To be honest, I never assume cartoon characters are gay, as they're not even real. As John quoted one of his fans saying, "I love how Ren and Stimpy would fight, but they'd always end up in the sack together!" Indeed, even though there were never any signs of homosexuality in the earlier cartoons with the exception of them sleeping in the same bed, but it seems many fans thought they were. Although in the early cartoons, they never showed signs of being anything more than friends, but it seems there were some that thought they were anyway. Then there's the alleged rumors of Ren & Stimpy's sexuality, as some fans (especially gay right activists) assumed the characters were gay due to their close friendship. Sure, it would be disturbing if it was real life but in cartoons/movies, not so much. I just don't often associate reality with cartoons and/or movies. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a violent person or anything. Yeah, it's that violent, but it's pretty funny if you're into the whole "psycho drama", John invented back in the day like I am. Ranging from having a toad's guts spilled everywhere to a dog eating a man's hand off. Even though this episode was funny, it was also contains some of the most graphic images you'll ever see in any cartoon. I know from reading this, it doesn't sound too controversial, but you'd be wrong if you thought that. As John Kricfalusi goes on to say some fans couldn't get enough of the "psycho drama" he invented with the classic episode, "Space Madness." Therefore, John creates an episode not only showing Ren's true horrific nature, but he also goes over his entire past. Then there's the episode, "Ren Seeks Help", requested by one fan who wanted to know the origins of why Ren is so freaking crazy. Yeah, I can see why Nickelodeon wouldn't want this episode, but it's great for adults and can be very funny as it shows off Ren's exploits in his attempt to chase girls. #REN AND STIMPY THE LOST EPISODES FIRE DOGS 2 FULL#loved it, and they didn't bother telling John to have the naughty parts covered, as this episode shows full on nude cartoon girls in this. Needless to say, Nickelodeon didn't like the idea and turned it down. John even wanted to show nudity on this proposed cartoon geared towards kids at the time, while using bubbles or something to cover the parts. Whereas Ren, would be fixated on seeing naked girls and possibly groping them. Stimpy being the lovable moron would only want to be there for the clean air and exercise. Therefore, John Kricfalusi came up with the concept of what if Ren and Stimpy were at the beach. Thus, the fan requested to make an entire episode filled with sexy girls like that. One of them was the "Naked Beach Frenzy." This cartoon was inspired by the famous "Powder Toast Man" cartoon, as one of fans liked John Kricfalusi's drawings of the sexy cartoon girls in that episode. However, as controversial as some may have thought those episodes were, they were nothing to what Nickelodeon didn't allow John Kricfalusi to create, as the studio deemed them too adult oriented for Nickelodeon's target audience. Often border lining between too controversial, like the "Space Madness" episode, to the not so much "Powder Toast Man" bit. show, but he also wrote many of their episodes. However, he didn't really get to flex his creative mind until he took on the infamous cartoon, "Ren & Stimpy." Where he not only directed the T.V. Thus, he got his chance when he directed the new, "Mighty Mouse" show which aired in 1987 to 1988. As he wanted to make cartoons that literally pushed the envelope in terms of comedy. However, he was never quite content with the originality of most of the shows he's worked on, as he felt most cartoons generically were too limited to what they were allowed to do. For those who don't know, John Kricfalusi, the creator of "Ren & Stimpy", used to do animation work on such cartoons as "Tiny Toons", "Smurfs", "Snorks", "Super Friends" and many others.
