Tyranthraxus 06/09/21 2:07:23 PM #18:	Y'all asking what queerbaiting is could try reading the article. First of all, what is queerbaiting? "In media, queerbaiting often manifests in the form of a coded romance or other type of representation that alludes to being LGBTQ, but never actually confirms or depicts that representation," Rich Ferraro, chief communications officer at GLAAD, the watchdog for fair and accurate LGBTQ media representation, tells Yahoo Life about the idea, sometimes called "gaybaiting." "We often see it from brands or talent who are trying to market products or projects to the community and have a goal not to create change, but to profit from LGBTQ dollars." Further, he adds, "For a community that has historically been underrepresented in media and continues to lack enough visibility in film, television, advertising and more, queerbaiting has been called out time and again by our community and flies in the face of how to authentically and meaningfully engage with LGBTQ people." --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:954815266] in Billie Eil...

Robot2600 06/09/21 4:28:44 PM #44:	Fang and Vanille from FF13 is a great example of queerbating. They are coded as lesbian, but it's never explicitly mentioned, leading people to argue they aren't gay for each other, when of course they are. It's trying to market to LGBTQ+ while not "offending" the straights. --- Marvel presents Marvel Marvel's The Marvels <cite>Robot2600 posted [p:954820156] in Billie Eil...

So I have no idea what is happening now but I remember for a while the show was hinting at sexual tension between Supergirl and Lex Luther's sister I don't think Supergirl intentionally did it. Say what you will about CW, they wouldn't be afraid to make Supergirl gay if they wanted to. I think it's just that those two actresses have natural chemistry whereas all of the guys they try to put with Supergirl just don't. Which is funny since she ended up marrying one of those guys IRL. The best example of queerbaiting IMO is Sherlock. There's near-constant joking about Sherlock and John being gay for each other. There's even a scene where its version of Irene Adler talks about her and John's attraction to Sherlock. He refutes it by saying he's not gay. She replies, "Well, I am, but here we are." Supernatural also kind of did it with Castiel and Dean. I personally don't count it though. IMO, the romantic attraction was purely onesided on Castiel's side. Dean was straight. If Castiel had picked Linda Novak instead of Jimmy as a vessel, they'd have definitely started fucking in like season 7 though. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] In fairness to Xena, I think they definitely wanted Xena and Gabrielle to be gay, but it was the 90s. --- https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT So?

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'. Idk with fictional characters it could be a way for thr creators to let the fans decide for themselves. Like poison in SF. Capcom has flip flopped back and forth on her but at one time iirc they said they where gonna let everyone just decide for themself if she was trans or not. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
