The thing about A Foot Too Big

What Raph COULD have said to Donnie: It’s not going to happen Donnie. April just isn’t interested in you. The sooner you realize that the better.

What Raph DID say:  It’s not going to happen Donnie. You a mutant turtle, she’s a human girl. The sooner you know that the better.

I still hate what he said. I know he was trying to teach his brother not to act like a lovesick puppy towards April, I know April was his friend too and I know he was just trying to spare his brother of heartbreak, but I still think there could have been another way to tell him he didn't have a shot, just not like this. I also think that this just makes me upset SO MUCH is because I'm also an Apritello shipper and he is supposed to be Donnie's OLDER brother. I just can't believe that people still think that the reason why Donnie doesn't have a shot with April is ENTIRELY because he's a mutant turtle and she's "a human girl". Like, come on? Donnie treats April better now, so your telling me he STILL doesn't have a shot? And April ISN'T fully human no less (and didn't Donnie SAY this)??? Yeah, right.
