The titular bad guy from the 2014 horror movie “The Babadook” has suddenly become a gay icon and the internet can’t get enough of his delightfully evil homosexual ways. Vulture believes the hilariously puzzling phenomenon can originally be traced back to a Tumblr post from October 2016: http://ianstagram.tumblr.com/post/153654338779/crackrockk-ianstagram-chikadee Buzzfeed reported that the craze began in the summer of 2016 when the film was mistakenly listed in the LGBT section of Netflix: 8. the babadook is my favorite lgbt movie pic.twitter.com/dxCtyf9Kib — ana (@bakehadley) May 31, 2017 Teen Vogue claims that the image was actually edited and notes that while the newly out boogeyman-like character first became a sensation months ago on Tumblr, it wasn’t until earlier this month that it really began to take off in tandem with LGBTQ Pride celebrations. No matter what the real backstory is, one thing is certain: people just can’t get enough of gay Babadook. happy pride month from queer icon the babadook pic.twitter.com/f2JxwQbRDd — jacob (@jacobbullards) June 3, 2017 it's been amazing watching the babadook's self-exploration and to finally see him comfortable in his own skin pic.twitter.com/kf1oxh63Ly — tylerbu//y (@tylerfbradley) June 7, 2017 Babadook slander will NOT be tolerated in this house.
