#only for that same narrative to deny the existence of any romance repeatedly
Text
i think some folks may need to have the word "queerbaiting" revoked from their vocabulary until they learn what it means. perhaps
#soda offers you a can#i would not make anyone watch bbc sherlock bc im not a monster but that show defines queerbaiting at every turn#two characters having a deep and meaningful relationship is not queerbaiting by itself#it requires the narrative to set them up in a very particular way where you're forced to read them as romantic#only for that same narrative to deny the existence of any romance repeatedly#bbc sherlock deliberately leads the audience to believe there's romantic tension between sherlock and john#from side characters etc repeatedly assuming they are a couple to some Very deliberate scenes#that would immediately be painted as obvious romance if one of them was a woman#however it also insists on the heterosexuality of both john and sherlock by setting the former up with several girlfriends#and turning irene adler into a quirky little crush for sherlock (who also cures her of being a lesbian i guess)#and obviously john gets a wife but she must be killed off so the homosexual tension between john and sherlock can resume#and we can keep guessing if they end up together or not#they won't. but the writing very deliberately lead the audience to believe this#that's like. shit the defines queerbaiting#it's not Real Human People not telling the world they're queer#and it's not two characters having a relationship that's got more depth than a kiddie pool#sorry. new pet peeve unlocked. or old one rediscovered im not sure

Why does JK not smiling mean he got beef w. JIMIN we saw him hanging out with him that same night and relatively recently like damn maybe the other person in the picture was the problem if there even was one did anyone think of that but people so biased they leap for any excuse to downplay that jm and jk love each other they lose the ability to think rationally and the specific type of love is less relevant than the fact that it exist in some form we have literally seen them repeatedly choosing to be together when they didn't have to for multiple years. It makes no sense to push a narrative that they dont like each other when there's ample evidence they think highly of each other and enjoy spending time with one another and no one needs to read romance into anything but to deny that they are even friends is suspicious and obviously not in good faith. I'd be willing to think it's people having a case of the regular Ole "they hate each other and they'll admit it when they breakup" thoughts if any other relationship got picked apart with the same scrutiny as jikook but they don't and we see them hanging out off work enough times that it's safe to say they aren't forced to be in each other's presence I'm really gonna need the people who think they're platonic to just let them be. They're the only ones people ask to constantly put themselves on display to prove something.
Agreed on all counts.
Also, I don't want to throw Bang PD under the bus, but, like, there are two other people in that photo... and hundreds of people not on camera... that could have been upsetting Jungkook. Look, he could have had to fart. He could have remembered he left the stove on. He could just have been tired in that moment. We don't know. We just don't know. Let's not assume "Hates Jimin" is the reason for anything. Literally everyone who knows Jimin gushes about what an angel he is, and that's been consistent for a decade.
