The thing is there is queercoding in Naruto…but the most prominent example is literally portrayed as a predator.

yes, naruto and sasuke are a popular ship, but that is the fandom, the author in no way intended for the readers to interpret them as queer. which is why they’re not an example of queerbaiting or queercoding. however, there is one character in the manga that is written and internationally queercoded, and that is orichimaru, which is the point i’m trying to make.
