The Cartoons That Made Us Gay: Gargoyles
Added 2022-03-01 23:08:42 +0000 UTCA heads-up: This is not this week’s regular episode. It will be coming later, so hopefully you will be busy until the regular episode goes live.
“The Mirror” (September 11, 1995)
It is technically possible that someone could have watched this show and not realized that it was one of the horniest animated series ever. We think this episode — which has a very fey Puck teaming up with Demona to turn our heroic gargoyles into humans, loincloths still in place — helps demonstrate just how much homoeroticism was going on, both in the minds of viewers and the minds of people
Want to spend time with Goliath? Then listen to the What a Cartoon podcast's take on this very same episode of Gargoyles. (We will assert that ours is at least marginally gayer.)
Read the Polygon article about the extended Gargoyles universe that could have been. Also read about the plans for the live-action movie.
When did English-speakers decided that fairies = gay? Also read about the difference between gargoyles and grotesques. (This show should technically be called Grotesques.)
Goliath : Eliza :: Bonkers : Miranda
Watch a commercial for 1985’s English language dub, Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years.
