NAYRT

[(Anonymous)]

strongly coded as gay or queer, or otherwise imply queerness

See, I don't understand what that means or what would include? And I am queer.

For one thing, people are constantly pointing out "obvious subtext" between characters but when I look at it, it's nothing different than what I do with some of my platonic friends.

Re: NAYRT

[(Anonymous)]

A lot of people use the term incorrectly and point it at things where it's not actually relevant.

I'm not sure I'm really capable of getting into how something is coded as queer at the moment but, like. There are narratives and aesthetics that are strongly associated - including internally - with queerness for historical and cultural reasons. Consciously invoking them (and obviously it's a judgment call if it's conscious or not) sort of necessarily associates the two ideas.

It's not the same as saying whether something is romantic or not. It's not proof that two characters are romantically involved. That's really not how the thing operates. Like I say, we're operating on the level of associated ideas and narratives here. It's not a question of whether the action or theme is intrinsically queer, it's a question of its relationship to the domain of queerness. So, like, it's something on the level of story, not on the level of relationships between two people.

IDK there's probably been about a million words written on the Internet about how this shit works.
