An addendum to this video: not anything that contradicts what I say in this vid, but just two things that also give more context - Andreas Deja, the animator who designed Gaston who is also openly gay, has said that he based Gaston's physique on men he saw at a West Hollywood gym - The model for Gaston's animation (and a background painter for the movie) was Greg Drolette, a gay man ...But anyway, who's your fav Disney villain?

I definitely agree, this type of hyper masculinity is something that would have been expressed by those who bullied me growing up. But masculinity is a complicated thing that I think has historically been both empowering and oppressive for LGBTQ people and I’ve also known people who were homophobic bullies who ended up coming out later. Similarly, a lot of LGBTQ masculinity finds solace in archetypes and aesthetics that are not usually the most welcoming to all LGBTQ people. And when they intersect with LGBTQ experience (like with trade), I think that’s interesting to look at and why Gaston’s queercoding is so interesting to me

LeFou dancing with anouther man for two seconds. Yes, it was heavily implied that LeFou had a crush/romantic feelings for Gaston but i read into it like 'if you didn't know, you wouldn't know." Seriously Disney. if you are going to hype up a moment in a movie...i want to see something much, much more. i really expected LeFou to marry anouther man by the end of the movie.

Gaston really is a well written character. The motivation for his villainy is so nuanced, especially when viewed in this light. He might actually be my favorite character in Beauty and the Beast now, whereas when I was younger it was the beast or Belle. The beast hurts openly - he literally becomes his darkness for all to see - but Gaston isn't even aware he's hurting or hurting others. He deliberately lives on the shallow surface refusing to see his own depths/darkness/subconscious. Truly unaware of his drives. Villiany - to me - is always about why the villian is the way they are, typically rooted in pain they refuse to acknowledge and/or can't escape. I always identify with the villian because that calls to me. I love a good villain because I think they need it more than the happy shiny characters who get their happily ever after.

I really hoped the live action would explore and make explicit Gaston’s queer coding. I think it would be cool to have LaFou and Gaston’s journey parallel Belle and Adam. Maybe Gaston’s fighting so hard for the status quo, and against the beast stems from internalized homophobia, a conflicted part of himself. LaFou reflects the truth back at him, which makes him uncomfortable. I also thought Gaston shouldn’t die. Put LaFou, and the beast on the ledge at the end. Forcing Gaston to choose what’s more important; slaying the beast (fear/hate), or saving his friend (love).

I partly think Gaston is overlooked as a villain because he was a hunter and wanted to get married and have 6 or 7 sons. I think most don't see Gaston as a villain until he learns of the Beast. I love the Gaston song and in the live action one.... I honestly believe Gaston knew how Lefou felt about him, Gaston even leans into that a bit kind of holding Lefou's face (well his chin) and calling him his dearest friend when trying to get Lefou to cover for him about leaving Maurice in the woods.

“I think queer people having agency over their own narratives is more important than the exact ways in which they do it” I agree with this so much. I swear queer writers often get far more scrutiny placed on them over how they represent queer characters than non queer writers do. I’d rather have queer stories and queer characters from queer people with some questionable elements than none at all because avoiding it entirely is deemed more profitable.

Whenever people say Gaston is straight purely because of a surface level reading of his character makes me incredibly frustrated. I think people who conflate Gaston's motivation to marry Belle as being emotionally, sexually or romantically attracted to her is missing the point of his villainy especially in his objectification of her. He ONLY wants to be with Belle because he only sees her as a prize to be won, prey to be tamed and something to be owned. The fact he has three busty women who openly lust after him, yet he picks the only unavailable and uninterested option adds a lot to a queer coded reading of his character in my opinion. He is a character that is permeated in queer culture and I really love this video exploring those aspects of him even if he is, ostensibly, a cis white able bodied man with a lot of social capital and privilege in his small town. Gay men definitely navigate this weird line between toxic masculinity and overt homophobia, and often can hurt other marginalised groups especially with how other aspects can intersect. Loved this video btw! My favourite Disney Villain is definitely a tie between Ursula and Maleficent.

You always manage to capture my Disney Nostalgia TM in a way that I needed to see it when I was little as a closeted queer child, and it’s really lovely to have it into adulthood. I like these more bite sized analyses too. Tom of Finland and the Leather community is the first thing I think of when I think of “trade.” He’s enough of a dreamboat for heterosexual cis women and cis men at the same time. And let’s be honest, Gaston is in a lot of Queer erotica just as a queer person. It’s almost full circle from Ashmans 80s gay male fantasy to how he’s expressed in online queer erotic a. I’m just not counting down the days for true well rounded out queer representation from this media monopoly company. As long as their share holders and CEOs are white het cis men, it won’t happen. And I’m not holding my breath.

Even though it's a villain song, it's been close to my heart since I was a kid because it's a celebration of masculinity/maleness for its own sake, without a primary relationship to womanhood... which, for trans men of any stripe, but esp. gay ones, is a balm for the damage inflicted by the combined forces of conservatives (who want us to be women) and theoretically-progressives (who.... usually also want us to be women) (even if that's not explicit, they usually believe that we Owe Women for.....

oh jeez! Just what we/ the LGBT community doesn't need is more negative representation, this time indirectly by Gaston?! IDC if it's subtly referenced or not, I'm tired of all this, and the flaming gay characters in media don't help much either. I'm at the point where I almost don't wanna see Disney dipicting us at all, and if Hollywood is gonna persist with the negative tropes I'd rather have the independant film distributions depicting us anyway.

Gaston has so much chest hair, that if we planted a single tree for every strand of hair on his chest, we could restore the Amazon to its former glory.

For some reason this video gave me the idea of Disney Villain Songs with unnecessary censorship Example "..AND EVERY LAST INCH OF ME'S COVERED WITH ***********"

I read the title as "Disney's Greatest Villain Song"... What a surprise
@Art-zp1qg3 жыл бұрын
Beauty and the beast was never one of my favorites so I never really watched it that often, so when I saw the title and thumbnail I thought “that makes no sense, his whole thing is that he wants the girl” I guess I’ll see why I’m wrong I suppose.

(Note I do not speak for all of the queer identities mentioned this is a joke, the ace part is literally just me speaking for myself) Disney: ah yes, we’ll make the villains so obviously gay that the kids will hate them! Hehehe The lesbians: YES URSALA THROW IT BACK- The gays: I’m not a furry but Scar do be hitting different 👀 The aces: Hades my man- The Demi’s: Yzma…You meme…I love you-

I could see Gaston as gay or straight. Gay and in denial or so oblivious . Straight and still a slime. Would explain why he went after the one girl who didn't want him

I got to sleep so I'm just going to guess this: It's a gay song because he's in love with himself, lol. (For real, your videos are pretty good)
