I find it problematic with your right wing politics and the grifters in your comment section i can't say what I want on your channel for the you tube algorithm censors and deletes my comments I invite and challenge you to a debate discourse on you tube through streamyard on my channel tyron leung. This behavior right here can't be tolerated its grifter behavior calling people "monkeys and accusing people of stealing" shows the lack of integrity and intellectual civil dialog I don't come on your channel or my ninja turtles channel with anti white racism disrespect so demand to be treated with respect and an apology.
Tatoruzu The racism of your followers is uncalled for

Why would you want to debate ME for something THEY said?
You should be mad at them, not me lol.
Now, as far as addressing your actual argument...
I gave you a very respectful and straightforward response:
The movie that people point to when trying to prove the turtles are "black coded" also prominently showed the turtles stealing. It's not racist to point that out. Besides, I'm not the one who decided to depict the "black-coded" turtles stealing from an innocent abuela's bodega.
There is no good reason to depict the turtles stealing — why can't some things just be left up to the imagination?
I will reiterate again here, and not as nicely as I did before.
The entire premise of the turtles is ridiculous and unexplainable — they were mutated into humanoids by a largely unexplainable ooze. They are mutated turtles. It is inherently ridiculous. And there are many unexplainable things in TMNT. The fact that they somehow manage to sustain themselves while staying hidden is one of the MANY unexplainable and ridiculous things about the TMNT that doesn't need to be exhaustively explained. If you go into autistic detail explaining how the turtles are able to make money like "well, first the turtles commit social security fraud, and then they use voice synthesizers and create elaborate disguises, and then..."
No.
That is boring and retarded.
The TMNT must remain unexplainable and ridiculous. Raphael can walk outside in a simple trench coat and nobody seems to recognize that he's not a human. That's hilarious. That's part of the essence of TMNT.
So going into autistic detail about how the turtles are able to sustain themselves, get money, procure food, etc. is all fucking retarded.

And to address your counterarguments, which were as follows:
the turtles are anthropomorphic assassins who are morally grey they fight their rat fathers vendetta battle against a guy they don’t even know for a sense of bushido in a cycle of revenge and they steal to survive and anyone can relate to the tmnt your argument is a grifting talking point.
and
is the turtles killing people left to the imagination .
Just like the ridiculousness of the turtles is an integral part of the essence of the TMNT, so is the story of revenge against the Foot Clan. My argument as to why the turtles steal is less about the morality of it, and more to do with the fact that it undermines the essence of the TMNT. Explaining the many unexplainable things about TMNT instead of nakedly embracing the deliberate weirdness of the TMNT is to misunderstand the essence of the TMNT.
That said, there is also a good moral argument. The turtles killing their enemies in self-defense is not the same as robbing an innocent abuela's bodega. In 1984, Kevin Eastman said they were "not superheroes, but they are good turtles." They are good turtles, and they have always been good turtles, even if they kill enemies in self-defense. But the turtles have never purposefully killed an innocent third party. So why would they steal from a small business owner? It's not even in character for the turtles.

Tatoruzu So going into autistic detail about how the turtles are able to sustain themselves, get money, procure food, etc. is all fucking retarded.
i dont think it even has to be. it could be as simple as "they go to a soup kitchen" or "theyre friends with a pizza man". hell donny having a hydroponic farm wouldnt be so crazy either. little worldbuilding detail are always nice.
anyways yeah people being racist like that is out of pocket. especially because it wasnt even funny it was just lame.
Tatoruzu then if we agree that they are mutated anthropomorphic turtles. Why does it matter if me or any other fan who see them as a ethnic person and not as white as you are use to bother you you dont like black people cause your sure do pull up 4chan eurocentric minstrel caricatures. Why are you bringing up anti black racist commentary? It's grifter nonsense pseudo scientific and babble at this point, all this over a comedic parody.
I've already in the past made a rebuttal on you and my ninja turtles channel talking point, i like both you guys and we have a common live for the tmnt franchise mirage material, but honesty as a bro to a bro you gotta chill on the racist shit. People cant stand your right wing borderline white supremacist rhetoric associating criminality with black people its in my nature to go after your type and the people that blindly follow your rhetoric, it Sound like youre recruiting c.h.u.d.s down the geeks and gamers rippa etc pipeline, we can talk about victimization Olympics fbi crime statistics stereotypes until we're blue in the face and what does that solve?
For Christ sake the ninja turtles are assassin's and are criminals technically and they have stolen in mirage lore they car jacked vehicles are intergalactic terrorists underage drinkers groomed to fight spilnters battles commited homicide on abunch of humans murdered somebodys baby who was a friend of april their friend casey jones was a juvenile delinquent turned into a chris Benoit esque vigilante.
