Every single discussion of "queercoding" depends on confirmation bias. Start with an assumption, and work backward from there. Ignore any examples that don't fit the narrative. Point to one that does, and go "Aha! This 100% confirms it!"
Y'all read too deep into things. Just because you're obsessed with "queerness" doesn't mean the whole world is. There's no "hidden meaning", it's just a cartoon.

Sodomy used to be considered depraved and villainous.
>used to be
Sodomy used to be considered the proper way for a distinguished man to have sex (as long as he was penetrating), while a wife was just for procreation.
It still is, wtf are you on about
The cradle of western civilization considered sodomy between an older mentor and a young man one of the purest and most noble forms of human relationships.
No amount of whining will change this factual truth.
Germanic tribes never condoned such things.
Nah even when it was something that happened it was always controversial. You always still had shit like laws making booty bandits not allowed in the ecclesia or bottoming being illegal for free men.
>The Romans kept slaves
>Therefore slavery today is good actually and you're a prude bigot for disagreeing
>used to
Do people really think Jafar is gay now? He demanded jasmine marry him.
And Scar had a whole Harem of lion pussy
Scar tried to force himself on Nala in a deleted scene
Forgot to link
Villains aren't allowed to just be fun, flamboyant with a flair for the dramatic anymore.
Where's this image from?
Do really want a Deviantart link? All you're going to get is a whole page full of gay male furry blueberry inflation, bro.
The villains aren't gay, they're based off Broadway performers, who are gay. The intent was to make them showy, entertaining and a delight to watch. They drop the gay act hard when they mean business though.
If coding isn't real then why has my boss been paying me to write JavaScript for him?
"Voice actor is gay therefore the character is" is so lazy
Why on earth would you assume every gay is the villain? It's not like it's true.
I feel like I've seen this thread before word for word.
>gay
Both Jafar and Scar were attracted to the main females
Jafar and Scar are just British.
Ratcliffe is highly effeminate and dresses kinda homosexual but from what I remember he's jjust y'know....vain and lazy while being an absurd exaggeration of contemporary fashion.
I mean we're living in the timeline where homosexuals see a robot stand in front of a pink and blue sign and think it means she's a troony, or Danny Phantom. How did that become a thing?
That's the beauty of "coding", you don't have to have proof because it's "subtext" and any contrary proof is because it's a "metaphor"
Excuse you, Radcliffe is dapper. He’s just a dandy from a different era. Everything is gay if it’s not stereotypical modern nene fashion to these people.
You understand coding doesn't mean "secretly they are in fact something else," right? It means they factually aren't that other thing.
>claiming authority while shitting your pants over something you can't even comprehend
Hence the "subtext" and "metaphor" bullshit.
Queercoding basically means "we want to pretend they're gay and know they're not" all these characters are just British, that's it. That's the coding.
No
>laughs in Paul Lynde impression at you
I love how homophobic the coding concept really is
>this character is dramatic and sassy, he must be like all the other gays
Impressive bait thread.
Not the other two but I have explicit visual evidence Scar takes Hyena dick
Cope
"Queercoding" is just cope
I’m tired of the idea flamboyant = gay. Let straight men be over the top again without the gays saying it means it’s “queer coded”.
It used to be considered hateful and homophobic to go "oh, that character is effeminate and lispy, that's so fricking homosexual, I bet he takes it up the ass" but now it's really progressive when I say it so I feel good now.
Either way it's the truth
When they said "learn to code" this isn't what they had in mind.
This. just because OP sucks dicks doesnt mean hes a gay
OP is moron-coded
Coding is a thing creators have used for literally thousands of years, and nobody except brainrotted culture war homosexuals like you thinks this is in any way disputable.
a character being "queer coded" doesnt mean the character is gay you fricking morons
(cont)
if the characters were actually gay, it wouldn't be "coding", the whole point of queer coding is that the character has traits and quirks that were associated with gayness at the time, this was historically done for any number of reasons either as a direct intentional way of alluding to the character as gay, or as a subtle way of having a villain feel unsettling to heterosexual viewers, or just plainly for the sake of a flamboyant character being entertaining as comic relief
