nine-gear crow posted:drat near every Disney Renaissance film villain is immensely queer-coded. The only one who really isn't is Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame, mainly because the whole crux of his character is his blatant heterosexual lust, and even he's still prone to some very femme overacting, especially in the Hellfire sequence. It's kind of like how William Blake read Paradise Lost as a pro-Satan text: Lucifer may be an rear end in a top hat, but he gets all the great moments and he seems much cooler than stodgy old God.

RareAcumen posted:I dunno, I'm looking at the list and I think it might just be Hades and Scar. But I might just be forgetting more of Pocahontas than I realized, I don't remember Governor Ratcliffe having that energy. I might just need things spoonfed to me because I'm not fully convinced when it comes to Clayton, Gaston, Shan Yu and Jafar. Clayton mostly get their queer coding from the associated recurring trope of making the villain more vain or appearance-focused than the hero. Now, obviously, vanity and being LGBTQ+ are not in any way related in the real world, but it's become heavily tied up in fictional portrayals of gay men in the 20th century. The idea is that a man being focused on his appearance is effeminate and gay men are effeminate. Clayton isn't necessarily effeminate in his personality but his design, especially in contrast to the more rugged Tarzan, deliberately evokes the image of a more well-kempt, slightly effeminate aristocrat, what with his tiny mustache and well-groomed hair. Jafar's kind of a tricky one for me as I definitely think he's queer coded to some degree in his mannerisms, but can't really articulate in specifics? He's basically theatrical and dramatic along the same lines as Captain Hook or Scar. Gaston also has the whole vanity and image consciousness thing going for him as a character, but his queer coding also comes from his interactions with his little sycophant sidekick LeFou. While Gaston himself isn't really queer coded through his own actions LeFou's fawning admiration of the guy, especially in Gaston's big villain number, creates a major association in the audience's mind between Gaston and same-sex attraction. Shan Yu doesn't have enough of a personality to be coded as anything but a scary, foreign invader man. So yeah, he's probably the actual least queer-coded Disney Renaissance villain.

Ratcliffe falls under the same umbrella as Gaston where he's vain, he has that whole musical number where he minces down a flight of stairs in a shimmering gold cape, and he's also got a fawning sycophant with a little yappy lapdog. You especially contrast him with John Smith who is the rugged manly action hero type. Everything about the villains says they're the "wrong" kind of men which is bundled up with general homophobia in our culture.

Jenny is masterclass because I can just imagine her saying that in her very sweet yet no-nonsense tone of voice that lets you know she means exactly what she says and no she will not elaborate any further because you also know exactly what she means. I agree, this is concise and savage I AM GRANDO posted:It’s not the perfect punishment, but I’m glad that terfs have painted themselves into the corner of having to pretend to like Harry Potter and especially her lovely detective stories. It's ironic because the very same people slobbering over her now probably wrote her off as a liberal sjw, even as recently as 5 years ago. She tried so hard to write some obvious Trump allegory in her newest movie completely oblivious to the fact she probably has more Trump-supporting fans now than anyone vaguely left leaning.

Yeah, things seemed to initially trend that way when Just Kidding said Dumbledore was gay. The fans briefly rode high on it until they asked her about other representation and we got Anthony Goldstein, Jewish Wizard Banker and so on and now here we are.

Shan Yu, not so much.

I've actually always thought it was Rowling who's been riding the high of the Dumbledore thing and just never quite knew how to catch that same breeze. That prank video was really telling with the whole, "I think this will look good for me on social media" thing. I think that's how she's been operating; she'll do whatever looks good in headlines and retweets. Like Trump, actually.

She defended casting a black actress for Hermione in that one play, which she got poo poo over, and naturally she had to go one step further to look at good as possible by claiming it was her intent all along in the standard weird attempt to retcon her life. Now that the terf brain rot has settled in, I imagine she’ll be busy trying to beat Linehan’s record for speedrunning career suicide. Gonna be tough given how much farther down she has to go, but given her cozying up to an outright fascist, I’m sure she’ll be crying about her divorce before a government body in no time!

The Saddest Rhino posted:yeah she could have gone the james frey route of starting a publisher churning out YA novels but i guess to her that means enriching other people other than herself Yeah, James Frey set up the equivalent of a YA novel sweatshop. He snookered MFA program grads into a Faustian iron clad contract that got their time and effort and got them published* with the stipulation that all their work had to be published under a collective pseudonym, Frey had complete creative control over it and could fire them at any moment for any reason, they could claim no credit for it or use it to build their own careers off of or they'd be sued for breach of contract, and all the money went to Frey, aside from a $250 advance, if I recall correctly. James Frey is a legitimately evil son of a bitch and every time I run across another one of those godawful Lorien Legacy books which are the primary product of said YA sweatshop, I want to pick it up and hurl it across the book store into the furthest, darkest corner I can find. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Jul 13, 2022 |

Maybe she was always like this and it’s just become more obvious as she keeps doing it. I don’t know. She’s convinced herself she’s always right and smart. If something wasn’t planned, she’ll lie and say it was because she can’t let anyone think she was dumb or careless. Maybe that’s also why she’ll never crawl out of the hate bog she fell in either. Doing so would mean acknowledging she was ever wrong or on the bad side of a major issue.

Yeah like, as it is now her treatment of the Dumbledore character is trending to homophobic in the plausible deniability way, imo. He can be gay so long as he remains the good, celibate, asexual gay man who doesn't flaunt it all over. She has more money than Jesus, if she was actually interested in putting representation in her films there'd be more than one couple and/or she could have argued for actual on-screen affection. This is why she's comfortable aligning with homophobes along with transphobes. I don't believe for a second she won't drop the rest of the LGBT when it suits her, she doesn't actually care even if she'd like to think she does.

The Shrieking Shack wondered if the only reason she made Dumbledore gay (which the text in book seven at least somewhat supported) was because it was meant to underline how wrong it was of Dumbledore to even fall in love with ol' Grindelwald. And then she turned it around by making the implied explicit to gain points with her fans instead.
