Tintin: Spielberg doesn't force female love interest on much-beloved Belgian man-boy character; Time: 'Everybody's probably gay'
From Band of Thebes:
...6. Does Tintin — how can I put this — love the ladies? That is not known. He does not appear to be a sexual being at all. (This question is explored in Frederic Tuten’s excellent novel Tintin in the New World [[Kindle]] as well as Charles Burns’ hallucinatory graphic novel X'ed Out which stars a feckless manchild named Nitnit.)
7. Does he even know any ladies? Not really. There are hardly any female characters at all in Tintin. I don’t know why this is, but it’s a major weakness of the series. The only recurring female character is Bianca Castafiore, this awful opera-singer who’s weirdly obsessed with Captain Haddock. She makes a cameo in the movie. But all of Tintin’s other friends are guys, all of whom seem to be unmarried. Basically everybody’s probably gay...
