QUEERG UNCLE NASEEM: RAMY'S RADILLY PROBLEMATIC GAY CHARACTER
The ia of the world spltg two when Ramy di also remd me of the ath of a character (a gay love tert that died due to betrayal to be specific) the book "She Who beme the Sun, " so that also shifted how I viewed Ramy and Rob's relatnship. Gays n see themselv a vaguely suggtive but unspoken relatnship while straights (maly mal) n still stomach what they're readg. I know, but homosexualy was taboo the 1800's.
Gays n see themselv a vaguely suggtive but unspoken relat... So we would have to start wh a prumably gay character, thst them to a vague relatnship, and then be left wonrg as to hetero or queer stat the 's mon l, but not anythg I've read. The goal of queerbag is to suggt a character is gay whout nfirmg so you don't alienate your largely hetero dience.
There are eply awkward enunters between them but also moments of homosocial the show progrs, Ramy ultimately emerg as more of an antagonist than a protagonist, and there is a form of narcissism at play that is remiscent of Woody Allen's work. And while there are idsyncrasi that are unique to the muni, much of what is reprented on Ramy is qutsentially Amerin more generally, and other s, much more was paful to watch the scene of Ramy's father, Faro (Amer Waked), nont Ramy for havg an affair wh his father's iend's wife, but then rolve that tense nontatn wh an exprsn of relief: "Well, at least you are not gay! " This remd me of the breathtakg film My Brother The Devil about an Egyptian-Brish fay where a brother uld not envisn anythg worse than his brother beg gay.
