Kutheni uninzi lweeDisney Villains zivakala 'ziGay'

Ngokukhawuleza, igama uninzi lwabalinganiswa besini esingamadoda abangamaDisney kangangoko unakho.

Musa ukucinga nzulu kakhulu, kuba ngumbuzo okhohlisayo: Impendulo ixhomekeke kwindlela oyichaza ngayo 'isitabane.' Ukuba ngo-gay, uthetha ukuba ngumntu owabelana ngesondo kunye / okanye onomdla kwabanye abantu, ke kuye kwakho abafana abathandanayo abathandanayo kwiifilimu zeDisney. (Ukuthetha ngokuhloniphekileyo kuya ku Ikhutshiwe Frozen , Lowo umbono wakhe ongathandekiyo ophuma ngaphandle wawudlalwa kangangokuba abantu abaninzi bathi ayiyiyo inyani.)

Kodwa ukuba 'ngoongqingili' uthetha ukunyibilika, ubuzala, abahlali abangaphantsi kwesandla somntu othanda iminqwazi emikhulu, baninzi abanokukhetha kubo, njengoKing Candy ( Ukonakala-It Ralph ), Jafar ( Aladdin ), Irhuluneli uRatcliffe ( IPocahontas IHadesi ( IHercules , Ubunzima ( INgonyama yeNgonyama ), okanye uShere Khan ( Incwadi yeJungle ). Kwiminyaka ye-90s, iifilimu ezininzi kwi-'Disney Renaissance 'zibonisa abantu abathandanayo abathandanayo nabasetyhini UAnita bryant njengomcebisi woyilo.

Kulula ukuthatha iipotots kwiDisney kuba yeyona nto ekujolise kuyo kakhulu ebaleni. Kodwa inyani kukuba, xa kufikwa kubantwana abaqhelekileyo be-animated & apos; Imiboniso bhanyabhanya, i-crypto-homo villain iye yaba ligorha kumashumi eminyaka. Kwakhe uxwebhu olutsha Ngaba ndivakala ngathi ndinguGay? umbhali, umenzi wefilimu, kunye nokukhala kwezitabane eMelika uDavid Thorpe kubandakanya ukunqunyulwa okuninzi kwezinye zezinto ezininzi ezibulala abantu kwiifilimu zoopopayi, iDisney nakwezinye izinto. Kwabo bangakhange baphinde baphinde babuyele ezi bhanyabhanya, kunokuba yinto engamangalisiyo ukubona uninzi lwabantu abalibalekileyo- njengoNjingalwazi Ratigan, Umcuphi omkhulu weMpuku -I-vamp kunye ne-swish enedemoni ngaphaya kwescreen.

'Iifilimu zifuna abenzi bobubi,' utshilo uTrpe kudliwanondlebe ngomnxeba, 'kwaye ixesha elide kakhulu, indoda eyomeleleyo, enobunkunkqele, eyindoda i villain. '

Iifilimu zoopopayi azenzanga le trope, iTrope iyenza icace IDG? Endaweni yokuba bayizobe ngokuthe ngqo kwii-villains zaseHollywood Laura kunye neapos; s UWaldo Lydecker (odlalwa nguClifton Webb) kunye Konke malunga noEva & apos; s UAddison DeWitt (uGeorge Sanders). USanders, enyanisweni, uya kuqhubeka athethe noShere Khan, mhlawumbi umntu wokuqala owonileyo kumdlalo bhanyabhanya. Into ebangela umdla kukuba, nangona uWebb wayenomdla wobufanasini, uSanders wayengumntu othembekileyo owayeziphethe kakubi ngaxa lithile wayetshate ngesondo ibhombu uZsa Zsa Gabor .

Ke yintoni eyenza ukuba amazwi abo abe 'sisandi esithandanayo?' Lo ngomnye wemibuzo ephambili kwi IDG? Ngokuka-Ron Smyth, uprofesa ovela kwizifundo zengqondo kunye neelwimi kwiYunivesithi yaseToronto, impendulo ayisiyiyo ngqo njengoko unokulindela. Ngo-1999, uSmyth kunye noogxa bakhe ababini baqala ukufunda ilizwi lesini , ngokurekhoda amadoda athandana namanye nathe tye, bayathetha, emva koko babe nabaphulaphuli baqikelela ubuni bezithethi. Esona siphumo sikhulu? I-Gaydar ayikho. Abaphulaphuli baqikelela ngokuchanekileyo kwiipesenti ezingama-62 kuphela zamatyala, ezingachukumisanga kwaphela kubalo lwamanani. Izitabane azibanga namathuba okuqikelela ngokuchanekileyo, kodwa bonke abaphulaphuli babenethuba lokuchonga ngokuchanekileyo amadoda athe tye ngamazwi abo kunamadoda athandana namanye.

Ezinye izinto ezimangalisayo ezifunyenweyo zibandakanya inyani yokuba i-pitch 'ayibonisanga kungqamana nayo nantoni na okanye ngubani ovakala ngathi li-gay. Endaweni yokuba abaphulaphuli babeqwalasele izinto ezifundwayo zeelwimi ezinje ngokuzalwa S & apos; s, ukucacisa ngokucacileyo, amazwi aphefumlayo, kunye nokuthetha ekupheleni kwezivakalisi, kubonisa ukuba iimpawu zezwi esizidibanisa nobungqingili azizalwanga, kodwa endaweni yoko safunda besebancinci kakhulu, mhlawumbi kanye njengoko sifumana ulwimi. USmyth wayechaze ukuba 'amakhwenkwe anaba bantu bangamadoda angacacanga ahamba kakhulu kwintetho yabasetyhini, egqibela ngokuthathwa njengezitabane ezivakalayo, nokuba azikho.

