With all the buzz surrounding Wall-E, Radar Online decided to come up with a rating of how gay some of film’s robots are.
The Homometer ranks them from 0 for asexual to 10 for flaming.
This was what was written about C3P0 and R2D2:
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Star Wars
SEXUALITY: For closeted robots lacking upstanding role models in the media, C-3PO was a shining (and shiny) pioneer, and, as this magazine previously noted in its exploration of gayface: “The fussy drone’s permanently agog eyes suggest a certain feyness.”
As for R2? The dependable handy-droid might come off as genderless, but we detect in the high-pitched beeps a certain fondness for his gold-plated friend.
HOMOMETER RATING: 9
Wall-E only gets a rating of 4.
