What is 'gayface?
Gayface is the term ed to scribe a straight actor performg a riture of a gay person by playg to harmful trop. Admtedly, there sperately needs to be a different name for this practice, as equatg gayface to the unfivably disrpectful "Blackface" is like parg appl to 400 years of systemic racism, but for the time beg, that's the term we have.

I went to my send viewg of "The Black Phone" wh the sole tentn of tryg to clock any and all stanc of Ethan Hawke's performance that uld have been perceived, read, or d as gay. Before I list them all out, please unrstand that the attribut are not herently or exclively "gay, " bee there is no one way to be, act, look, prent, or exist as gay, and to imply otherwise is homophobic. Believg the aspects make the Grabber a gay riture is so unfathomably harmful hontly mak me physilly ill.
In a different genre and wh a lser creative team, I would pletely unrstand why someone would e to this ncln, but bee Derrickson and Cargill aren't homophobic monsters, all of the supposed gayface attribut are explaed the text of "The Black Phone. " The Grabber is so clearly portrayed as a hebephiliac serial killer, not a gay man, and nflatg the two giv legimate power to the opprsive talkg pots of those who are scerely tryg to extermate the existence of queer people real life. The text disprov the gayface claims.
