Apparently, Portal was made to fight the penis

a few gems

The gun is typically regarded as a phallic symbol of masculine agency, through which power is won and maintained.

A psychoanalytic reading would likely conclude that the portal is an image of the female sex organs: oval and receptive, and also a metaphorical birth canal through which the protagonist is constantly being born into new trials.

Another non-traditional character, the Weighted Companion Cube, represents male identity in Portal. Though it is an inanimate object, the Cube is referred to as an idealized companion. The Cube is used to hold down giant buttons that open doors around the Enrichment Center, and features pink hearts emblazoned on each side. The Cube must be carried around one entire level, and is burdensome despite its usefulness. GLaDOS encourages Chell to develop emotional attachment to the Cube, despite its strictly utilitarian function of holding down buttons. Ultimately, Chell incinerates the Weighted Companion Cube, symbolizing a mental unburdening from the need for approval from a father figure.

Apparently, LazyTown was made to fight the color purple.
Give me a few hours and I'll have finished the report.

I look forward to it. Be sure to use lots of big words so it looks more legitimate than it really is.

I should just copy paste the original article and replace some words. It could apply to anything with a little tweaking.

idealized companion... burdensome despite its usefulness...

I think either sex can be described that way. If anything it would be females who are seen that way by a majority ;)

This thread makes me loathe women even more than I did before.

Thank God I stick to little girls.
