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
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"
