Better sources

The sources in this article are terrible, most are either unreliable, or not independent, or both.

As noted in the recent AFD, there are better sources that could be used:

Some of those aren't that great (Buzzfeed, for example). We should be using scholarly sources from the field of LGBT studies, not articles that may barely be more than blog posts spouting some writer's opinion. Crossroads -talk- 03:44, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Sissy villain into Queer coding

Both of these articles are very short, and a "sissy villain" is the same exact topic as queer coding. We don't do WP:CFORKs. "Sissy villain" is somehow an even more inflammatory title than "queer coding". The former has an oddly high number of non-English sources, so I wonder if translation from another language Wikipedia may be part of the issue. Crossroads -talk- 04:28, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
