Is Tintin Gay?







Although Tintin is a fictional character, some question Tintin's masculinity. Tintin is asexual; he has no desire for sex. But Tintin lives in a homocentric. world. Tin Tin has no intimate female friends, and his close relationship with Captain Haddock is questionable. They are more than friends. Archibald Haddock is an archetypal sailor, also, an alcoholic and suffering from periodical anosognosia. Both Tin Tin and Haddock often live in Marlinspike Hall and travel together. Captain Haddock showed no interest in women. When opera singer Bianca Castafiore came to meet him, Haddock took every measure to run away from her. Tin Tin has no family name, no family info about his parents, and no siblings. Was he excommunicated by his family members following his sexual orientation? Tin Tin has a young Chinese friend, Chang, and Tin Tin goes an-extra mile to save his dear friend. They were very close to each other. Considering these facts, can we conclude that Tin Tin had an LGBT orientation? Hergé grew up in an anti-gay society, and probably he had to conceal Tintin's sexual orientation.
