like yea ok i jokingly say the karate kid is a queer coming of age movie mainly bc i’m gay and its my favourite childhood movie but daniel larusso being the antithesis of the hypermasculinity his antagonists possess and use against him is something that can be so personal; we see daniel look at these displays of masculine aggression and choose the opposite every single time

idk i could speak on this more but it’ll just become a rambling rant
i just think about this a lot
especially in terms of how daniel is so different compared to cobra kai
bc he acknowledges that that stereotypical aggressive masculinity isn’t for him and isn’t who he is
anyway when u have a character that opposes that type of masculinity
u can read queerness into it
and i shall
