New Disney Text to Speech Voices on TikTok Won’t Say Gay, Lesbian or Queer

TikTok Disney Voices

Disney fans were delighted when text-to-speech character voices were introduced to TikTok, until they noticed some strange restrictions on LGBT+ terms. The text-to-speech voices, including characters Rocket Racoon (Guardians of the Galaxy), C-3PO (Star Wars) and Stitch (friend of Lilo), were added to TikTok on Disney Plus Day on Friday (12 November). But TikTok users soon noticed that, unlike all other voices on the app, the Disney characters refused to say the words “queer”, “lesbian” and “gay”. If included in the text, the characters will just skip the word, for example when one TikTok user made various voices say “gay … Read more

TV: Why Does Bewitched Feel So Queer?

Bewitched

Why does Bewitched feel so queer? It was about a straight couple, after all, and never had a single explicitly LGBTQ+ character. And yet the sitcom, which ran from the mid-60s to the early 70s, has an intensely queer feeling. It somehow comes off as queer without ever actually coming out. How is that possible? Behold, the power of subtext! Bewitched, which was recently referenced (obliquely) on the show WandaVision, was about a witch named Samantha who marries a mortal named Darren, and the couple decides to keep her powers a secret. The show debuted pre-Stonewall, at a time when … Read more

MOVIES: This 1960’s Horror Film Put Queerness Up Front

The Haunting

In the 1960s, people weren’t generally accustomed to seeing LGBT+ representation on screen. The Haunting, for many, changed that. The film, released in 1963, has gone down in history as one of the greatest horror films ever made. Based on the acclaimed novel The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, it follows a group of people who descend on a supposedly haunted house for a supernatural experiment. Ultimately, The Haunting was only a modest success at the box office, with some cinema-goers disappointed by a film that relies more on atmosphere than jump scares. Despite this, The Haunting has … Read more
