Is there a more retarded concept in fandom culture than "coding"?

there was nothing about Scar that was "queer coded" and I do not understand why fags keep bringing this one up. Ursula I can get since iirc she's based on Divine and even then it's not a big deal, but Scar was just a dramatic shit, a dandy if you will. And being a dandy does not equal gay.

>This character is a certain race purely based on stereotypes
Some characters are deliberately written as such. For example, Wilt in Foster's is clearly meant to be black. Queer-coding is just relying on stereotypes though, it's a kid's movie, of course villains are going to be over the top, especially if they have a villain song that says "I'm the fucking best".

He was flamboyant. That's it. That's all it takes to be considered queer coded

>and now we've come full circle where you MUST follow the stereotypes or else you don't count?
You're missing the second half of the term: "-coded". If they're a black person following black stereotypes, they're not black-coded; they're just a stereotypical black. If they're a sassy cow following black stereotypes, they're coded.

>black character with black stereotypes
Racist and you get cancelled
>animal character with black stereotypes
YAS QUEEN if the animal is not brown, but racist if the animal is brown.
It's that simple.

>and now we've come full circle where you MUST follow the stereotypes or else you don't count?
Sure but it is true in America in a larger sense. Read and are black? So white.
Gay but don't dress like concert Elton John? Ashamed
Bi but don't have rainbows all over your house? Traitor.

People have been talking about Scar like that long before anyone called it "queer-coding". Back when the movie was released, MAD magazine's parody comic turned Scar into a drag queen.

Well, user, you might be too young to remember but historically you couldn’t really depict homosexuality or non-white cultures and characters because right wing Christians would clutch their pearls (Dungeons and Dragons? Harry Potter being witchcraft? Fucking Pokemon displaying evolution) so, yeah, a lot of creators would implicitly include these characters and “code” them as to avoid facing the censorship from WASP families.

>non-white cultures
>Christians
Oh user, wait until you find what religion most non-white cultures adhear to in America...

What happens if I black code a white guy by making him a stupid thug on drugs and welfare?
Is it offensive that I wrote him that way or that the retards who cry about racism see that as "the black experience"?

>How did the world end up like this? How did we go so far off the deep end that we were fighting stereotypes for the longest time, and now we've come full circle where you MUST follow the stereotypes or else you don't count?
Four wave peeminists & LGBTQ+

desu that just seems like Mad has either never seen a flamboyant person (well, lion) before or they just thought it'd be funny since men dressing as women has been a long-running joke before trannies were given a voice to bitch and complain about it

Doesn't help that a shitload of Disney songs were written by a gay guy.

Show me the non-white Christian organizations that are trying to turn this country into a theocracy.

Homosexuals are inherently evil so it makes sense.

BLM

Why do they use villains and not heroes or sidekicks like Turk the gorilla or Timon and Pumbaa?

BLM is about racial justice, not religion, user. Just say you’re racist with your chest next time.

I thought it was about funneling money out of activism to buy mansions?

With each passing year, the world gets more and more retarded. What's worse is that the it's mainly zoomers and some millennials following these stupid trends, so I fear for the future of humanity.

Imagine caring about this.

>BLM is about get money*

I never really enjoyed the Mad show that aired on Cartoon Network back in the early 2010's, but this strip certainly made me LMAO.

>obese female character is "coded" as a lesbian
my sides

Calling it a fandom thing is dumb, 'coding' characters as gay or whatever has existed for quite some time
However I can agree that the idea is often taken too far nowadays or applied in ridiculous ways

>BLM is about racial justice
kys faggot

So literally all of them in western works?

coding is just a coping justification that their gay ship is canon and not just their fanfiction.

Also Scar's animator was gay.

>Lion Hilter is queer!
Man.

"Racial justice"
Define "justice"
From what I can tell, it's just enslaving white people in tax farms out of some sense of revenge fetishism from communists.

