Okay I'm a tad tipsy and I've been mulling the idea over for a while about an anaysis of FNaF's accidental queer themes so here's a quick bulletpoint list:
Mangle and her use of she/him pronouns. Gender 'yes'. Multigender King. Funtime Foxy also having that gender ambiguity is interesting too.
Michael's whole thing of being hollowed out and forced to live in a dead body, hiding in shadows, reads queer to me (very loosly but it still reads).
Like... most things about William. Springbonnie's nonbinaryness, his obsession with Henry, the way he overlaps with the 'transfem serial killer' trope, and he specifically targets children ontop of that. By far the topic I have the most to say on.
Freddy Fazbear and Bonnie the Bunny cannon gay now? Discuss.
Linking those last two points: who's fursonas are those? Hm? Who is the bear and who is the rabbit? Answer me, coward.
Charlie in the books is trans. She's embodying the corpse of a woman who doesn't and has never existed at her father's behest. Bro I did that for 17 years!!!
Point about 'how can a guy who explicitly does not care and does active harm to a community I am a part of stumble into creating something that resonates with its queer themes?' Interesting. Many answers.

I find it so fucking wild whenever a post enters my dash talking about how Steve is mistreated by fans and stripped of his personality. because like. This is a Steve-Stan zone. A Stane zone one might say. I only follow people who care way too much about this funky little dude and (presumably) vice-versa. We are all living in Steve's world actually. anyone else is lucky if they even get an appearance.
