I call this set of practices and affects, for which there is no specific name yet, male affidamento and consider it to function as a device of desubjectivation and depatriarchalization, since it enables the process by which men abandon passive obedience to pre-established patriarchal norms and risk losing their ontologically secure position as valid social subjects, even if it leads them to the uncomfortable boundary between the acceptable and the abject. Therefore, I propose that male affidamento is a form of the queer art of failure of the patriarchal male, since it resignifies the inadequacy to the normalizing prescriptions of subjectivity as an opportunity to find freer forms of being a man. I also propose that this type of popular fiction offers the public the opportunity to critically rethink their everyday experience, thus distancing myself from the position of cultural criticism according to which it is impossible to find queer proposals in products manufactured for mass consumption by multinational companies.   En la película británica El discurso del rey (2010), la amistad entre el rey George VI y el fonoaudiólogo Lionel Logue, que trató su extrema tartamudez, es representada como un conjunto de prácticas y afectos inusuales entre varones, los cuales habilitan líneas de fuga de la masculinidad hegemónica patriarcal y burguesa. Llamo affidamento masculino a ese conjunto de prácticas y afectos para el cual aún no hay nombre específico, y considero que funciona como un dispositivo de desujeción y despatriarcalización, pues permite el proceso por el cual los varones abandonan la obediencia pasiva a las normas patriarcales preestablecidas y se arriesgan a perder su posición ontológicamente segura como sujetos sociales válidos, aunque estas los lleven hacia el incómodo límite entre lo aceptable y lo abyecto. Por ende, propongo que el affidamento masculino es una forma del arte queer del fracaso del varón patriarcal, pues resignifica la inadecuación a las prescripciones normalizadoras de la subjetividad como una oportunidad para encontrar formas más libres de ser hombres. Propongo también que este tipo de ficciones populares ofrecen al público la ocasión de repensar críticamente sus realidades cotidianas, distanciándome de la posición de la crítica cultural según la cual es imposible encontrar propuestas queer en productos fabricados por empresas multinacionales para el consumo masivo.
