“SpongeBob” production company Nick Animation Studio posted on a social platform, announcing that SpongeBob is a member of the LGBTQ+ group (including gays, bisexuals, asexuals, etc.) And released the rainbow version of SpongeBob’s image.
However, some netizens pointed out that the author of the animation, Stephen Helenberg, clearly stated that SpongeBob is asexual.
