Why lgbt people are mad about Le Fou in case it wasn’t obvious
The first gay Disney character is literally named The Fool
He’s unrequitedly in love with a straight man
A straight man who bullies and abuses him
Le Fou will 99% likely NOT get a happy ending
He’s being played by someone known to be straight
His sexuality is basically a joke
His sexuality is likely to be the butt of a joke the entire movie
We already know the character will be the butt of the joke even if his sexuality itself isn’t
His entire role in the movie is to be evil and stupid comic relief and boost Gaston’s self-esteem
He’s described as “confused”
Queercoding villains and Disney go together like peanut butter and jelly
Disney is patting itself on the back for all of this
His character description is stereotypical
Le Fou being gay for Gaston is already something of a cultural joke
He’s the only gay person in a love story, he will end up alone and evil
People have been saying how you could improve the story by making it gay for years and of all the ideas this is the worst possible option for picking a gay character
We coulda had lesbian Beast
Kids will have this as their first gay Disney character
For some kids this will be their first gay character period
It will be their ONLY gay Disney character
They chose to make a shot for shot remake of the animated movie with the most whitebread actors and the only thing they want to change up is making the evil fool gay
Disney could get away with any kind of lgbt character because they are a monolith yet they choose this