Rhoqo siyazibona ezi ntlobo 'zamakhwenkwe amantombazana' ayingozi (nangona ndiyakuqinisekisa, sikhona), ke kwenzeka njani ukuba sibe ngabantu abanjalo kwifilimu? 'Eyona nto iphambili kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya emininzi ngumtshato, utshilo uThorpe. 'Amadoda angamaGay eme ngaphandle kwaloo ajenda-okanye ubuncinci ayenzile kwiveki ephelileyo.' Abantu abangamaGay babonwa 'njengesoyikiso kumgaqo wokuziphatha,' kwaye loo ngozi yokomfuziselo yenziwa kwiifilimu ezininzi.

Oku akuthethi ukuba akukho ndawo kwaye akukho nkqubela phambili kule minyaka ingamashumi idlulileyo, nkqu nakwiimuvi zoopopayi zabantwana. Kukho konke ukulunga, UKumkani Candy ukusuka Ukonakala-It Ralph yinto ethile ye-anachronism , usisi sociopath wokugqibela emi ukuba uyathanda. Kule mihla, umlinganiswa 'ongowesini esinye' uhlala engoyena mhlobo usenyongweni, isiqabu se-comic, okanye inxenye yethambeka leendlela ezahlukeneyo ezidlala ukhuphelo kumlingisi ophambili kunye nohambo lokuzifumanisa kunye nokuthandana kwabantu besini esahlukileyo.

Ngapha koko ngoku, ukungacacanga kwesini kuqhelekile. I-Thorpe yalatha ku-King Julian, i-light-in-the-loafers lemur evela Madagaska , njengophawu lwalo mlinganiswa. Ezi 'pansies' zihlekisayo zibuyela umva zisiya kwiifilimu ezingathethiyo, apho zanceda khona ukuseka indoda ekhokelayo kunye ne-apos; s ubudoda ngombala wabo ohlekisayo. Kodwa 'emva kokuba ikhowudi yeHays [iseti yemigangatho yolondolozo yemiboniso bhanyabhanya] ingene ngeminyaka yee-1930, utshilo uThrpe, iHollywood yaba' ngummangaliso ngakumbi. ' Ngoku, bekungekho & apos; ngokwaneleyo ukuba uhlekise ngesondo ngokungaqhelekanga okanye ukusetyenziswa kweziyobisi, kwafuneka ukuba uphathwe njengobubi kwaye abalinganiswa ngokwabo ekugqibeleni bahlwaywe, ngokuqhelekileyo ngokufa.

Ngombulelo, phantse inkulungwane kamva, thina & apos; ekugqibeleni siyibuyisele ekubeni ibe nenkqubela phambili njengee-1920s. Nangona kunjalo njengoko abantwana bokwenyani bephuma ngaphambili nangaphambili, oogxa babo abakwiiscreen, iimodeli, amaqhawe, kunye ne villains ziye zahlala zivaliwe ngokuzinzileyo, zikhona kuphela kwiingcebiso, i-innuendo, kunye ne-stereotype. (Ubuncinci, kunjalo eMelika. I-Anime inesiko elide labalinganiswa abathandana besini esinye, kwanezibini ezitshatileyo, kwinkqubo eyenzelwe abantwana.)

Kutshanje, nangona kunjalo, lo mqobo wokugqibela uqalile ukuqhekeka, ubukhulu becala enkosi kwinkampani enye: iLika Studios. Ngo-2012 kunye neeapos Iparanorman , Babonisa i-jock e-gay egama linguMitch, kwaye kwi Iibhokisi zeTrolls , umbalisi wabo ukhankanya ngokuthe ngqo zonke iintlobo zeentsapho, kubandakanya ezoootata ababini okanye oomama ababini. Kudliwanondlebe ngo-2013 , U-CEO u-Laika u-Travis Knight ucacisile, 'Iindidi zeemovie esizenzayo kufuneka zingqinelane neenqobo zethu ... Ngamanye amaxesha oko kuthetha ukuzibeka phaya kancinci.'

Ngokwam, ndiyathemba ukuba siza kubona abakhohlakeleyo abangakumbi besini esinye-ngabo bodwa isitabane isitabane. Amaqhawe angamaGay ngokunjalo, kunye namacala asecaleni kunye namadoda athe tye kunye neenxalenye ezithile, nazo. Ndiyathemba ukuba ipanits ayizukunyamalala ngenxa yokuba engumbono wohlobo oluthile, kodwa ndiyathemba ukuba uyavunyelwa ukuba abe ngaphezulu nje uhlobo oluthile. Kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba amadoda athandana namanye athande ukuba ngaphezulu kwe-pansies kuphela. Kodwa kuya kuthatha isibindi, abenzi beefilimu abaqhutywa sisazela kunye nezitudiyo ukuze sifike khona.

Ngaba ndivakala ngathi ndinguGay? ngoku ihlolwa kwiziko le-IFC eNew York nase kwikhebula kwiimfuno. It ivula kwiithiyetha ezikhethiweyo kwilizwe liphela ngoJulayi 17.
