and everyone there agreed about that (to be fair he was).
I don't want to frick some cheater, I want to make love to a woman I have an emotional connection with, but I'm having extreme difficulty finding someone in my age range that wants anything serious (23-32). Dating an 18-21 year old at my age would be creepy, desperate and pathetic, and women older than 32 already have expectations about what you're bringing to the table, which wouldn't be much in my case since I'm a weird virgin pauper with no dating experience. At that age they want a "real man" not a weird manchild.
I've resigned at this point to dreams and supporting relationships around me as best I can. If I won't ever experience love like that in my life then at least I can support those around me who have found something. Most of my friends are single too, though, so I'm not the only one.
Me almost to the tee, love hiking, and I have a large friend group too at least. I also thought about "manifesting" a tulpa or other /x/ shit but I'm too embarrassed to give myself mental illness.
>small dick (~4 inches at it's absolute best)
You should post on
>Worst sexual fear is being exposed as a small dick virgin and made fun of for small dick, derive no pleasure whatsoever from the thought in fact quite the opposite
>"you should post a picture of your tiny dick here"
In what way would that benefit me? I'm not seeking male attention at all, I don't find masculinity or penises attractive at all.
Bobby's mindset is thus: who needs a big dick when you can rock big dick energy?
Nah I get that, it's not the same when you have decades of shit to shake off. I know I'm holding myself back I just gotta do shadow work or some shit, I've tried therapy but honestly they were just "validating my feelings" and not offering any solutions or useful perspectives, and just wanted to prescribe me medicine.
Yeah and every small-dicked dude who isn't gay is trying to get their attention. I'm good, I don't need male attention. Don't get me wrong, if I met a lady who was into small dicks that'd get me excited, but I want much more than sex.
Honestly? I couldn't tell you, I kinda lucked out on my high school friends (I went to a weird magnet program high school with "gifted" and smart kids, I was one of the "gifted" ones ha), and by the time I graduated I had developed enough people skills that I could make friends in college. All you can do is look for meetups and social functions and trial-and-error your way through the painfully awkward first conversations you'll have until you develop the skill set enough
Come on, show us that cute little baby peepee.
Make it very much worth my while creep or go away
Do you jerk off with just your thumb and pointer?
Only into women sorry bud, you're not hurting my feelings or turning me on either
Mmm, I can just imagine effortlessly "deepthroating" your snack size Vienna sausage.
Having to actually go out is where I'm going to fail every time one this, haha... Thanks for the insight though, hopefully you'll find a non-sloot waifu someday, godspeed
God speed to you too, anon. We'll find what we're looking for as long as we don't completely give up. I'm still gonna keep trying to get over myself and put myself out there, I hope you do the same. No one deserves to be alone or have little to no friends, everyone deserves love and camaraderie.
There are women on there sometimes too.
With tiny dicks?
That like tiny dicks.
How are you meeting people so far? I want to meet someone like you, but also I don't go outside and I don't know how to talk to people
t. gay pervert
Huh, this is the first time I've met someone exactly like me.
I totally feel you, anon. Especially the "deathly afraid of embarrassing myself and outing myself as an autistic creep" part. I cannot understate how much I hate that feeling.
I've personally given up on relationships altogether. The stress from all that risk and effort just isn't worth it. I've considered creating a tulpa, but I think I'll give it a few more years before I give myself self-induced schizophrenia.
I had a single "real" girlfriend (the relationship sucked, although I did learn a lot from it) and I'm still wondering how that happened.
I really hope you have at least a few good friends, because I don't know how I'd cope without the few I have.
I'd like more friends, but I have absolutely no idea how/where to meet people.
I tried asking people I known and their responses have been mainly "I have no idea either", "maybe a bar? do people still go to bars these days?" or "get a hobby".
I've begun indoor climbing and bouldering (which I highly recommend, it's a lot of fun) with a friend for quite a few months now, but I still don't get how you're supposed to approach people without being seen as a weirdo.
>I don't even remember how to be myself anymore
Yeah, that mask really gets stuck once you wear it long enough.
>tfw only know how to prevent it from happening after it has happened at least once
that's how everyone learns moronkun. You either learn from it happening to you or learn from watching it happen to someone else
Thank you for your useless input, failed-normalgay-kun.
