I like how when Xie Lian first came to Ghost City, the ghosts just thought he was vaguely intriguing because Chengzhu doesn't normally bring people home. But once they saw that he landed that second date they burst into a rendition of Be Our Guest.

Things that hurt less than one (1) bitch slap from Xie Lian:
Having your face used as a tunnel bore by an evil being of near incomprehensible power
Being cut clean in half by a martial god's spiritual weapon
Having your insides dragging along the cold stone floors as you're being hauled forward by your hair
Being boiled alive in a sizzling pool of salted human sludge

People in this fandom will really look at The Fool, Patience, Lacey, Carson, Sedric, Hest, Davvie, Lecter, Kennit, Ash/Spark, and yes, even Fitz himself, and still have the gall to call it queer bait.
These characters are explicitly queer, their actions impact the narrative, they are well written, and their identities are treated with respect. That is the best possible queer representation you could ask for in any story.
I've seen people on tumblr basing the likelihood of if they read this series on whether or not it's "actually gay" and I'm here to tell you that it is. There are queer characters. There are queer protagonists. And no matter what you see people in the fandom say, Robin Hobb wrote some amazing queer representation in a genre that rarely sees it at all.
TLDR;
Queer bait = disrespectful marketing ploy that exploits queer audiences
Queer bait ≠ "my two favorite characters never have sex"
