411: He-Man made me Gay

Everyone is trying to come up with the evidence of what makes a person homosexual. Scientists are struggling to find the gay gene while religious conservatives are going the depraved and demented route.

However, after reading this post over at Slate magazine, operatorLA has finally realized why he is a queer. It's all He-Man's fault.

operatorLA was addicted to this cartoon as a child. He absolutely adored it! Not only did he watch the show religiously but he also had to have the whole action figure line. He had it all, including Castle Greyskull.

Then come these shocking revelations from Slate's Sam Anderson of the subtextual reality of the show's content:

It's almost too easy: Prince Adam, He-Man's alter ego, is a ripped Nordic pageboy with blinding teeth and sharply waxed eyebrows who spends lazy afternoons pampering his timid pet cat; he wears lavender stretch pants, furry purple Ugg boots, and a sleeveless pink blouse that clings like saran wrap to his pecs. To become He-Man, Adam harnesses what he calls "fabulous secret powers": His clothes fall off, his voice drops a full octave, his skin turns from vanilla to nut brown, his giant sword starts gushing energy, and he adopts a name so absurdly masculine it's redundant

Wow, now operatorLA truly understands where his own personal theory of "secret fabulous gay powers" extends from.

Maybe the media figured it out and that is why He-man was pulled after only to seasons. And to move America's young boys' fascination with the strapping male figure to something a bit more heterosexual, they replaced He-Man with She-Ra. Because watching a bitch with a sword, dominate men, save the world and all doing so while looking fierce surely wouldn't make anyone gay!
