But it's super important. It makes your hatred for Gay Iceman based in objective, quantitative, economic fact rather than emotion and homophobia.

Coming from the guys who regularly starts already existing threads I'm ok with it.

I don't hate gay iceman, as long as he keeps his frozen dick out of my hiney.

I don't care if he's gay. I just think its silly to make him gay after 60 years.

It comes off as a publicity stunt more than actual character development.

The fact that they could make him gay means he never had any character development to begin with.

YOU GONNA TAKE THAT LIDDY?

He was a surfer dude who shoots ice.... I don't really know much about his back story.

His back side on the other hand. Oh boy! Look out now. We keep things light around here.

LIDDY IS ALSO A JEW!

LIDDY IS ALSO A JEW!

WHAAAATT?!?! I was an avid reader of Liddy when he first started posting and I don't recall this character development being introduced until much later. Smells like a publicity stunt.

People were getting bored with the normal Liddy-fare, so he had to spice it up and include 'JEW' to really appeal to the diversity crowd around here.

I liked Fandango until he tried this trans-species transformation thing. He made everyone call him Piggy but we all know he's just a poster with a mutilated username.

Proof.

People just want the same Liddy with the same Liddy storylines. Forgive me for trying to expand into new territories with new characteristics to break up the monotony and become more 21st century.

I was ok when it was just little subtle hints, but I thought this was taking things too far:

I'm fine with new storylines (Romance! Intrigue! Danger!), just don't retcon a bunch of Jewiness into the character out of nowhere. When I show up, I want classic Liddy - disappearing for weeks at a time with no explanation, for example - but don't start shoehorning the fact that the disappearance was to go to a synagogue and a yarmulke fitting.

 

[LiddyRules]

Bill makes intercourse and it's praised as a bold new innovation in the character. Right @Creasy Bear ?

 

[Creasy Bear]

LIDDY IS ALSO A JEW!

Liddy was like "I'm not a practicing Jew." and then I shot back "There's no need to practice once you've perfected it."

Ha! Take that, Hymie!

Creasy is such a fan he even has Bill's old Tupperware and Spelling Bee material.

 

[Creasy Bear]

He's growing as a person, and revealing new dimensions.

He's getting fatter is my point.

Please make this your avi, Liddy.

 

[BIV]

So instead of, God forbid, coming up with a NEW Jew character, Wackbag just gets lazy and retcon's Liddy's backstory to make him more jewy.

This is bullshit.

 

[HandPanzer]

Can't wait until @BIV is killed off for good.
