Not thrilled is just the beginning.
I have seen some Cubs that started with me become Eagle Scouts and awesome members of their community.
A couple are going for congress...... I really dislike their political bent, but I am voting for one, and if he asks, going door to door for the other.
I think the OP wanted to start a political discussion or have a ramble about the scouts but instead got a Paul Lynde love in and ended up doing EAs marketing or them.
I'm so tempted to buy the Scoutmaster even though I didn't give him a second glance when the message came up that he was available to buy.

Methinks the Scoutleader for 30+ years doth protest toooo much.
Unsure what your issue with the Game is.............. This seems more like an off-topic political, pro/cons scouts talk - not really game related....
Unless you care to Explain the Game Issue Here?
Wait, I get it now! I always knew it was "campy" but now I get how he's the scout master...who goes "camping". If a scout master was "campy" he'd basically be gay, too. Hah, genius. (Them, not me.)
I'm offended that you won't allow gays lead in the Scouts.. Sounds like Boy Scouts is a hate group.
I agree. Sucks they have to make any boys in the troop ashamed and hiding "in the closet" to be a scout if their gay.
Sorry, I was a Girl Scout - I know how to make fires - it did NOT shape my being, or make me a woman. From what I see of Boy Scouts - same thing. You worry too much of your image and don't Really help boys in Need of guidance - they are the ones you shun.
That said - this is more of an off-topic post, like I said earlier. Political and possibly Inflammatory

I told myself I was going to avoid further contributions to this thread, but I cant seem to help myself...
I always assumed the Scoutmaster was Swartzwelders send-up of the BSA policy that homosexuals do not provide a desirable role model for Scouts, especially given that this was a somewhat hot cultural debating point in the early 90s and Radioactive Man first aired in 1995. But just to be clarify, the BSA has ever so slowly modified its stance on this issue. The ban against openly-gay scouts was lifted in 2013 and the ban against openly-gay adults in leadership roles ended in 2015.
I didnt agree with the OPs dislike of the character, but he didnt really amplify on the reasons for his dislike. Thats his prerogative. And it doesnt seem as though a fuller explanation is going to be forthcoming, so rather than guess at the OPs thought processes, perhaps we should heed Annas advice and let this thread die.

Agreed! I was thinking the same thing. No response since the initial post. Maybe thought he would get more people agreeing with him instead got the opposite. So yeah let this die.
Feels like how Isaac Hayes was fine with South Park's merciless assault on every religion until they set their sights on Scientology. His religion. Then, suddenly, it was no longer a joke.
People like that make me sick. It would be the same thing if I laughed at the Simpsons taking one out on Australians or the French, then suddenly being offended when they called Canada "America Jr."
It's a two way street and your opinion is to be ignored if you are only comfortable with humor targeting ideas unrelated to yourself.

Qudweiser?
It's good to be back... think I will hang around for a while again. Just get back to my cross stitch now ?
Ooohhh... got censored.... can't say that word then.

Oh, thanks. Looks like the character is the not as censorable "Bi-Polar Bear". Good to know.

By "agreeing" this is keeping the thread alive.
I almost agreed to not keep this post going, but then I stopped myself! HA!
Close call.
