even if taylor swift is gay, then why are u acting like she's BOTh the most enlightened and clever gay poet in the world who is always sending you subliminal messaging based on elaborate queer cultural codes AND a closet queer with internalised homophobia so intense that she will never use her multi-million dollar platform for taking any stance on queer issues????

I think the battle is long since lost on what the “-coded” suffix means, but I (old movie guy specifically invested in queer coding) seem to be unable to let go of how annoying I find the fuzzy popular use of the term. This is probably a flaw in my character.

Coding is intentional, it’s a way of communicating indirectly with the audience through a shared language of signs. That’s why it’s called coding, because it’s communicating in code. It isn’t when a thing reminds you of another thing.

love the genre of discourse that’s like “the world used to be [thing it never was] but now society is [I’m over thirty]”

Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!

I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.
