>over fifty years later and people STILL think she's gayBaby Boomers and Gen X have been a disaster for the human race.
>>147139957I read the Charles Schulz tribute anthology (same one where Stan Sakai gave Charlie Brown a Japanese gf) recently and I found it funny how I could blatantly tell which artists shipped Marcie and Peppermint Patty
>>147139957>and people STILL think she's gayI KNOW she will do gay stuff because she wants attention from anyone.
>>147139957It's millennials thinking so. I'm an X gen and never thought that about her nor anyone I grew up with.
>>147140421>Seth MacFarlane>Born 1973Hate to break it to you, anon, but yeah, it is GenX pulling this character assassination.
>>147140421isn't her attire pretty contemporary? it looks vaguely hippie. gender and gay is just clothes according to people now
>>147140421>It's millennials thinking so. I'm an X gen and never thought that about her nor anyone I grew up with.Fucking moron, OP is actually right, most of the jokes about them being lesbians were coming from Gen X and Boomers>Family Guy>2002 episode that had Peppermint Patty and Marcie as a couple in a cutaway>show creator is Gen X, episode writer is Gen X, writer room was probably Gen X at youngest>comic of Peppermint Patty and Marcie moving away from Mad Magazine issue from 2000>no idea about the writer's age but since he worked on the magazine since at least the 80s, he's got to be a Boomer>Twisted Toyfare Theatre>Peppermint Patty nervously tries to dodge the impression that she's supporting gay marriage>all the writers from Toyfare and Robot Chicken were like Gen XersAnd that was like the tip of the iceberg, the joke was already starting to get run into the ground by the late 90s
>>147141060So did no one read peanuts or are they doing the thing where they judge patty based on her apperance and friendship with Marcie? Which is odd since I don't think anyone ever called Linus and Charlie gay for being close friends.
>>147139957>>147140447Gen X grew up reading the dailies and watching the specials, they knew full well she was into Chuck. And they knew that she and Marcie both had a bit of disdain for each other. They made it a joke that PP and Marcie were lesbians, a joke that was funny precisely because it was a surprising take.It was the Millennials and later who didn't get the joke, and took it as canon.
>>147141060See >>147141123
Is there seriously a CIA brain chip in everyone where the idea of cartoon characters being gay is like the most funny or interesting thing ever in the last 20 years?
>>147141120Most people read a handful of Peanuts strips throughout their life and then watch the some of the specials.Patty gets mostly relegated to the background or her affection for Charlie is downplayed so people make assumptions.
>>147141609Most of what I see of Patty is her chewing Chuck out for being such a loser who can't deliver on being the boyfriend she thinks he is, then blaming him when she gets them both into trouble with the teacher or whomever.
Strong Christian undertones

>>147141123You really weren't paying attention to who was saying it or were never there
>>147144231>You really weren't paying attention to who was saying itYou mean the ones who were saying as a joke? Uh, I was one of them.Do you know how humor works? It's not an obvious observation that gets the laugh, it's a surprising one, a connection you hadn't made before.
>>147145009>uhhh it was a joke guys!!!Yeah a joke your generation kept running into the ground because you thought it was "funny"
>>147145081Hey, can we run the joke of Lucy having a big butt into the ground next?Or at least, Violet (canonically) having a big butt?
>>147139957She's gay. Always was. Shes the kind of chick that is denying herself of being gay because of "Christian times" scenario. She was in the closet the entire time. If this was written today she'd be gay 100% or at the very least bi.
>>147139957I actually didn't know Patty had crush on Charlie Brown until I saw the first cgi movie.
>>147139957think of it as a litmus test to see if someone is capable of interdependent thought. if they think shes gay they are a brainless NPC
>>147139957It's mostly because Peppermint Patty is unintentionally a stereotypical lesbian by today's standards by her personality and habits alone.
>>147139957Wasn't there an edit of her putting her hand on his crotch?
>>147145342
>>147145838Charlie x Marcie needs to be endgame.
>>147145865If nothing else, she's probably the safest option for him.
>>147139957It takes some kids awhile to figure things out, desu. A lot of girls (and boys) will have a “crush” on someone of the opposite sex when they’re younger only to come to terms with the fact they’re gay when they’re older (even if it was incredibly obvious to everyone else around them).
>>147139957Homos will latch on like leeches to anything if they think they can use to normalize their degeneracy.
>>147146848>“crush” on someone of the opposite sex when they’re younger only to come to terms with the fact they’re gay when they’re olderI hear the reverse constantly from pro-gays, but I suppose I should not be surprised they were being dishonest.>kids know from a young age whether they have strange feelings for the same sex or not anon!
>>147147320Truth
>>147146848This. I "dated" 4 separate woman in high school only to figure out after graduation why I never wanted to pork any of them. It's not entirely uncommon.Granted I was dropping snot to gay furshit as young as 11 so I should have known sooner, but religious repression and all that.
>>147145192She's a girl raised by a man. It had nothing to do with her sexuality.
>>147147799>Granted I was dropping snot to gay furshit as young as 11 so I should have known sooner
>>147147814Yes! She always wanted to be seen as super girly, always wanted to be "May Queen," always lusted after boys, always felt jealous or diminished by girls the boys liked, loved her look not because it was tomboyish but because it meant she was her daddy's little princess...PP was never remotely gay, sorry. I'd know.
>>147147377>Gays constantly say people grow out of being gayAnon are you listening to yourself??
>>147147914I was referring to gays saying gay kids always knew they were gay because of crushes/attraction with the same sex.
