** It is possible to have feelings during straight sex and be gay. Mac (along with the rest of the gang) is an emotionally immature, stunted, guy. It seems like it would be easy for him to become infatuated with someone or emotionally-dependent because he's so desperate and needy. Plus, Dee and Dennis's mom is the only example of that happening. That coupled with that we as the audience still don't know what was going on in Mac's mind during that incident is kind of flimsy. If anything, "The Storm of the Century" where Mac hides in the bunker enjoying gawking at the weatherwomen is more proof of any possible bisexuality. (Still, Rob McElhenney says that Mac is "straight-up gay" in an interview" but it is interesting.)

[[WMG: Mac isn't really gay. He's just confused and the writers are just messing with us]]
I think people on message boards started to pick up ambiguously gay cues with Mac and the writers decided to hint more strongly at it just for fun
"the thing is, I kind of hate women"

... is simply due to their constant drinking. It's actually pretty obvious - anyone drinking this much for this long is guaranteed to suffer some rather unpleasant effects. Some of effects this can have (according to Wikipedia) include impaired development, irritability, antisocial behaviour, depression, anxiety, panic, psychosis, hallucinations, delusions .. remind you of anyone? The way the Gang acts now, in the 11th season, is just the logical consequence after years and years of drinking. This show does have a StatusQuo (the Gang can never suceed), but there's also a lot of character development, and since the gang never had to face reality because of Frank's "endless goddamn supply of money", his crazy, depraved antics ''plus'' their excessive consumption of alcohol ''plus'' the occasional drug habit, the showrunners are simply depicting the effects this behaviour had on these characters as straight-forward as possible. Which might also be the reason why the show recieves more and more criticism as the {{Flanderisation}} continues - because watching a person fall apart due to the long-term effects of alcohol consumption simply ''isn't fun''. It might just be SeasonalRot, but it could also be an attempt to show that even though the Gangs weird antics and schemes are pretty fun to watch, their behaviour is seriously harmful to them and others. And even though the fans of the show can really appreciate really, really DarkComedy, there's a real chance there to make this show ''incredibly'' deep as well.

* Has it ever been implied that he's killed people? It's certainly been implied he's mentally capable of it but I can't recall anything to suggest he has actively killed anyone.

* Charlie mentions that being "Green Man" got him through vaguely reference some rough times. Like say, being molested by his uncle.

* He's a complete sociopath, a controlling neat freak, a witty deadpan snarker, and an implied serial killer. He even has the taste for eighties music.

* The [=McPoyles=] will come back for one last revenge scheme, and as they kill the gang, also end up killing themselves. Then Rickey Cricket comes out of nowhere and thinks it's a sign from God, only to have something fall and kill him too.

* We know Nicki is a girl and Frank took her nametag. We know the Waitress couldn't find hers. The fact that the Gang knows of Nicki and apparently hung out with her in high school would be utterly in character with their forgetfulness of... everything about the Waitress.

* And they'll make sure someone else is blamed for it.

* Either the gang dies at the hands of those they have wronged throughout the seasons or the gang will snap and kill eachother.

* He's a got a fetish for older women, at the very least. But the gang is so ignorant that the idea of anyone being something other than gay or straight is a totally alien concept to them.

* Unlike the rest of the Gang, his depravity comes from a conscious desire to be an awful person and he intentional tries to become worse and worse as the series goes on. As a result of his behavior, the rest of the Gang became much more depraved than they originally were to the point of becoming unable to function in society. Had Frank not entered their lives, the Gang probably would have continued to simply be self-absorbed but ultimately harmless nobodies rather than the dangerous psychopaths the are today.

* Bruce tried to arrange Frank and Dee to have sex, and was content with watching Dee masturbate instead out of a desire to humiliate the both of them. He also blames Frank for making his children terrible, instead of actually intervening when they were children. Sure you hear about all the good things he does, but Dee and Dennis tell people they do good things too and you never actually see Bruce do anything purely good on screen. He also had a lengthy relationship with Barbara who we know is unpleasant. Him arranging for Dennis to lose his mother's house could've been out of a desire for it to go to the next heir (which is probably Bruce). Bruce is just a Dennis who is better at hiding his sociopathy and evil. Yet again, he seemed perfectly comfortable with watching his daughter masturbate in front of him.

** They become an OfficialCouple and their relationship is terrible, but may stay together anyway because they can't do any better.

* If they do canonize Dee[=/=]Dennis, I have some theories on how this will play out:
** The [=McPoyles=] approve, [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame this creeps Dennis and Dee out]].
** Or they play up Dee and Dennis' disgust at the [=McPoyles=] and their incestuous relations for HypocriticalHumor.
** Given his screwed views on consent, Dennis might force himself on Dee. I'm not so sure about this one though. I know they've done BlackComedyRape jokes. But they never actually show it. So this one might be too dark even for this show. And even if it isn't, it could cross DudeNotFunny territory.
** It is awkward (because y'know, it's taboo and all) and Dee and Dennis never speak of it again. Or if they do, it's really awkward.

** The rest of gang make fun of Dennis or at least, are confused by this because not only did he make out with [[BrotherSisterIncest his sister]], but also because [[HollywoodHomely Dee]].
** Someone takes a picture of or video tapes them making out and blackmails them with it.
** They were drunk.

* Riggs marries Murtaugh's daughter. This is a bit of a stretch, but he could be marrying her because of their resemblance towards one-another or simply she reminds him of Murtaugh.

* The ShowerScene between Riggs and Murtaugh. Okay, [[MaleGaze the reason why he put that scene in there was obvious]]. But listen to him defend the scene, saying it's a love story between two men. [[HeterosexualLifePartners It's clear he meant]]. But it's also portrayed as a partial FreudianSlip. Why not take it a step further and think he actually wanted the TokenRomance to be between Riggs and Murtaugh?

[[WMG: Mac subconsciously wanted to ship Murtaugh[=/=]Riggs in the ''Film/LethalWeapon {{Fan Film}}s.]]