It might shock you, but people are capable of predicting the best way to react to unknown situations.
I've never encountered the situation, but if someone falls from a twelve story high building, trying to catch the dumbfrick will get you killed.
But ask me what it means when you enter a bus, try to pay for a ticket, can't find your wallet and the bus driver just grunts at you (does he want me to get off? does he mean that I can enter without paying? answer: it was the latter) I wouldn't fricking know.
He is confirmed not right
>autistic
Barring a couple episodes where he's wrapped up in his own feelings and the HD seasons where everyone is a flanderized dipshit, Bobby is one of the most consistently empathetic characters in the show
>gay
Bobby is exclusively attracted to girls throughout the series. If anything, all his queer behavior is a testament to how secure in his masculinity he is
>autistic
>Barring a couple episodes where he's wrapped up in his own feelings and the HD seasons where everyone is a flanderized dipshit, Bobby is one of the most consistently empathetic characters in the show
Uh, anon, only some autistic people don't have empathy. Some are hyper empathetic and can have empathy for rocks and trees
>>gay
>Bobby is exclusively attracted to girls throughout the series. If anything, all his queer behavior is a testament to how secure in his masculinity he is
Is he attracted to them romantically or as friends? And didn't he have trouble understanding kissing and shit?
He definitely kisses Connie before dating her for several seasons. There's man episode where the big climactic image is Bobby using a ladder to kiss her over the fence. Hank catches on to what Bobby needs the ladder for and he chuckles and does an affected "phew!" that Bobby is straight. Like the OP isn't totally incorrect to posit that Bobby has some queer tendencies, but he's ultimately heterosexual
Because it assumed the audience weren't Dale Gribbles without having everything spelled out for them.
well bobby dated a lot of girls. Secondly bobby had a few eps about being slow and they all were just excuses for him to be lazy or thrown to the way side.
>autistic
Fricker has like 8 or 9 episodes that hinge entirely on his ability to manipulate other people's emotions. Hell, he blackmailed Kahn over the water meter bribe to secretly water his dad's lawn, which is at least three levels of correctly interpreting and predicting other people's points of view.
You never liked to play pretend and wear costumes when you were 12?
What are you a gay or something?
Wait for the new series.
Bobby is more of a goofball who likes to wear costumes and perform. If he could git gud if Hank would let him do theater/drama. But that's the joke. He's unconventional like >138628934 said, which people like Hank don't approve. Though for some reason Cotton doesn't give much of a frick.
>Though for some reason Cotton doesn't give much of a frick.
He likes that Bobby is more free and fun despite how bland his parents are while Hank is a no fun allowed, stick in the mud.
Which is ironic because Cotton pretty much made Hank that way
Bobby has what, 3 girlfriends and 2 non-girlfriend crushes AND a waifu in Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug (who was a 21 year old woman at the time).
The guy was pretty clearly straight, just not concerned with trappings of "looking" straight because he wasn't a closeted homosexual.
>Kerri Strug
You frickin serious?
Yes, that was his celebrity crush in the secret admirer episode.
>Bobby acting up in school as usual
>New guidance counselor recommends testing him for autism
>Hank speech
>Dammit when we were kids you could be odd or eccentric or a class clown without everyone trying to put you in some category. All this will do is give him a bad excuse for a behavior instead of making him take responsibility for his own actions and grow up
>Guidance counselor tests Bobby anyway and declares he has Asperger's
>Half the boys in his class now have Asperger's
>They totally lean into it and use it as an excuse for shitty behavior. They can't be punished because they're diagnosed with a disability
>This backfires when the school wants to put the aspy kids in their own class with special assistants and Bobby realizes there will be no girls in his class anymore
>The kids team up to show they can control themselves and the counselor was wrong
>Hank and Bobby reflect on the lesson of personal responsibility
Because he was neither. He had multiple girlfriends, multiple talents, and friends. He was just chubby and a bit goofy.
Bobby isn't gay. He definitely liked Connie. He's basically guaranteed to be some level of bisexual in the reboot though.
You know the guy who came up with that chart molested infants and toddlers, right?
You know going on about grooming and molesting makes you come off as a crossposting weirdo that let's people live rent free in their heads.
