Many Nickelodeon shows of the 2000s had strong homophobic subtexts, and ICarly (2007-2012) was one of the worst. Miranda Cosgrove starred as Carly, who hosts an internet comedy show with her butch-but-straight buddy Sam (a girl) and nerd-next-door-with-a- stereotyped crush on her, Freddie (Nathan Kress).
They are supervised by her wacky bi-subtext older brother, Spencer.
On the way, the contempt for gay men, or as Sam alls them, prancies, oozes out in joke after joke. The most egregious is Spencer being chased down and arrested for appearing in public in a dress; cross-dressing has not been a crime in any American city since the 1970s.
I especially disliked Nathan Kress, amd not only for the horribly cliched "unrequited crush" plotlines. As he bulked up, he steadfastly refused to permit beefcake photos. To an extent, that's his choice: his body, his rules. But when you choose a career that depends on displaying that body, and further set yourself up as a teen idol, you have a sort of obligation to your fans.
I wouldn't find this mug so annoying if I didn't know that Nathan's God is good only to heterosexuals.
I don't know who the crazy looking friend is.
Nathan's homophobic connections and dearth of beefcake photos have made me altogether interested in finding some nude photos, just to make him mad. "Oh no, prancies seeing my dick!"

More annoying was his reason for failing to post beefcake: he was a way, way conservative fundamentalist of the "hating ten gays before breakfast" variety, and he didn't want girls and prancies getting ideas.
And he's still ultra-fundamentalist.
More Nathan after the break

He has 49 other credits on the IMDB, including a lot of Nickelodeon teencoms; some animated cartoons; the drama Into the Storm, about tornados; and the webseries Alive in Denver, about an apocalypse that doesn't happen. Not a lot of potential for dick and butt shots there.
Although the star of Into the Storm, Richard Armitage, has a dick shot.
Wait -- Nathan stars in the new, 2021-23 version of ICarly, which brings the cast nine years into the future. Freddie is dating Carly, and living with his stepdaughter.
And befriending Carly's new roommate, Harper, who is pansexual. She is shown dating men and women.
Huh? Why would Nathan agree to something like that?
The nude photos:
1. I don't know about this one. Why would Nathan be reclining surrounded by Marilyn Monroes, a football, and a purple alligator on a stick?
2. This might be more realistic: an outdoor setting. Nathan changes into his swimsuit, gets aroused, someone snaps a photo.
The nude photos are on RG Beefcake and Boyfriens
