What Makes Disney Villains so Gay?

Disney villains are also liked for the straight audiences! I grew up watching and loving these villains! ❤️

scar with his limp wrist? limp paw?

So:
I love Bette Davis, particularly All About Eve.
I love the Disney Villains, particularly the evil queens.
I not only love opera, but I am an opera composer.
And yet.... I'm totally, completely, helplessly attracted to women.

What do you make of that???

The evil queen is so much hotter than Snow White.

Love your shirt

-Why are you gay?
The evil queen-who says I'm gay?
-You are gay

Andreas Deja, the animator responsible for Jafar and Scar is gay himself.

Omg I NEVER noticed they were representing gay ppl as a way to make gay ppl look like villains
Now it is so clearly obvious. How did I never notice that before

Fascinating. Had no idea, but makes perfect sense.

Why do we love assholes?

Does that include the villian in Die Hard. A fop is not necessarily homosexual, like the Marquis in Rob Roy. Following your video I spent some time thinking about your thesis, and I do see a possible connection with the code etc, but inspiration is not absolutely 100%. Like Loouis Prima as King Louie, Sebastion Cabot as Baghera, and George Sanders as Shere Khan. They are great inspirations, but the characters are different in ways. Also I didn't think Shere Khan was gay either. I never thought any of the villians was gay. Remember the Ken doll disco that had a gold fishnet tank top, the gay community adopted him, yet he wasn't suppose to be gay as he was Barbie's constant beau. Things, symbols, physical movements get taken and applied to groups and create stereotypes all of which are inaccurate and sometimes harsh. I know and have met many gay men and a few lesbians, some coworkers my son's best friend (not his lover) and assorted clients and only a very few had the flamboyant tendencies at all. The rest behave like humans good workers, good friends and just plain folks. What someone does in their own time their own space with a consenting adult is none of my business, with the exception of my wife. The faxt that Pride has adopted the rainbow for instance does not make the rainbow gay. The same applies to villians there orientation is a part of them for sure, but bad and gay aren't symonous.

I want to marry you, Matt!

<history nerd>I wonder if Disney knew or cared that in reality it was "Good King Richard" who was the queer one.</history nerd>

The irony is that Disney's most dangerous bad guy isn't queer coded at all. He's a corrupt coach driver who just happens to own a cursed island and is basically Satan himself.

On a sidenote I predict that this Halloween dark haired women are gonna dress up like Vanessa (Ursula human incarnate)

It's because villains are outcasts and yet fabulous. Gays relate to them because they feel outcasts and want to believe they are fabulous, or want to be fabulous.
Simple.

So villains were awesome because no one else was allowed to be under the Hays code

probably because the gay's where seen as evil back in the day

But hey, Gaston was superstraight 😅

Or they’re just single woman over 30. I think the female villains stem from pure misogyny and ageism. And yes, probably the male ones are ultimately homophobic. I actually love Ursula, though 😅.

Please make how Batman is actually an asshole and the villains aren’t as bad as him. He is a billionaire who buys sports cars and lets costumes because he doesn’t want to build hospitals or schools. Instead, he likes beating up people.

And for the record, people think I’m “cold and unemotional” and I’m not gay. I’m autistic. We’re often vilified as well.

Jone is Scar on pot.

Scar and Hades are my two favorite villains. They are like those two drunk aunts that only show up to the party to smoke make rude jokes judge everyone eat stuff food in their purse then leave.

Even Frollo gives that vibe

Hades looks also so gay 😭

What have I stumbled upon at three in the morning?

What about what's his name from Mulan?!?

Every anime villain is an effiminate male, are you surprised there's homophobia, and every piece of early gay media the homo is a serial killer

It's social engineering,

As a fun fact: Many know where did the inspiration for Ursula in the Lil Mermaid came from, but in the latin spanish dub, there was something else, Javier Pontón, the voice director, just couldn't find an actress that fit what he wanted for Ursula, until he one day saw a performance by an actress and singer, her voice impressed him, it had the evil and androgynous touch he was looking for, and asked her to play the role, to which she didn't accepted initially, until they came to an agreement, that she would be credited with her artistic name, her legal name was Angel Garza, but her artistic name, her real name was Serena Olvido.
She would play the character in all official material for 4 years and would eventually complete her transition. She would pass away in 2008 due to problems derived from heart issues

ursula mightve been my lesbian awakening and why i love her to this day but who knows🤷‍♀

Why are they so gay? Because they where created by Disney. Didn't they recently come out admitting they want to turn all of our kids gay?

I mean.... The head of Disney said all three of her kids are "queer". Which is mathematically impossible. So clearly this company is run by insane people with an agenda to appropriate the gay culture.

WOW I learned so much from this video! And started snapping and everything. This is great. Thank you - this gay loved it!

Ashman was gay and a huge loss for Disney Studios!

A very insightful,amusing post 😊

Little off tangent but I often find myself taking sympathy of the villains unless they do something totally despicable (regardless of any gay elements). . Part of it might be that you are "supposed" to see them as evil and I don't want to be "supposed" to think something I have not found out by my own judgement. I have a few people I reclaimed as being good even if they were pain in the ass or just accused of being bad by others.

This is the very first of your videos that I have had the pleasure of viewing. And I must say, I would like to encourage you to keep this up. There is something very kind, personable, and easy-going, yet very intelligent and just quite wonderful about you that makes it a pleasure to take part in viewing your videos. You are a delight, good work. ❤

"I'm beautiful and I know I'm beautiful" says the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

Susan Sontag also said white people are a cancer.

Scar is also a confirmed bachelor who gets a fabulous musical number.

(Hears Malificent's laugh) "Hey Joker! I think your Mom came by to visit!"

The evil queen wanted to eat snow white’s heart.

I miss these kinds of confident, unabashed bad guys who totally own themselves.

It's the English accent.

You guys are insane, go touch grass you bunch of weirdos. Being eccentric does not equal being gay. I am gay and I find this ridiculous

I watched Robin Hood a bunch of times as a kid like you, mom and I loved doing Prince John impressions

Also I didn't know the reason I was obsessed with the evil queen and Maleficent...

Fine then.
I’ll subscribe. 😊

Disney started off with many of their bad guys being clearly based on Jewish stereotypes. That fell out of fashion after the holocaust and they switched to gay stereotypes. It's a cheap trick to make people hate the bad guy more by playing on existing prejudices.

Richard was gay. According to some family tree I am a decent of John by one his daughters.
