It all started from a scene in the movie where Splinter makes out with a mutant cockroach, Scumbag.

The reviewer Price of Reason assumed this meant Splinter is gay.

Though a poster identifies Scumbag as "him," director Jeff Rowe revealed this was a marketing mistake.

While it wouldn't have been an issue if Splinter were gay, the internet tends to react strongly to perceived "woke" content.
