VideoboysaysCube posted... Yeah...the answer implies that gay people are incapable of love.You should probably stop making snap assumptions before reading the full article. She mentions he was gay firstly because the full answer is that he was in love with Grindelwald. Like I know Rowling has chosen to be...that nowadays, but this isn't a case of it. KitKats posted... Shoe horning in a retcon purely to score points It also wasn't really this. Dumbledore being gay didn't have anything to do with the story and she just answered when someone directly asked if he'd ever been in love with someone. This was back in the early 2000s when a gay character in a children's story was insanely progressive and more likely to hurt sales than help them. --- https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

I remember there was a list or something she made of "hints" about it and one of them was literally just swan diving off a rock and swimming. Lol I don't remember that one. Often people cite the close relationship he had with Grindelwald, but it always just felt like one of brothers, not lovers. Also that he's like chronically single, which I get why a lot of gay men with easily lost status/reputation would stay in the closet that way, however Dumbledore was literally the most revered wizard in the world. He could have been having publicized gay orgies and that wouldn't have changed his status in the world. Tyranthraxus posted...

Retroactive Continuity is when new information is added to a story that retroactively affects continuity. It doesnt even have to be something contradictory, but sometimes it can be. Sexuality definitely falls under this, if it is not initially established, as well as any material related to a characters backstory.

Well it isn't in the text.Harry also doesn't shit in the books but we can assume he does. Like I said, Dumbledore being gay was something many readers had already theorized before she confirmed it. My point is that Rowling's a piece of shit for many racist and transphobic reasons, we don't need to make up stuff like claiming she only made Dumbledore gay to be seen as progressive to make her look bad. --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD ...

Literally no one uses it in the way you're talking about.Thats not accurate at all, but Im happy to have helped broaden your horizons on the meaning of what a retcon is. Dumbledore couldve been straight, or gay, bi, pan, ace, demi, or whatever you want. The author later establishing a sexuality retroactively affects the continuity. This most definitely includes new information that was not previously established, particularly in a book series as new information is introduced in later volumes that retroactively affects continuity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroactive_continuity --- her/she ...
