Can someone explain to me what “black coded” or “queer coded” means? I guess I’m a just getting older and way out of touch. A young cousin told me I was stuck in the 80s when she saw the stuff I was watching and I told her I can live with that
To add to this if you don't know: 2 male characters interact or show any kind of friendship? Gay dudes. Instantly. Twitter will not bow to this. It's what turns me off of hero academia. ANY positive, male bonding gets turned into gay ships. It's even outside of anime, just look at what they try and claim for Frodo and Sam, honestly the best friendship in fiction if you ask me. And just like that those are now gay icons, ignore the fact the author was a devout Christian lol.

It's their special phrase for "they don't say it directly, but XXXX makes it completely obvious that they are."
You can also call it "the yaoi-shipping fangirl excuse."
Yaoi is shipping two male characters right?
