Also I hate the whole “this character is XYZ-coded” argument anyway because it’s almost always based on laughably offensive stereotypes. “This character has a gigantic nose and big lips! There’s no other explanation but that they are black-coded!” Fucking yikes. How is that any different than the black caricatures from 30s cartoons?

Remember when tumblr declared that the gorillas in the movie “Sing!” were black-coded, thereby tacitly calling black people apes?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

The only type of legit “coding” is when it’s done intentionally by the creator(s) to fly under the radar with “does this remind you of anything”.
