Is scar gay

Hahn noted that Scar said so in the movie: "When it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool." Again, this is an example of potential gay coding, wherein masculinity is seen as being reserved for straight men, but not those within the queer community, exemplified in this case by Scar.

Scar is probably the most queer coded Disney villain out of all the villains from the renaissance. His animator, Andreas Deja, is also an openly gay man, which I’d imagine had influence. I feel like most of Scar’s traits that can be interpreted as queer are more a result of the toxic ideas that society has regarding masculinity.
