Real queerbaiting almost always has to do with an individual character’s identity rather than any romantic pairings but y’all aren’t ready to have that conversation.
#‘this show is such queerbait!’ *proceeds to talk about how two dudes didn’t kiss each other*#more often than not it’s 2 dudes the creators have said multiple times do not have romantic feelings for eachother#yet the fans always outright ignore that and act like they’ve been tricked & deceived#when like… no.. they straight up told you this gay ship wasn’t happening#& you just refused to believe them lmao#now if you wanna say ‘this was a missed opportunity to have a queer ship in this show’ then 90% of the time I’ll agree w you!#but there’s a massive difference between#‘I think this would’ve been a good chance to have a queer pairing & im bummed they didn’t take it’#and#‘I was intentionally queerbaited & these writers hate gay people’#and most of you guys are just. Unable to understand that#for example:#lokius not being canon was not qb#them butchering Loki’s genderfluidity & not acknowledging his bisexuality after specifically using it in their advertising?#that absolutely was.#destiel wasn’t qb#a missed opportunity to explore angels’ gender & sexuality? yes 100%.#johnlock wasn’t qb.#a missed opportunity to explore Sherlock’s sexuality? Definitely#yall get on my nerves screaming queerbait & crucifying creators as homophobes#just because your shitty no-chemistry-having toxic ass mlm ships didn’t go canon#after you delulu-ed & conspiracy theory-ed yourselves into thinking they would 😒#queerbaiting#fandom wank#anti destiel#anti johnlock#Loki#homophobia in fandom#johnlock#destiel
