Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
It's definitely not Ho Yay- the definition of that that it's something the fans interpret as gay but is not intended as such by the creators. This was definitely intended to be gay, so its not Ho Yay.
I'm not too familiar with Disney's policy's, so I'm not sure if it qualifies as Getting Crap Past the Radar or not; if more knowledgeable tropers don't chime in here, I recommend you take it to the discussion page of the work.
Shouldn't be edit warring, just to start.
Sure, same sex couples are more plausible now (Gravity Falls got away with it after all), but if they're relegating it to a Freeze-Frame Bonus then Radar is a good fit.

Any given "radar" (censorship policy) could be about anything. The question is not whether the policy makes valid judgements about what is right and wrong, what is crap and what is not crap. The question is whether the artist gets something into the work that its censors normally prohibit.

There is a special forum thread for discussing whether an example counts as Getting Crap Past the Radar and it's probably better to ask there. It's under "Projects: Long Term/Perpetual".
Unless the mere mention of homosexuality is censored in the genre/rating involved, then it cannot be GCPTR, period. Neither is it Ho Yay if it's blatantly on the screen as opposed to in subtext.

I've been in an edit war on Star Vs. The Forces of Evil's pages for the past couple of days now (both the Radar page and the Recap page for the episode in question) over whether or not this counts as Getting Crap Past the Radar.
There's an episode where the main characters go on a date to a concert together. At one point in the episode, everyone else attending the concert each kisses their own date (when the song starts to get romantic). If you pause and look around, you'll see several same-sex couples.
In my personal opinion, this is more Ho Yay than Getting Crap Past the Radar, since there is nothing "crap" about it: it's just gay love. The other guy argues that because this is a Disney cartoon and Disney has been known to not want to show that type of thing in the past, it means that the show got away with it.
Who's right?
