A lot has been made about the homosexual themes in the He-Man universe. And, many a young male began examine their He-Man action figure, feeling oddly uncomfortable at the sight of his flowing Prince Valiant hair-do, his oiled, ridiculously muscled torso and tiny furred Speedo. And, a look on his face that conveyed the act of physical love, captured in mid-grunt.
If He-Man represented a more subtle form of molestation, Skeletor was the polar opposite. His studded black leather costume was reminiscent of a demonic leather daddy, who could have easily graced the covers of many a death-metal album and certain magazines they always sold behind the counter at the convenience store. Way behind.
Some of you are turning up your noses at the idea of homosexual overtones--we assure you, we do not take the topic lightly.
Let us simply list for you some names of actual He-Man characters:
RAM MAN
TUNG LASHOR
MANTENNA
STINKOR
...there was also SNOUT POUT and EXTENDAR
and, of course, FISTO
