Were there signs that Mr. Ratburn was gay from the start of the show? Like little subtle clues and references that hinted towards it. I don't remember any. Did they originally write him as gay?Or was this a "Dumbledore is gay" situation where the writers wrote it into existence and just kind of threw it in there, retconning the story to be that he was gay all along?
>>155126883His sister made him gay.
>>155126883It's entirely believable tbf
>>155126883Realistically no. You could argue there were “hints” like him being shown to be single and living alone, but so could a straight bachelor. Some anons here think you need a character to be extremely flamboyant otherwise it’s a “pushed agenda” but realistically gay and straight men aren’t going to act that different. Especially when he’s shown being a teacher 99% of the time. Like what you think he’s going to share who he’s hooking up with with his students?
>>155127272explain why he wouldn't
>>155127657He pays strange men to wee on him.
I always thought he was fruity
>>155127272> but realistically gay and straight men aren’t going to act that different.Gay men are fixated on screwing over others. Thats why they traditionally pissed other men off, since they’ll sabotage proper competition.You saw that all the time from /co/ artists in the mid 10s, they would laugh and goon about screwing over the competition until they lost most of their jobs because they gave up on proper competition so the field suffered.Gays also get off on social abuse like using industry gossip to screw over young men.
>>155127272>>155128960Forgot to add that “straight” men in their social groups tend to be similar due to their influence, but they’re also pathetic by traditional male standards, hence rejecting gender roles so heavily on Tumblr in the mid 10s.
>>155126945Fun fact, the more older sisters a male rat has, the more likely they are to be gay. There’s been studies about this and everything. Just want to make sure real fast, Ratburn IS a rat, correct? This isn’t a Squidward the Octopus or Falco the Pheasant situation, right?
>>155126883dumbledore has been gay for a long time, the uk had a law banning characters being gay in material for children. also david yates said jk rowling said dumbledore was gay while making one of the movies because one of the scripts was going to have him mention an old lovehttps://lithub.com/how-britains-1980s-anti-gay-laws-impacted-a-generation-of-young-lgbtq-readers/https://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/books/rowling-outs-hogwarts-headmaster-20071021-ge63ns.html>Rowling told the audience that while working on the planned sixth Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, she spotted a reference in the script to a girl who once was of interest to Dumbledore. A note was duly passed to director David Yates, revealing the truth about her character.
>>155126883He was a male teacher and never once tried to molest Muffy.
>>155129320rowling is nuts and has added weird shit to the canon after the fact (like apparenty some shit about wizards crapping on the floor), but the thing about dumbledoor being gay does work with what we see in the books
>>155129438idk if it was weird as shit, i miss the old pottermore website and seeing the fun facts alongside the interactive games and scenesi wish there'd be a pottermore for every franchise i'm interested in
>>155126883maybe he wasn't out of the closet yet. especially not to his students.
>>155129378Why would he molest the worst girl though? Especially when Fern, who’s nice, quiet, and definitely knows how to keep a secret, is right there?
he really wanted boy heads
Mr rat touched me bum
The episode where he molests Arthur makes a lot more sense in hindsight
The wedding was just a scheme to get cake.
>>155130122The kinky fisting scene was a bit drawn out imo
>>155129629Because Muffy actually shows the goods.
>>155130529No
which Arthur character would you fuck
>>155131055Thora reed all day
>>155129438>but the thing about dumbledoor being gay does work with what we see in the booksHow? There's never anything overtly gay about his conduct.
>>155126883>ARE YOU HAVING CAAYKE!?https://youtu.be/jvEgApesBWk?is=Tx2XbDMPMn9Jtb7R
>>155126883he was just drawn that way>retconning the storyArthur doesn't have a story the way you mean it
>>155126883I watched until a season or 2 before this. No signs. It's like they just decided to randomly throw woke nuggets in there towards the end.
>>155126945Would.
>>155129378That manufactured fear that male teachers would be molesters was just a cover so FEMALE teachers could molest students, free of male co-workers (who have more morals than women) who would tell on them. They never thought the KIDS would tell on them, though.
This character is VERY gay, even more so than Ratburn.
>>155131084>There's never anything overtly gay about his conduct.I guess someone could have missed the signs since they didn’t come right out and say it, but if you use simple logic, it was pretty obvious: Magic is gay and he was one of the powerful wizards in the setting, therefore he had to be one of the gayest characters in the setting.
>>155126883Perv.
>>155127272>Like what you think he’s going to share who he’s hooking up with with his students?He invited his students to his wedding. Not the parents, the students.He absolutely would.
Several of your teachers were probably gay and you had no idea because you were a literal child.
>>155132101You are 100% correct.
>>155126883There were signs. The several gallons of semen sloshing around in his gut, for instance.
>>155133685My speech therapist growing up was gay, and my councilor was a lesbian.
>>155131055I'd fuck Jane, DW, and Molly at once.
>>155126883Watch the opening theme song and the child's reaction in the pool makes sense now.
>>155131055Leah or the blind girl
>>155126883"Ratburn" is slang for prolapsed anus
>>155128960>>155128981You're brown.
