No, Victor wasn't gay.
Victor was an egomaniacal psychopath who surrounded himself with people who were dependent on him, in order to support his ego, and he related to others only superficially.
To most people, 'darling' would indicate a close relationship, whereas to victor it is simply a word that he uses instead of a persons name in order to avoid relating to that person. -

Are you kidding?! He clearly has attraction towards Jennie (well who wouldn't?). In the scene where he approached her about Axel it definitely seemed like he wasn't there just for questioning.
He says to Jennie, as she is being kidnapped, "I think you should be more worried about what we are going to do to you"
With Axel they plan on just killing him. But with Jennie it is obvious that he has other intentions first. The fact that she is taken to the house alive is a dead giveaway. -

I dunno it really could be either way lol but either way it's irrelevant. Listening to Victor speak and his mannerisms he could well be gay. It's been a while since I watched the movie but did he maybe have a little earring in as well? Not too sure but he could certainly be gay.
That's how they get you! They're under the goddamn ground! -

Why do you think they would choose to suggest that this man is gay???<<
You really had to offer an explanation for why, Victor never fell for Jenny. Why, he would ever be able to sacrifice and/or murder Jenny.
Jenny was beautiful. His lack of interest, had to be, for other reasons.
Now, ironically, I think most of the audience never notices any of this. But it's interesting that, the Director paid attention to it.
For Americans, Victor being a 'Bad Guy' was sufficient explanation for any and everything. But the Director offered another 'Hinted Explanation'. -

i won't say he is or he isn't, but it doesn't matter to me since it really didn't effect the story line at all. i thought that he kinda had a thing for jenny for what my opinion is worth, but it really doesn't matter to me since it did not effect the main story line at all.

In german this was dubbed as
"Liebling"
which for me has more of a "sweetheart"-meaning than a more neutral, superficial "darling".
But in the earlier scene where Victor is on the phone he uses
"Liebling"
for the person he's speaking to, too, therefore Victor seems to have several "love interests" -

Does that bother you? Nice how the movie stereotyped Serge, the 'token', 'lets laugh at the 'gay' guy', because he is being flamboyant and is funny to watch.
Did anyone notice this as well??
Did you notice how Axel and Mikey, seemed quite close and intimate with each other. Must've been past lovers; but would people notice this hint as a 'gay' undertone, or just swept under the rug. Yes, people will see what they want to see, even if there is subtle intention behind it.

There was a theory on this board about how Axel was indeed gay. Yes, the hints of his affection toward Mikey, how it seems Jenny was throwing herself at him at times ("I'm gonna take a shower") and he doesn't bat an eye, etc. But who knows really. Maybe the writers did this intentionally to make it ambiguous.
