What’s the line between queer coding and stereotype?
Imho. queer coding means "can be read as queer" (but doesn't have to be) while a stereotype would be a queer person displaying stereotypical attributes.
I mean... those are bad stereotypes, the overwhelming number of gay people I have ever met do not express most of those attributes, they mainly exist because they were used to vilify queer people during the times of the Hayes Code and because when TV wasn't allowed to show queerness, theater still was, so queer media became dominated by the theatrical.