Furry characters voiced by black women give me big hard stiff boner, my boner is twice as hard when they are fat. I have masturbated to Gloria on multiple occasions

I get that the lack of representation over the years means you're starved for anything.

But why do so many LGBT want to be represented by faccists, attempted child murderers, actual murderers, traffickers, and abusers?

Yeah, we get it, Ursula had her design inspired by a famous drag queen, and half the Disney song writers were closeted, that doesn't mean the intention was for those characters to be that.

Coding is when a white voice acted character is clearly meant to be black, if a black voice actor does it there's no coding that character is just black.

>mehitabel from shinbone alley is a black character despite having a white voice actor
For example.

Not that many actually.
Howard Ashman only wrote for Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and some of Aladdin.
Tim Rice, who is straight, write the rest of Aladdin and the Lion King, and most of the other lyric writers were straight. The “only gays write musicals” is a myth started by people who hate the arts and it has never been true

reminder that Scar is straight, or at least had kids
and in the musical he hit on Nala

Who are you talking about? If it's Ursula she's literally a drag queen

Mostly false. To say this would imply that the extremist were in control, the bitching was always done by a small minority and No one ever really backed down to them post 1960’s. The death of the hollywood code was the end of the Christian hold on America.
And even then, most of the people making these things were Christian to some degree anyway because the atheist movement was in its infancy

BLM is a religion though, one as violent as Islam

You have to realize that these people need to be told how to live and think. They group you thinking brands and products were their identity and now they are their identity. If they can’t immediately feel catered to or represented in their consumerist products, it’s a problem to their world view.
This is why so many people treat their “what’s your hogwarts house” like a horoscope and every person they disagree with is “thanos”

>Ursula is based on fucking divine
>How is queer coding real
Yea Forums does it again.

The end result of lazy parents letting TV raise their kids

Based on a drag Queen, but not actually a drag Queen. Ursula is a woman, they just based her on Devine

That's not coding, that's being inspired by someone

That version of mad and this version of mad are very different animals. Different writers, different decades etc

Kinda fucked up, when you think about it. It’s profiling.

So
Is right but is being a bit disingenuous. Back then, the coding was very much an intentional part on the writers and directors. Usually this would tie into some kind of theme or message the movie was trying to portray.
In addition to some effeminate behavior, your typical “gay-coded” character would have an implicit crush on a same sex character or have some kind of obvious metaphor for their gayness present in their lives. The Kid from Nightmare part 2 was “gay-coded” for instance and it very obviously shows. Theo from The Haunting (1963) was gay coded. Kaworu from Evangelion is another great example, his interactions with Shinji are designed to imply some kind of attraction, there’s a homoerotic undertone to almost every scene with them. There are still recent examples like Joker in the Lego Batman movie (albeit there it’s more of a playful jab at the hero-villain dynamic)
What you typically see online is different. It’s an excuse for headcanons. This is why every tomboy and effeminate male is now “gay coded”. Any moment of male camaraderie is “gay coded”.
You’ll notice this especially with Japanese video games and anime because those characters are already more stylized and often have slender designs, so people scream “queer coded” because they’ve trained themselves to view it through this lens without accounting for cultural differences.

They're animal characters, literally all of them can be black if you want.
You don't need an arbitrary reason for it.

>Kaworu from Evangelion is another great example, his interactions with Shinji are designed to imply some kind of attraction
He literally tells him he loves him. That’s blatant, not coding

Broadway and showbusiness are totally a gay magnet though

>Meanwhile Piccolo has been black since the 90s

I blame either the autists on the part of the spectrum who can't get subtext or a fringe part of the woke movement obsessed with rationalizing and redefining half the dictionary before they even start arguing. I once read some guy sperg out for six pages because that bisexual dude from Game of Thrones, the one we actually saw in the middle of a bisexual sandwich on screen and who made very clear he swung in every way possible every second sentence he spoke, was a case of bi erasure because he never explicitly said he was.
