    A very interesting part about Richard is the fact that crossdressing is a fairly consistent part of his character. If a plan involves someone having to dress up as an attractive woman, Richard is almost always the one who does it, and it never really goes down the usual transphobic route. It usually just works

      Like that one time in the episode where Darwin becomes a dictator and overthrows the town, and they have to distract a guard to get into the complex, and Richard dresses up as an attractive woman, only to just throw a fire hydrant at the guard. And when asked why he had to dress up as a woman, he just says “so I can do this” and literally spins so his skirt can go spinny. You know, this show was a lot stranger than I remember, and a lot more queer.

    There's also the part in one episode where Gumball tries to do cheerleading, and is upset. His mother thinks it's because he has to wear a skirt, but he tells her that he's upset because "what if I'm not as good as the other girls".

    One thing is, Richard has already shown himself to be a drag fan in another episode, if I'm not mistaken it's the episode in which Darwin becomes a dictator. And no one in his family questions that he's in drag, I mean, they question whether it was necessary to knock out the guard, and he just does a pirouette!

  • @lilpetz500
    @lilpetz500 Před 2 měsíci +1045

    Fun fact; Gumball has a deadname, but it's more so because he managed to absolutely humiliate himself with his birth name, with remembering it causing him to have an identity crisis, and make the name into a toxicly masculine alter ego, complete with Richard in a dress and makeup again.
    Idk, could be a gender story?

    Gumball isn't perfect, but I love how there is a lot of gender-norm breaking, and anytime Gumball or Darwin are made fun of for "feminine" things they either clap back or at the very least the show makes it clear that those teasing them are in the wrong. One of Gumball and Darwin's favourite games when they were around 5 or 6 was princess. There mom is also the money maker in the family, loves among other things karate, and sometimes hulks out and beats people up. One of my favourite moments from the dad is immediately after gumball is born he holds him to his chest while Nicole rests and feeds Gumball by taping a cartoon of milk with a straw to his chest, there are many ways he could have fed him or not at all and just wait for Nicole to wake up, but he decided to do it in a way that was closest to natural for a new born baby.

      I just want to add that Nikole uses Judo more than Karate, with her using a lot of throws, momentum and various dodges, with some wing chun or another such art included since her strikes are more punches and even strikes with knees, whilst karate is about blocks and kicks.
      but really she's using MMA since she fluidly combines the best of all worlds.

      It seemed to be more so personality change as result of family enforcement, no so much genderdysphoria not being allowed to be atleast helped.
      Though I see how it can be seen as both, It's about I'd more so individualism in accepting your differences, as well unlike her family she prefers to be out her shell or locked personality.
      Which can be viewed gay in the closet, Individual with a Gender they'd like to move into or a person restricted for their own self due to Fear of failure.(personal one)
      It is mainly challeneging preconcived notions that don't really work. espically with those you care about.

    There actually is a sort of trans/gay story with the gender-fuckery fashion diva character Leslie (the flower)! There's a lot of exploration of gender roles and gender identity all hidden in the background (occasionally he's the focus but it's usually about his or Gumball's ego).
    Also in an early season episode, he's in a "girl's only" treehouse talking about boyfriends (they were still figuring out the characters so his gender wasn't defined but it still counts).

    There was also an episode where gumball is trying to impress his crush penny by trying out for the cheerleading team. His mom shows up and he's crying, Nicole assumes its because he's embarrassed about wearing a skirt, but he immediately shuts that idea down and instead starts crying about how the leotard is unflattering, and is worried that the other girls might laugh at him for being terrible at cheerleading. Also him and Darwin dressing as girls to make a doll commercial for fun, Darwin strutting around in heels, and the MANY other times Richard has dressed in drag. Gumball is pretty lax with gender roles and gender presentation.

    Gumball is a pretty nonbinary name ngl. And it's his chosen name as well.
    Also, the parents are a gender role flip. Nicole is the breadwinner that is scary and Richard is the stay at home parent who trys to make everyone feel better. They also say screw conformity pretty often. The current series finale is about not conforming to social norms.

      If the creators wanted to make an episode that touched on queer topics (albeit semi-directly) and affirmed it, they're likely pull from stuff that was popular back in their own youth that was already associated with queer culture.

    Finally, my time has come. I love this show so much, I think the reason why it works so well is because the fuckery is taken to such an extent that the most comfortable aren't safe, and the show is overall very inclusive. The dress episode is "eh, it's alright" in my opinion, but they significantly improved their writing afterwards. It's pretty obvious how far they really wanted to go with the inclusion of funny queer topics and punchlines which are never looked down upon, Richard is a crossdressing queen, Leslie is very likely a gay fashion icon, Gumball I think is canonically pansexual, the episodes with the Hot Dog Guy were purposefully written with gay undertones, Gumball is also obsessed with Rob, his nemesis, which also has gay undertones (there's a whole episode in which Gumball acts like he's being dumped by Rob after he had started searching for a better "guy to hate", the writers also have this ongoing meta joke regarding Gumball and Darwin being in a brolationship but some people took it far and they even included Gumwin ships, it's hysterical. The show is chaos.
    So far I remember: Richard crossdresses in the episode where Darwin freaks out over safety and creates a totalitarian regime in which nothing dangerous can happen (censorship, proofing, etc), Richard dresses as a "hot elf" for a roleplaying session (?), Richard crossdresses to become "man mom" in the episode where Gumball's alternate identity takes over because he found out about his real name (Zack) and is having an internal fight over it, and he also has an entire episode dedicated to him where he crossdresses alongside other crossdressing men who wanna hang out together in drag. There is likely something else that I am forgetting.

    Under the surface, Gumball is a very LGBT+ positive show. There are a lot of gags where characters will imply that they're attracted to someone of the same gender, but it never feels like the punchline is just "gay people funny."
    There's also the iconic joke where love is being described, showing a cute animation of a man and a woman experiencing signs of attraction, before they run past each other into the arms of another man and another woman. The show then proclaims there are no rules to love, so they dance instead.
