JAGUARS ACH KEV MAXEN OUT AS GAY HISTORIC ANNOUNCEMENT

The character did not achieve notable prence mem until Febary 20th, 2022, when Twter[4] er @PkRangerLB falsely wrote that Kld appears the film right after the first gay kiss, starg blankly for four sends. Rise of Skywalker do have one perfect moment, ’s that right after they show the first gay kiss Star Wars (for 2 sends) they immediately cut to this owng slug monster for twice as long.

On Febary 21, 2022, Tumblr er @butchdot reposted a tweet, a seemgly nocuo joke about the brevy of the gay kiss the most recent Star Wars movie.

The meme self is remarkably simple form: a picture—taken om a tweet by @PkRangerLB—of a “owng slug monster” that appears for “twice as long” as the gay kiss that follows. An image adorned wh the live slug reactn typilly featur two characters of the same genr engaged some actn that uld be nsted as homoerotic: fightg, lookg each other the ey, huggg, or (rarely) actually gaze of the slug signals a homoerotic act is takg place. His owng, displeased face signals that the queer moment is taboo, transgrsive—eher bee the characters themselv are not queer their rpective media anchis or merely bee of the slug’s homophobia.

Yet, the sheer ubiquy of the meme would seem to dite that the potentially homoerotic moments popular culture are anythg but taboo. How else uld someone have thought of the potential homoeroticism of Will Smh slappg Chris Rock to protect the reputatn of his wife as the patriarchal protector of the hoehold other than through a meme signed to intify queer moments media? What is the signifince of the live slug reactn meme’s foc on the transgrsive character of queerns and homoeroticism?

In his say “Language, Socializatn, and Silence Gay Adolcence, ” William Leap, profsor of anthropology at Amerin Universy, argu that this procs of learng and enterg to a disurse is a fg feature of the queer g-of-age experience. For him, fdg queer-d relatnships or homoerotic msag popular media “provis rehearsal for enunters wh gay-centered msag social settgs.

The creatn of the meme necsat “mak[g] sense of gay-centered msag seemgly heteronormative texts” through intifyg and namg moments where gay-centered msag e to light. Intifyg the queerns of Harley Qun and Poison Ivy (two female Batman villas) kissg a recent ic, as @pixitrikback’s post, is much more straightforward than spottg the homoerotic tensn between Lego Batman and Lego Joker The Lego Batman Movie @northpen’s take on the meme. Likewise, the circulatn of the slug meme and s populary help ers build what Leap lls “a personal repertoire of gay mentary, ” enablg them to teract wh other members of their onle muny while exprsg their own queerns and signalg to other ers.

Sadly, the live slug reactn meme is purely discursive and will not make you gay. Leap not that a mon feature among the gay men he terviewed for his say is “the nsistent prence of the first-person active voice” as “they scribe personal stggl to take charge of their gay socializatn procs self as self-iated.

So, teractg wh the slug and siar mem migat some of the risks associated wh talkg about queerns a public settg while enablg ers to “fe gay inty to their own satisfactn and to articulate succsfully wh other ponents of adolcent experience, ” as Leap argu. ” In this way, the slug meme entic members of the queer digal muny to thk about their sexual sir, as well as the munitn of those sir, a specific way: one that proliferat certa kds of heterogeno sexuali but still rerc the existg regime of sexual terplay between the proliferatn of certa forms of non-normative sexualy and the renrg unthkable of other forms of non-normative sexualy n be seen the difference between gay and lbian versns of the live slug meme. Male characters that are subject of the slug’s reactn and not explicly queer their media of orig are ught a variety of potentially homoerotic acts: characters are picted lockg ey, wrtlg, huggg, and htg each other.

The eeg act of makg the meme is self nstraed by a subtle system of ntrol, a productive act that revts a disurse that lims what forms of sexualy are and how the slug meme enacts the disciplary nstrats is up for bate wh this queer digal muny: @jterjamz labels the slug as a homophobe, who looks at queer moments wh disgt; @bnic-jedi, revealg another still om Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker pictg our good iend the slug huggg a male si character, claims that the slug is gay, and so his look is one of approval or intifitn; @strawberry-crodile stat that this termacy is their favore thg about the meme; @jackklemybeloved attempts to sistep the nversatn about the potential bigotry of the slug and stead sist that the slug’s disappotment is Disney’s shty reprentatn of queerns havg a two-send kiss.

So, rather than the slug’s gaze judgg a certa actn as disgtg or praiseworthy, a cheap modifitn of reprentatn, or a moment of queer intifitn, the slug merely intifi queerns, wh humor rived om the accuracy of his gaydar and how hard he stras to exercise .

To quote Tumblr er @fufaazu, “i n’t fire the [slug] thg, ’s not on the payroll, so: if you ARE a homosexual unr our employ. )Early on Cal Ktis’ sophomore adventure the new Star Wars gamg sequel Jedi Survivor, our hero journeys to the pla Koboh, where he ns across a muny of prospectors workg and livg on the arid world.
