I want to challenge the example of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse taking the rainbow lens trope \\\"to eleven\\\". I feel it is a shoe-horned example that focuses on specific interpretations to justify the queer angle. While I realize that YMMV is open to subjective meaning, the issues used to justify the example should at least be ambiguous in the movie.
The story presents Miles as struggling to find his identity and live up to the expectations being placed on him by his parents, his school, and the Spider-Gang. At no point does the movie show him \\\"ignoring his new abilities\\\", as if he is in denial or internalized hate. He\\\'s actually struggling to understand them in the absence of a competent mentor and the increased pressure of having to destroy the Super-Collider.
Spider-sense predates \\\"gaydar\\\" by several decades so equating the two is a forced similarity not an intentional allusion.
Finally, Miles\\\' father has a rational explanation presented \\\'\\\'in-universe\\\'\\\' for his \\\"hatred\\\" of Spider-Man... as a police officer he finds the vigilante behavior of the hero to be disparaging to hard-work the police do.
In short, I believe the movie has adequately presented Miles as dealing with the personal and social pressures of being \\\"the other\\\". He\\\'s smart which suddenly allows him to go to an exclusive school away from his home neighborhood, he\\\'s artistically talented with a limited means of expression, then he gets Spider-powers which further isolates him from the bulk of the population.
Granted, feeling that one is \\\"the other\\\" is a common experience in queer culture, but it is not exclusive to that culture. As such I feel that the example is essentially \\\"proof-texting\\\" specific issues to justify that the movie fits in RainbowLens even though the story presents solid non-queer reasons behind those issues.
