Also, just to let you know (in case you didn't read about it), Trigger reviewed and approved my edit:  was a yandere, and everything that trope implies. Now the reason I'm not adding Category:LGBT Characters is because I don't like having arguments like the ones we just had&mdash;they're impossible to resolve. And the show has already demonstrated that they can change whatever they want whenever they want, and something true yesterday is not necessarily true tomorrow. So everything you opined may very well actually apply to the canon you're following, but it doesn't necessarily apply to the canon I'm following. If I can try to live with the existence of a different canon I don't follow, then can you? It would inherently mean that past canon "led to" more than one different canon, though the reality is that the continuity split simply didn't exist yet back then.

Though really, what the show did...was cruel. The show started out really becoming its own unique thing, and I liked it that way. But later it seemed like the show started trying to become more like the 1987 TV series, and pandering mainly to people who were nostalgic about that series. But in the process, existing characters and plots and the show's entire formula got retooled. Considering I'm not a fan of the 1987 TV series (I consider it one of the most obnoxious things ever to carry the TMNT name), what followed turned into more and more of a wall banger for me. It felt like an enormous betrayal and sellout. It may actually be the case that most of 2K12's adult fans are those people who mostly just cared about the 1987 TV series before. But in retooling the show more for their sake, it gradually alienated me and my friends. So, as you can see, I started accumulating a hell of a lot of fan baggage long before any of season 4 was even a thing.
