I can’t believe how obviously canonically queer #Joker is, and yet manosphere somehow completely missed this and stole him as their straight anarchist mascot.

I didn’t even know #TheJoker was gay until I got into #Batjokes and was SHOCKED by how this character created in the 1940’s has pretty much been queer af for years and I never even knew.

I was like “what do you MEAN there’s a gay character in a franchise THIS old and THIS popular???” (1/3)

It’s so funny to me too, how Joker was queer-coded for a long time 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 he was a villain. And obviously being queer is an evil thing /s.

But now that being queer is becoming ok in the eyes of society, obviously Joker needs to tone it down. Obviously he was never gay in the first place (“but Harley!”).

He gets straight-washed because 𝘯𝘰𝘸 it’s uncomfortable that this popular character is gay, and we can’t have that! 🙄

But it’s too late. They made this bed now they gotta sleep in it. (2/3)

You cannot take the camp away from this clown. You cannot pretend he was a straight anarchist incel all along. He’s probably the most infamous example of a queer-coded villain. Of all time!

You cannot erase the words you wrote and the panels you drew. It’s too late, he’s OURS! TOONTOWN BELONGS TO THE TOONS! AND YOU CAN PRY HIM FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS 

(3/3) #Batman
