Sudden realization: while I don’t believe they can be, the idea that canonically adults characters can be “minor coded” implies that canonically minor characters can be “adult coded”, making it completely okay for them to bang the other adults 🤔🤔🤔
I wish we could all go back to saying “x is implied to be a y” or “the subtext is that x is a y” instead of “x is y-coded”.
The “coded” language is all just button pushing meant to shut down argument as if the subject were not up for debate.
