What is it with these people being joyless sacks and trying to politicize everything and trying to make everyone feel bad about themselves?
Also, calling a character "bisexual" or "gay" just because they have rather odd mannerisms is kinda sexist and discriminatory in of itself. I like how these people don't see their own hypocrisy.

As wrong as this person is even if their character assumptions were right- Scar is far from effeminate or gay?? How are they pulling this shit out of their ass? There was literally a scene cut where he borderline tries to rape Nala.

I think they get it from Wikipedia. Articles like Ursula, Scar and other Disney villains/characters used to have them listed as "LGBTQIA Icons" (not sure if they still do but I wouldn't be surprised) and the references/citations they used to verify this as valid in articles was some shitty generic top 10 lists on gay sites.

That article is retarded and I feel dumber for trying to read through it. Also I'm pretty sure that animated effeminate male villains are an extreme minority, but why bother with actual research?

As I remember The Lion King, everything is fine with the "lighter-skinned" lions running the pride lands, but as soon as they hand leadership over to the previously subjugated "black" lion, he gave all of his unqualified buddies positions of power, and things quickly deteriorated to shit to the point where even the grass (crops) stopped growing.
I feel like I've heard that story somewhere else before, but I kind of tuned out around the part where the black lion and his buddies started taking the lighter-skinned lion's homes without compensating them.

Seriously though, it's a shame that people on the other side of the isle don't typically buy into *this* particular kind of bullshit the same way. I already have a "The lion King is totally an allegory for apartheid," article halfway written in my head.

(You probably could have formatted that better)... But yeah, that was kind of where I was going with that... That, and post-colonial Africa in general.

I read about a third of this before my irritation broke my comprehension. If you're going to waste precious life hours accusing the most SJW company on earth of racism and homophobia, I don't want to know what shade of neon your hair is or how bad you smell.

I'm shocked an SJW would ever use a pseudonym. If anything, oversharing seems to be their default mode, especially if they've got books or comics or a patreon to push.

Analyzing Lion King is fucking gay and shit, but all I could think of was, "Did the fucker even listen to the sequel's 'We Are One'?" Well they did bring it up at the end (just by saying it's a good song--like yes, but there's multiple reasons it is), but then they said, "And I did love how Kiara tried to steer Simba away from becoming a bigot like Mufasa."
I choked on my laughter. Like what the fuck, it was a father being human (for a lion) in learning how to become a better parent and example for his child while being a leader for a whole group. (Hence why Scar was kicked out, he didn't have good things to bring to the pride that didn't benefit him which is how he led the hyenas. But nah, being "bi" was his only crime which is why he got neglected as a cub that the writer pulled directly out of their ass.) Simba was just trying to get out of Mufasa's shadow and be his own leader and father figure for his cub. Didn't they hear just how proud Mufasa was of his son at the end of the film? If he was truly a bigot, he'd have used his godlike powers to strike down the pride lands in his anger for daaaring to unite the prides together.
And if they ever want to bring up gay representation in Lion King in the future, they should just talk about Timon and Pumbaa. We all know those two are totally porking each other off-screen.

Some of these morons that read too much into kid shit need to take a lesson from the film: Hakuna Matata. Stop fucking fretting over stupid shit that doesn't matter.

The thing about hyenas is they'll happily gang up on a pride of lions to steal their food. Did you see how many more hyenas there were than lions? Mufasa's pride had maybe twenty lions, the Elephant Graveyard had like 100 hyenas. Mufasa was just trying to keep his family from starving.

Yes, The Lion King is super racist....
Or Disney just took Hamlet and acted it out with animals and didn't put any more thought to it beyond that.
Ya know. Whichever.

That's a bit like saying Cheech & Chong and the Three Stooges were porking. Now if you want actual gay reps in Lion King to use in case you get into an argument, Nathan Lane (Timon's VA) was gay and was part of an anti-AIDS activist health group (and I always find it odd how no one ever counts the actors as reps) and I recall the Lion King cartoon series from the 90s implied Zazu was gay too. Also, I always find it odd how beloved Scar is as an "LGBTQIABBQ cartoon icon" rather than Timon's VA despite that Scar's VA said some pretty triggering things in the past. I mean, you'd think people who write articles like this would be more triggered by that rather than non-existent racism in a movie about african animals.
