I mean, lots of viewers loathed Venus, and there's just something farcical enough about her character that gives her appearance camp value long after the fact. Even the way Raph painted her likeness on the Party Wagon was evocative of cheesy paintings of skimpy women on the sides of World War II-era airplanes. It would have fit well with the catty sense of humor he flaunted in season 1. If only he had remotely the same sense of humor in season 3. :( So another camp reference is Mikey wondering if he got splashed by the mutagen filled toilet he feared that he would turn into a girl.
