Okay so recently I’ve been watching shows from the early 2000s and the queercoding is so fucking high. For example, I recently watched Malcolm in the Middle. I mainly talking about Malcolms older brother Reese. The dude married a man at one point and he also brought up that it was cool to have two dads cause some kid had two dads. Oh he also almost married a girl too. Dude’s a bicon or somethin’. I could definitely be overanalyzing and overthinking this, but it’s just a thought. As an aroace I need other peeps’ thoughts because I’m just goin’ off of what I saw in the show.

"Do you think we're siblings in every universe?"
words are from the world's greatest actor by milk in the microwave
Actual poetry
reese malcolminthemiddle. he’s a bully. he’s a master chef. he canonically possesses no sense of empathy. he writes poetry. he ran away and joined the army. he immediately deserted the army. he’s been straight married. he’s been gay married. he’s godless. he’s christian. he had frosted tips.
Been rewatching Malcolm in the Middle and something I realized now as an adult was both Francis’ & Malcolm’s mommy issues.
Their issues manifest differently. Francis just complains about Lois and openly spites her.
Malcolm does the same but unfortunately goes down the path where his character seems to be attracted to girls and women much older than him.
I had a feeling in the back of my head that Malcolm’s mommy issues would manifest that way, in a reverse stereotypical daddy issues situation I see in a lot of media as well. However, it’s still really disappointing.
In all fairness, it doesn’t help that the audience grows up with Malcolm and that his actor looks younger than his character’s age.