Let California burn and sink, enjoy life damn it.
I'm bringing that up for your own sake, you shouldn't be earnestly posting things that come from an outspoken pedophile crackpot that wrote a book describing the way he jerk offd children to see if they could organize
He came up with theories to try and normalize his own sexual degeneracy
I'd ask for source but I'm assuming I'll either get.
A. Nothing but more rambling
B. Some edited text I'm supposed to take for face value and not look further into it
C. A quote taken out of context
D. One of those charts about how israelites are behind everything.
I know the playbook. Frick off.
ah yes I forgot also
E. No response.
Which is clearly what I got.
...you responded to that anon by explicitly stating that you're not asking for source (while insulting that anon and some imaginary group).
He responded to that by not providing a source, and you're upset about that???
I told you he wrote a book, literally read his book
Sometimes terrible people are right about things
Yeah, like Hitler!
Let's see your sources you phone posting moron
Blah blah, Freud sucks too, no one cares.
>He definitely liked Connie.
Did he? Didn't he like, not know to kiss or hug girls? Disnt Connie cheat on Bobby with rusty's son because he did know how to kiss?
For literally that one episode because Bobby was being weird and Joseph had hit a growth spurt. For a sizable chunk of the series Connie and Bobby are steady
>For a sizable chunk of the series Connie and Bobby are steady
And do pretty much nothing
Then she starts doing stuff as soon as she starts cheeting
Bobby is a PIMP.
He's slick with the ladies (as he had both had a girlfriend and also "trained up" in the spin the bottle episode)
Also he's indeed a quirky lil motherfricker but he's neither gay nor autistic.
He is the gay kid girls date as a trail run, he is inoffensive, it all start making sense as he grows. He isnt attracted to women, he is attracted to the idea of being in a relationship, i dont think bobby ever lust any women in the entire show.
>i dont think bobby ever lust any women in the entire show.
Doesn't Connie cheat on him because he never makes a move on her?
Holy shit have you ever even seen the show?
The famous "THAT'S NOT MY PURSE" episode outright starts with Bobby spying on Connie's slumber party in hopes of seeing boobs.
You are so full of shit, this is bobby "lust", he is eating and drinking cola watching the girls fight and gets slightly annoyed when khan interrupted the party, the one wanting to see breasts was Joseph with the night googles, at no point bobby shows anything resembling hornyness for women
>at no point bobby shows anything resembling hornyness for women
In one of the Valentines episode he fantasizes about Kerri Strug. Twice.
I mean it was Kerri Strug in the 90s.
Yeah, what a horndog, not homosexual at all
>gay
no u
>autistic
He's weird but he has great social-emotional understanding.
>or gay
Man has not only gotten pussy several times but is potrayed several times as being very charismatic with ladies.
This thread feels like it's made by someone who only knows the show through a single shitty Youtube compilation titled something lame like "7 minutes of Bobby ain't being right".
Would Bobby Hill being gay change the show's entire point of dry sitcom?
I mean not that Bobby being gay is the issue, it's that it doesn't ADD to it other than "Bobby's less masculine" I guess.
Saying that boy ain't right because he bakes a cake is funny, it's just showing hank being up tight about nothing
Saying that boy ain't right and he's actually gay is bigoted
Yeah I don't think it's in Hank's character to just be like "I hate my gay son". He's probably carefully try to understand it, and eventually be supportive, if somewhat personally not entirely happy of the outcome as he wanted grandkids.
But at the end of the day, I don't think Hank would have it in him to just outright shove Bobby into a closet or kick him out the house or something extreme like that.
It would still be out of character to accept a gay son.
Hank wouldn't even hug his mom in public, fell out of a parked car trying to get away from Redcorn when he was crying, and tried his best to dodge Lucky when he was looking for someone to hug.
>it would be out of character for a show about a stodgy tradionalost guy who invariably learns to accept new things to accept his gay son
Sounds like you haven't really watched the show
I'd argue that it actually makes thing worse, not because of the homosexuality itself but rather it goes against the whole point of the show.
A major if not general thesis of the show is a tradionalist conservative like Hank trying to connect eith his son who is part of a new generation he doesn't fully understand and try to see eye to eye with one another.
