Personality test
Which Disney Villain Are You?
We have a thing or two in common with some Disney villains – albeit to a much lesser extent… Take our test and find out which character you identify with the most.
Most of us would certainly rather be a Disney princess or a hero. But whether we like it or not, we also have some things in common with some villains – even if it’s just where we live or our choice of pet. In our test you will find out which character might be most similar to you.
Find out which Disney villain you are
Please keep in mind that this test is intended to be fun and we don’t assume that your personality completely matches these dark characters. You will most likely have nothing to do with the general ideas and ideologies. But in some ways this villain may suit you.
Disney villains are often eccentric and often use a certain trait that is then portrayed in a very extreme way. For example, narcissism, perfectionism or egoism. This is then increased and most of the villains from the Disney universe are unempathetic and only out for their own benefit. Nevertheless, many of the strong personalities such as Gaston from “Beauty and the Beast” or Cruella from “101 Dalmatians” are indispensable. And one or two of us probably also have their: their favorite villain.
Queer coding in the Disney world
Disney has often been accused of basing its villains on queer characters. This is called “queercoding”. It means that characters are drawn as queer through the conscious use of characteristics, but the gender identity and/or sexual orientation of the characters is never resolved. Most Disney villains fall into this category – they don’t fit the heteronormative idea in terms of their look or behavior. They stand out, are eye-catching, different and: evil. Accordingly, queer characters were often symbolically associated with something bad and Disney was often criticized for this.
The sea witch Ursula, for example, was inspired by the American drag queen “Divine”. And villains like Scar from “The Lion King”, Hades from “Hercules” or Captain Hook from “Peter Pan” were also portrayed differently compared to other characters of their gender. Both in terms of their bodies and sometimes their style of clothing or their behavior. It was not uncommon for stereotypes of the queer community to be used to differentiate them from the rest of the characters.
