The Babadook has been crowned the new gay icon.
The critically acclaimed horror film was accidentally placed in Netflix’s LGBT category back in October. Netflix’s seemingly minor error was revived for Pride month and the internet decided it made perfect sense.

“The Babadook” is an Australian film that follows a widowed mother and her six-year-old son as they are haunted by the mysterious monster, The Babadook, from the children’s book, “Mr. Babadook.” The monster is meant to symbolize the mother’s grief over losing her husband but social media decided the mistake was the ultimate meme.
Babadook slander will NOT be tolerated in this house. Cinematic masterpiece AND gay icon. Not the ally we wanted but the ally we deserved. pic.twitter.com/iRHyzDT067

The Babadook is a relatable character
– embodiment of depression
– lives for free in a basement
– well dressed in a top hat
