Is 'Adventure Time' One Big Allegory For Discovering Sex?
"The original short that inspired the show contains a fairly blatant reference to masturbation, while "Princess Cookie" dealt fairly openly (and somewhat tragically) with a transgendered character and "What Was Missing" hinted at lesbian urges."
Now in it's fifth season, what is adventure time about?
This article can be problematic is some places, but is excellent in it's recalling of the many components that make up this show, and has a great thesis.

I prefer this take:
"Each episode of Adventure Time profiles a different orgy or rave had by the gang and their technicolored friends and enemies. They mask this for parents by identifying these gangbangs as “adventures”, when in reality they are nothing but drugged sodomy and rainbow colored evildoing. Nearly every episode involves some sort of new dirty fetish or erotic fantasy being inacted by the posse, and sometimes strangers are involved. Keep in mind that none of these people are married, except for Ice King, who, like Newt Gingrich, struggles with the tragic issue of maintaining a marriage and constantly looking for a soulmate in the face of adversity. Exposing innocent children to the “adventures” enacted in Adventure Time is counterintuitive to moral development."

I watched a couple of episodes of this insanity the other night...something about an evil snail...strangely I couldn't remember anything the next morning. I liked it.
You Guys Are Wrong Adventure time is not about that its about not being locked up in your room on your laptop all year round rumouring things like this its about actually going outside making friends and having fun A.K.A Adventure!
