#perhaps queer coded isnt the correct term for it

[reikunrei]

someone: yuki sohma isnt queer coded

me: thinks about all the times characters have called him a “pretty boy”, and all the times characters (boys) wanted to see him in a dress and fawned over him at the mere thought of it, and how he tried to force himself to be romantically interested in tohru (yes i am aware that he actually sees her as a mother figure instead of a possible romantic partner) and that is a very clear closeted queer trope that many real queer people go thru trying to force themselves to be “normal” when they dont know any better

#and by queer i do not just mean gay oh my god ghsdfjgkf #anyway idk why i made this i was just ghjdf it rubbed me the wrong way seeing someone #be like ummm no hes not queer coded #like lmao im sure he wasnt on purpose but it's all there lads #perhaps queer coded isnt the correct term for it #thhere's other terms but i cant remember them atm bc i am very sleepy #it is a subtext tho no matter if it was intentional or not #there's lots of queer coded characters in that series imo #not the greatest renditions of queerness whether subtext or otherwise #bc it was made it like. the early 2000s or w/e #but anyway im gonna stop now and. idk do smthn else #this was my one text post of the month see u in like february probably #i say things