Here's an example of how wrong you are in your statement cause you got in fiction the xman gambit who belongs to the "thieves guild and works with the assassins and had played a role in the genocide massacre of his own fellow mutants "" but every body looks passed his criminal upbringing cause hes as popular as this sigma male incel weeabo fantasy canknucle head wolverine nobody ever brings up white psychology or criminality or stereotypes or toxic behavior of white people with the media you consume ?
why does it bother you if the turtles are stealing and have been in multiple iterations where their squeaky clean heroes in a half shell where as idw mirage and image they arent kiddy Saturday morning cartoon happy go lucky characters. wtf does stealing go to do with black people ? ... you're making bad faith arguments and did an entire mr fantastic luffy d monkey elasta girl reach You brought up mutant mayhem and rise tmnt or mmpr tmnt cross over cause idw under Kevin's Eastman watch had black coded the tmnt and some fans see the turtles and april as black.
it doesn't matter if the staff was all white in the beginning, they weren't a bunch of anti woke keyboard warriors, white people can create non white characters or anthropomorphic characters that are coded to be an alagory to a certain demographic and they have in the past that people can relate to such as todd McFarlane spawn, mortal kombat Jax, marvel and DC comics characters such as John Stewart green lantern black manta black panther the falcon blade Luke cage misty knight bishop of the xmen animal farm lion King robert crumb fritz the cat or mauz etc. it's escapism and I already know most guys like you see media as a propaganda device to promote white supremacist doctrine such as the screen land article movies in Malaysia where it states and I'm paraphrasing that movies should be used to indoctrinate the people of the orient with white idolatry and must see white men as gods or things like birth of a nation the very first super hero heroes journey film that empowers white nationalist and you hate that the scales are tipping out of white supremacist favor.
Why does it matter if me or any other fan who see them as a ethnic person and not as white as you are use to bother you you dont like black people cause your sure do pull up 4chan eurocentric minstrel caricatures. Why are you bringing up anti black racist commentary?
Again, it's not "racist" to point out the fact that:
a) the Mutant Mayhem turtles steal
b) black influencers/creators claim the Mutant Mayhem turtles are black-coded
Me pointing this out isn't meant to be anti-black. Rather, it's meant to critique the fucking retarded "black-coded" argument around the TMNT.
It's the same way I point out the fucking stupidity of Sophie Campbell using a monkey character to make a point about bigotry.
If you're going to try to make a point about bigotry, or you're going to try to make the turtles black-coded, then don't fucking make the turtles steal or make one of the characters a goddam fucking monkey.
I'm tired of this retarded "black-coded" and "bigotry" and "racism" nonsense. I want to go back to a time when the TMNT was about mutated teenage turtle ninjas, not race.
but honesty as a bro to a bro you gotta chill on the racist shit
If people stopped trying to make the ninja turtles about race, then I would stop talking about race. It's really just as simple as that.
For Christ sake the ninja turtles are assassin's
Yes, don't have a problem with that.
I don't give a shit about the ninja turtles killing their enemies and acting in self-defense. Why would I?
That is completely different than stealing from a grandma's small business, which is something the Mirage turtles would never do. Here is how Kevin Eastman described the turtles in April 1984 before issue #1 was even published: "they're good turtles."
They are assassins, and they will kill in self-defense, but they're not going to do outright evil shit just for the sake of it like fucking steal from a fucking grandma's small business.
you got in fiction the xman gambit
I don't give a shit about the X-Men.
they arent kiddy Saturday morning cartoon happy go lucky characters
And in Mutant Mayhem, they're supposed to be. And yet, they're depicted stealing... And you're here defending it like a clown.
some fans see the turtles and april as black
And those fans are fucking retards and objectively wrong.
Tatoruzu The movie that people point to when trying to prove the turtles are "black coded" also prominently showed the turtles stealing.
And if they are black coded so what that's the beauty of it anybody can see themselves as the ninja turtles black / brown, white, yellow, red
( I've seen people like the nostalgia critic Doug code the turtles as black playing a sound clip of menace II society or boys n the hood over the 1990 tmnt third act, the nigga turtles you tube parody, and a Instagram reel of a white guy putting ice cube voice over dub on Raphael. Gambit of the xmen is a theif and killer catwoman is a theif and a killer batman is a theif and killer we saw him steal an apple and give it to a starving child and he had to learn how to become a criminal in order to fight crime and go undercover as a hoodlum desguise as matches malone wolverine is a criminal and a murderer but nobody ever brings up the degenerate shite White people do such as steal cultures kill people and shop lift and riot and you forget that I've shown pictures of white supremacist biker disguised as antifa busting out windows with a hammer we can talk about January 6th insurrection and riots during sports games *)
It's not racist to point that out. Besides, I'm not the one who decided to depict the "black-coded" turtles stealing from an innocent abuela's bodega. It's a cartoon and the turtles are homeless also the other half of the turtles are white such as Raphael and Leonardo who were also in the scene stealing supplies
There is no good reason to depict the turtles stealing — why can't some things just be left up to the imagination?
