Yeah, "queerbaiting" to me sounds like all those shows from the 90s/00s that would have two same-sex characters be overly friendly with each other and they would get tons of slash fics about them on fanfiction sites lol I think the logic might be it was acceptable back then because it was either that or nothing, but these days full LGBTQ+ romances in media is accepted so the past "queerbaiting" isn't relevant anymore. Or something. Just spitballin'. Sadly, many TV networks haven't progressed enough and are still touchy on going all out with such things. But for those without those restrictions or an "independent" artist (of whatever nature) has much less reason to not just embrace it if they want to and top toeing around it does feel like trying to pander without "upsetting the money". I still think they should stop being afraid of upsetting backwards bigots as they are going to need to be dragged forwards at some point. No idea if Billie's matter is any of this or not though mind, as not seen it to actually judge. --- https://imgur.com/BGbZK <cite>Funkydog posted [p:954817738] in Billie Eil...
