hi I watched a video today where the guy said he called everything queerbaiting so I'm gonna day it again. Queerbaiting is a specific marketing strategy to imply queerness to pull in money from queer viewers, while never following through so as not to alienate the conservative viewers. It is not a lack of representation where you think it would make sense to have some or poorly done representation or whatever it is you're calling queerbaiting this week. Words have meaning for the love of all that is holy.

#He also seemed to take popular fanon as having a canon base? Urbosa is not 'lightly inferred to be a lesbian'#that's just popular headcanon and doesn't really have a canon justification unless my aroace ass missed something #“In fact any allusions about lesbian relations among the gerudo are so scant that I can't even call it queerbaiting”#What Are You On About #how are you drawing the conclusion you are drawing there how is that even CLOSE to queerbaiting #“Y'all know by now I'll say anything is queerbaiting”#Sir that is not a good I that word has a meaning why are we using it to mean. Whatever the hell it's supposed to mean here #It was a pretty good video essay otherwise tho
