The Positive Effect of Queer Coding Lara Croft

We are back again with another video essay, this time on the positive effect of queer coding Lara Croft!
Here, I contextualize you on what is queer coding and why it was more prominent in the past, and I explain why I consider Lara to be queer coded and why is it such a positive thing, for us, as a queer audience.
