Basically: "These characters aren't black or gay, but we say they're written in a way where they're obviously meant to be interpreted in that way!"
Generally bullshit, especially in Current Year, but occasionally has some validity where the author/artist may have been doing an homage or making a point of some kind. But generally it's just insecure retards trying to claim something as "literally me."
Don't forget "I'm not imaginative enough to come up with unique races, ethnicities or characters, so this is a stereotypical ghetto black, but as a lizard"

Gotcha. Thanks!
Like when people say X-men was a “coded” discussion of the different approaches to the civil rights movement (prof x = mlk, magneto = malcolm x)
Stan Lee debunked that and ppl keep pushing it.
The modern writers are all in for that bullshit.
