#I hope you realise you’re one of the reasons newfound queer people trying to discover themselves can’t find a safe space to do so

Nothing confuses me more than people who say George and Dream queerbait because it’s such an odd thought that people look at these two men who have said countless times they’re not dating and think ‘wow can’t believe they’re tricking people into thinking they’re dating 😔’

Let’s start with Dream. Dream has said that he identifies as unlabelled in terms of his sexuality (specified late 2021). He thinks his sexuality is fluid and he doesn’t want people putting a label on it. He has said he finds it healthy that he has a flirty relationship with his friends but is not dating any of them, and has specifically said he’s not dating George and has no plans to.

Now George, George said he never really thought about his sexuality but guesses he’s straight (specified early 2020). He has had a flirty relationship with all of his friends, not just Dream. He is exactly the same with Sapnap and if you look at old videos then George is the exact same with his old friends too. People think he plays it up but it’s literally how he’s always been and you can find clips from when he was 16 of that.

They have both been completely candid about their sexualities, although they really shouldn’t have to, especially George who was put on the spot live on stream. They have also been completely candid about the fact they aren’t dating. Fans choose to ship them despite this and if they feel let down about dnf not being real then that’s their own problem. George and Dream allow the shipping for the same reason they are okay with people using they/them pronouns for them (spec 2021): they know a lot of young lgbt+ people could create a safe space for themselves through it.

Also they’re real people, they’re not TV show characters written to bring audiences in with the chance of a m/m relationship just for it to not come about. They are real and they have been truthful about it all.