The turtles are morally grey in mirage comics lore
Their crimes have not been left to the imagination it's been depicted in several incarnations of media from panels to screen. Current idw they're fugitives of the law assulting law enforcement and fire fighters and Raphael was an inmate, The turtles grand theft auto a flying car, the turtles are vigilante murderers, they broke and entered the t.g.r.i. lab to secure a canister of ooze from the foot, and to view classified information about their mutation, Raphael assaulting and attempted murder on his brother Michaelangelo for beating him in a sparring match for being a sore looser, they stole a movie illegally watching a drive in movie aliens without paying for a ticket, or broke and entered the t.c.r.i lab to find their missing pops splinter and destroyed equipment in the process of looking for splinter, aided and abetted the fugitoid sal the robot/ professor honeycutt from the galactic federation, they stoawayed in a triceraton space craft, Michaelangelo is a war criminal who slept with an intergalactic princess, the turtles stole a pizza man's pizza, the turtles murdered abunch of people, trespassing, loitering, they out ran the police in a high speed chase running traffic lights and speeding, the turtles been to space and human prison, they commited intergalactic terrorisim holding the triceraton emperor hostage, and stole his battle cruiser, casey jones assaulted innocent people like his boss assulted raphael who was trying to keep him from murdering civilians , murder on a kid being a vigilante, he was a juvenile delinquent in his upbringing, april breaking and entering and vigilantism, splinter grooming child soliders to be killers to fight his personal battles allowing 13 year old surrogate sons to drink alcohol at 13 years old and being and abusive father.
Need i say more
Your argument is that because the for-adults Mirage turtles practiced self-defense and committed non-malicious crimes of practicality that it's okay for the kiddy Mutant Mayhem black-coded turtles to steal from a grandma's small business.
This argument is just blatantly absurd to me.
Nothing you say and no amount of cherry-picking "crimes" will make it any less absurd that the kiddy turtles in Mutant Mayhem stole from an innocent grandma's small business.
Tatoruzu here is Raphael stealing money and is a 13 year old underage drinking and donatello hijacking a flying car
are you serious? 😆 🤣 😂
Tyron_Leung You are completely missing the point. Mirage Raphael drinking a beer does not justify the theft from an innocent woman's small business in Mutant Mayhem.
Tatoruzu who cares if it's black coded it's in the hands of viacom and nickelodeon paramount kevin Eastman and Peter laird sold out their property to Hollywood and it's whatever Hollywood wants it to be you're still gonna buy the turtles at the end of the day regardless I don't like the fact they don't represent and milk the hell out the mirage stuff because people want the 87 toon over saturating the market over and over ain't no use in crying over spilt milk. Brodie and it shows you don't have integrity cause I'm talking to you like a normal person and you're cussing me with an uncivilized behavior have some decorum brother.
Tyron_Leung This is my website. I can literally say whatever the fuck I want on here. But I've been very patient with your retarded ass regardless.
Tatoruzu the turtles are the aggressors in the book and shredder in mirage is a morally grey person and not a mustache twirling villain like the 03 show and the incel crash out generational hater in the 2012 show and 1990 film , like the turtles are morally grey individuals we didn't see what led up to the turtles being cornered in an alley by the purple dragons splinter just sent them on a mission to test their ninja skills on random civilians they deemed were criminals a tough gang as Leonardo narrates we dont know what happened
between the tristen jones story line where this hunter Mason stuff was going and the issue 1 open panel and on top of that the turtles targeted orroku saki who had no quarrel with them and the turtles who were groomed by their rat surrogate father /sensei to avenge the death of his owners domestic dispute and yoshi broke the clans rules regardless of the domestic violence of them competing for tang shen yoshi murdered a fellow member of the clan and fled dishonoring himself
Tatoruzu how am I retarded when I have shown you proof of you being Wrong
Tatoruzu Jesus you're a dumb ass 😆
Tatoruzu wheres cherry picking crimes this is in the books and the cartoons and movies that's not cherry picking sir that's receipts sounds like projection my guy.
Y'all, I'ma be so serious when I say this, if y'all don't like someone's comments just report the comments. I'm not defending them, but still. It seems more logical than making it Tatoruzu's problem.
Tatoruzu that would also mean tmnt is an Asian stereotype to and they didn't kill in self defense in issue 1 they called out shredder to run the fade restarting the cycle of hate and vengance and tasked Raphael to find him and deliver a message killing three guards doing their job gaurding their property from trespasssers and splinter told them to go out and be vigilantes to graduate them into becoming trained killers on some street youths and splinter didn't show up to confront shredder himself making an excuse about himself being too old and dying living way past a rats expiration date and begging gallahad if that image big bang comics was Canon to fight his battles when we see him being active against mousers in issue 2 and fighting the foot and a clone shredder and aiding them on their first mission being possessed by gosei Hattori grandpa and then all of a sudden the turtles were reluctant to stop the foot from end fighting in the city at war storyline being the cause of the division and the city being terrorized by killing shredder and leaving a power vacuum?
SpiderBytez i took it to Tatoruzu cause he and my ninja turtles channel encourages these grifting right wing chuds I could fly off the handle and call him and his fans anti white racial slurs but im civilized and i like him and I wanted to have a friendly dialog to come to an understanding but he's calling me retarded and cursing me out cause I disagree with his subtle racist jabs and trying to convince him to change his negative behavior because it attracts the wrong people.
