Let's hope these particular youngsters learned their lesson. Funny things happen to Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg between saving the world and being regular teens, living together without adult supervision.
"It's just upsetting that kids are familiar with the word rape at such an early age, whether they understand it or not." Well, "kids are known for pushing the offensiveness envelope," says Anna North at Jezebel. This follow-up to the popular 'Teen Titans' series takes a more comedic look at the superheroes, showing what life is like for the teens when their capes come off. But in a way, that's what make this story so "unsettling." The kids probably picked it up from television or the internet, and assumed that "humping and sex is weird and silly" - as children tend to do. "Likely the children at this school didn't understand what rape means," says Amy Graff at SF Gate. How did kids even come up with this game? The Teen Titans have gone through numerous changes over the decades, from lineups to locations, but since his introduction, Beast Boy has been one of the team's few constants. Sprung says he sent the letter "to quell rumors and speculation," and thinks his staff has done an "excellent job" of "extinguishing the game." No kids have been spotted playing rape tag since he sent his letter. Beast Boy is a high profile superhero in the world of DC comics, and it's time for him to shift into his true queer form. Sprung says 15 to 20 parents have contacted him, "some of whom were upset about having to discuss the sensitive topic with their children," says Wood. With Beast Boy being played by Asian actor Ryan Potter, him being bisexual would be welcome in more ways than one.They were not pleased. The other DC shows all have at least one LGBT character, but they're all overwhelmingly white. His insecurities and desire to be loved are perfect for a character arc that follows him coming to terms with his sexuality. Gar is a great vehicle for that melodrama. With Greg Berlanti involved in the creation of the series, it's safe to say that emotional melodrama will be a big part of the show's proceedings. If the show's version of our green-skinned hero will be anything like the comics, he'll be insecure thanks to his appearance or his past. With Beast Boy as a main character in the upcoming Titans series, this is as good a time as any to officially make him bisexual.
And the other Titans went out of their way to recreate their relationship, like something out of a romcom, because they ship those two so much. Not only does the episode involve a tiny creature that serves as a personification of their relationship, it had direct references to Top Gun (a film that is unashamedly queer) where they played volleyball with their shirts off and slapped each other's butts. More recently, there was an episode that devoted itself to celebrating their friendship as though it was an anniversary or birthday. "You think you're alone, Raven," he declares, "but you're not." His occasional dips into harmful masculinity aside, such as when chemicals drastically altered his personality into more of an alpha male type, he's a sensitive soul with love for everyone in his heart. Stars: Caitlynne Medrek, Carol-Anne Day, Jordan Schartner, Wendy Morrison. You can see this most famously in the Teen Titans cartoon - his constant emotional appeals to Terra's humanity inspire her to turn on Slade, and Raven only really begins to open up emotionally because of him. A group a school girls discover that they have been given the ability to materialize weapons and control robotic beasts called Children to stop an evil organization from their plans of domination. With both women, he's wound up playing the role that women normally do in these stories: He's the one who has to appeal to their humanity while they're the ticking time bombs.
Both Terra and Raven are proof of this, as they're the constant romantic interests each iteration of his character. Beast Boy is an incredibly romantic person at heart, someone who loves to love and yearns to be loved. You or your child will love to fill the pages of this coloring book with bright colors.
It may seem incredibly random to say, but when you step back and think about Beast Boy across the various forms of media he's been in, it makes sense.
