Something something there’s a Reason why “classic” Disney villains have the same gender as the hero of the movie.
The formula is literally:
A. Older, flamboyant man preys on younger, masculine, and demonstrably heterosexual male hero.
OR
B. Older, “ugly”, female widow/spinster preys on younger, traditionally feminine, and demonstrably heterosexual female hero.
Hell, Maleficent is LITERALLY a spinster who lures in a young woman she is obsessed with
S2g when any Twst fan talks abt the queer-coding issue Disney has with their villains it’s always to gargle Disney balls. I cannot begin to explain to y’all how making VILLAINS stereotypical depictions of GAY PEOPLE isn’t “progressive” and was done MALICIOUSLY. This is simple math.
#for specific examples see: Maleficent and Aurora#Hades and Hercules#the Evil Queen and Snow White#Jafar and Aladdin (if someone brings up the sexualization of Jasmine to refute this I s2g)#Ursula and Ariel#Scar and Simba#Queen of Hearts and Alice#Captain Hook and Peter Pan#Lady Tremaine and Cinderella#Cruella De Vil and her ‘friendship’ with the Dalmatians’ female owner#Shere Khan and Mowgli#SOME don’t fit Perfectly into the two examples but are still very much meant to represent stereotypes of gay people
