I don't think so.

I think a about Stephen King's IT in this case. That was the perfect example of a person writing what they saw, without actually understanding what they were seeing. He has more than one queer-coded character because he saw kids who acted a certain way and just mimed it. It was other LGBTQIA+ people who recognized those traits for what they could mean. And that was so powerful that it literally changed the canon. (Stephen King was happy to roll with Richie's character being explicitly gay.)

I think that's the perfect example of coding being unintentional but having dramatic effect. Writers write what they see. They aren't always going to understand what they're seeing and copying.
