A condition that is used to plainly and openly show to everyone that someone is, in fact, not gay. Often used in movies or TV shows where male protagonists might be considered gay if there wasn't a scene explicitly showing his heterosexuality, thereby providing him with a case of the notgays to ease viewers and let them know that they are not watching a show with a homosexual character. First popularized by Harry Plinkett of RedLetterMedia in his review of Star Trek (2009).
