Was C3P0 gay?

[Fuzz]

:shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Would it have mattered?

:shrug:

[Fuzz]

2. Don't know. Just wondering.

Watching Return of the Jedi right now on Cinemax. Followed episodes 4 and 5, so have been watching Star Wars all night long. :)

[everythingsxen]

3. *Could* "he" be gay?

As a droid "he" is technically sexless, though he definately had male aspects of his persona.

[Quantess]

4. He was programmed with a gay persona

so yes, in way he was gay. But he never acted on it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Persona?? I missed that part of the movie...

:wtf:

[Quantess]

11. Okay, okay.....I made it all up.

It sounded convincing, though, didn't it?

[Sapphocrat]

13. No.

And I'll repeat: :wtf:

[Quantess]

16. Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes....

I am removing myself from this discussion right now.
:beer:

28. He repeatedly plugged his communications port into R2D2's backside

When no one was watching. What passed between the two of them is something that only they can describe.

[billyskank]

33. Not gay - camp

C3PO is camp.

[Aristus]

5. For me, there existed in C-3PO an element of the Jewish noodge.

After his line to R2-D2, "I never doubted you for a second! Wonderful!", I always expected him to follow it with a "Mazel Tov!"

[Redstone]

9. "Noodge." It's been years since I've heard anyone but me use that word.

And I'm not even Jewish.

It's a great one, like so many other Yiddish words.

Redstone

[Sapphocrat]

14. So do I, and I'm not Jewish either.

There's just no suitable non-Yiddish word like it!

[Redstone]

15. Sometimes, there is no substitute. Isn't that right, bubbeleh?

Redstone

[Sapphocrat]

26. You said it, ya big mensch. ;) n/t

[rockymountaindem]

23. I *am* Jewish

and I've never heard that word. What the heck is a noodge?

[Karenca]

42. noodge :

to pester, nag, whine;
as a noun, a pest or whiner (from Yiddish nudyen).

[rockymountaindem]

43. Ooooh!!!

A nuge! The way you wrote it I thought it was a "newdge". I guess it's just a pronounciation/spelling thing.

[Redstone]

6. Could there be any doubt?

Redstone

[Bluebear]

31. Do tell?

[chknltl]

7. I just figured that...

...he was in the closet. :P

[Lautremont]

22. There are probably three or four seperate incidents

throughout the movies (I'm guessing - not a scholar on the subject) where he either wants to hide in the closet from Stormtroopers or investigates a closet for reasons of his own ("E-chu-ta"). So I think you've hit the nail on the head.

[BigMcLargehuge]

10. He was totally Bi

nary

[slj0101]

24. Hmm...and just what is a binary load-lifter anyway?

[TheBaldyMan]

35. A gaydroid body builder

[Lethe]

12. naw

just a spaz with a british accent

[Glorfindel]

17. I doubt it...he was invented & programmed by a 6 year old

fatherless boy with a pure heart and incredible talent. Threepio was whiny and condescending (SUCH gay traits!) because those were attributes of Anakin's owner/employer/master, the only "father figure" he ever knew, until the Jedi Master entered his life.

[havocmom]

18. Don't know, don't care. But C3PO's momma was a trash can

and his daddy was a Hoover.

[madinmaryland]

27. Best. Answer. Yet.

:rofl:

[leftofthedial]

19. still is

[NNadir]

20. I dunno. Do robots have sexuality?

I recall that I always thought that the little vaccuum cleaner robot - I forget his name - was perverse in some sick and indescribable way, but I think I only saw one or two of the movies, and I can't remember much about them.

[Blue-Jay]

21. I dunno...What do *you* think?

[LostInAnomie]

29. DAAAAAAMMMMNNN!!!!

C3PO is packing! I feel a little sorry for R2D2.

[NNadir]

30. That's a question I probably shouldn't have asked.

I kind of feel sorry for the vacuum cleaner robot, having to handle that thing.

[terrya]

44. OMG!!

Well, now, THAT grabs one's attention! :-)

[malmapus]

25. Do protocol driods even have a sexual preference?

:shrug:

EDIT: Although in Knights of the Old Republic there is a mission to help a droid who has a widow owner that seems to be utilizing it for more functions than it was built for hehe.

[TheBaldyMan]

32. You mean like is his transistors PNP or NPN, it think it's hardwired in 'droids

[Guava Jelly]

34. Well he traveled around with that rolling dildo

R2Dil2

[rug]

36. Just because he has a British accent, don't make assumptions.

[billyskank]

37. It wasn't the British accent - he was very camp

That is what this is all about. Camp does not mean gay, although the link has been established by several gay entertainers who were very camp. Especially in Britain. Nevertheless, most gay guys are not camp.

[wildhorses]

C3PO

RULES

[wildhorses]

self delete dupe

damn double and triple postin' pooter :grr:

[wildhorses]

38. i think the word is androgonous...(sp?)

:shrug:


spell check passed it but, it just does not look right to me

[billyskank]

39. Androgynous

and I still think his attitude was camp.

[wildhorses]

40. thanks, billy

and yes, camp is a good word for his attitude

[Conan_The_Barbarian]

41. The only thing you know for sure about any robot

is that they're evil. Whenever I hear somone say "evil robot", my response is, "Evil robots.... is there any other kind?"