A part of this is Hank's insecurities of typical gender roles and him looking down on femine or week hobbies when viewed at face value, but grow an understanding of them as he gains a bit more understanding. We see this with gardening, the flowering competition, the propane based comedy show, home ec and so on. Making Bobby gay because "oh, well he kinda acts fruity" ruins the whole point about not judging things at face value.
So Bobby is to Bush/Trump (I guess) to Hank's Regan?
I don't entierly know what you mean but Hank would 100% love Reagan sure.
Bobby would more likley end up a No Party Preference Moderate or Democrat to Hank's acceptance but disappointment.
I'm thinking political generations. The people who liked Regan and older Cons aren't happy with Trump/Desantis and their antics (privately at least).
Don't know about that. My boomer parents that love Reagen are completely on the "Trump did nothing wrong, it's all a psyop" camp.
I guess I'm stretching. It's easier to just say it's boomer/millennial troubles.
Your parents probably never stood for anything and play politics like sports. They're the type of person who will support a wife beater or a dog/wiener fighter if the guy is on their sports team.
Tell your parents they're part of what is destroying the country. Whole country is going to shit because of boomers treating politics like the sports ball
>Tell your parents they're part of what is destroying the country.
Why would you want that anon to disown himself?
>Tell your parents they're part of what is destroying the country. Whole country is going to shit because of boomers treating politics like the sports ball
Yeah that's not going to help and just make it worse. You can lead the horse but you can't make it drink.
Best thing to do is just do better for the country on your own. That or just keep it to yourself while we're still in politically turbulent times.
>Your parents probably never stood for anything and play politics like sports. They're the type of person who will support a wife beater or a dog/wiener fighter if the guy is on their sports team.
Yeah.
>Tell your parents they're part of what is destroying the country.
They already know what I think.
Eh, my family are jerks and Thanksgiving is hell but they don't go that far. They still love me and I still love them deep inside.
But to give you a good idea of what they're like, when I was a teenager my dad sat me down once and told me.
"I don't care if you end up gay or marrying a black chick but I swear to Christ you better not be a fricking Democrat or go to California".
I failed him in the former but one of the few things holding us together is we both hate California with a passion.
Hank might hold his nose and vote for Trump but he wouldn't be happy about it and he'd NEVER brag about voting for a New Yorker.
Hank seems like the kind of person that would take other people's words for it on Trump until it effected him personally.
Knowing Hank it would be something like being sold terrible Trump steaks.
Id pay to see hank come to the realization that Trump wasn't what he thought as he attempts to eat a trump steak
Shit would look like a nam flashback as his mind puts the peices together
Another funny thing would be thank defending how trump eats pizza. "Sometimes a slice is too much and you have to eat it with a knife and fork.notherwiae you risk dropping toppings on the table and your shirt. Bobby, your mom works too hard for us to be staining her good table cloth "
>Chaperoning. Nice job, Ronald Reagan.
>McB: Hey, don't call me that.
>Hank: Yeah, don't call him that.
You're projecting onto fictional characters
What are you, stupid? John Redcorn was the gay one.
He's not gay. He's the clingy, fall in love easy, get taken advantage of type.
cause it's funnier? The whole joke is that hank doesn't know what to do with bobby, if bobby were just autistic or gay then hank would know how to respond. The joke is about the anxiety all fathers have between expectation for their kids and desire for their kids self-determination.
Hank and Peggy are both obviously autistic to at least some degree.
Bobby is actually a chad like Cotton, but he's stuck with his 'tizmo parents.
They both have canonical reasons for the way they are, Hank grew up with cotton while Peggy grew up alone at a farm
You are now aware that a good chunk of anons have legit autism
You are aware that some of those excruciating arguments you had here you had with people with autism who can't grasp or understand what you are saying because they don't make logical connections the same way you do
Something like this and so that they don't get it and they aren't going to get it because to them it's this and then that, they don't quite grasp cause and consequence
Bobby ain't gay, he just knows how to get b***hes
If anyone’s autistic, it’s Hank
>being fat, unconventional, and comedic means your mentally ill
I can't tell if your underage or brain-fried by modern day goyslop.
It wasn't fashionable to be gay or autistic by the time the show ended
I think Hank said it best
