Starting a discussion here because I don't want to turn the Alternate Character Interpretation entry into natter.
Anyway, while it IS possible that Freddy would be offended at someone accusing him of being gay, Robert Englund has had his own ACI of Freddy in regards to A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge , saying that the latter represented Jesse's repressed homosexuality, and that saying that Freddy's bisexual isn't out of the realm of possibility. When I say that Freddy could possibly be offended at someone calling him gay, it's more in terms of Armoured Closet Gay , because otherwise, I don't think he'd have the same reaction at being called a Nazi or retarded, for example (of course this is completely ignoring my original interpretation of him being offended by someone merely using the other F-word, regardless of who it was being aimed at)
