Queerbaiting really? I had to google it to make sure what it means. Can’t two male characters be friends with out you horny “shippers” cumming in your pants?
From the canon standpoint there is no indication that Roadhog and Junkrat are gay. NONE! They are barely friends if even that. Don’t get me wrong I fucking loooove Junkrat and the old pig face and I love to fantasize them as best friends.
This also might be hard to believe but as a disgusting cis, straight, “dudebro” I wouldn’t mind if they are gay. I even like to watch queer art of them and any OW hero because I think it’s super cute. Unlike you people I am not obsessed with my fantasy, in my case Junkrat and Roadhog being bff’s, because I know it’s fantasy and it’s ALL IN MY HEAD. I don’t perceive my fantasies as reality.
This is the problems with people who ship the shit out of every character. You people take your ships and think they are real or at least demand them to be real and often get really aggressive and defensive about them. Also being obsessed with shipping is super cringy but that’s just my take on it. You guys are being quite ridiculous.
Again I have nothing against queer stuff and I know you won’t believe a dudebro like me but I know my queer and trans friends do believe me. I wouldn’t mind if the junkers were gay but god damn there has been absolute zero evidence of queerbaiting. It’s ALL in your heads. You see stuff that you want to see. Roadhog works for Junkrat and can barely stand him. Of course there might be something deeper there but it’s silly to go so far to think them as a couple or something like that. A good example of queerbaiting would be the two police officers from Gravity Falls.
Hope I didn’t trigger you too much and I hope you don’t take me as a hater. I love your art a lot but I think this whole queerbait thing is silly as hell. It’s ok to ship characters but obsessing over them can’t be healthy. Also I know games and movies have a lot of traditional straight pairings and if the pair is gay they usually are very attractive individuals and I believe all this must be getting boring by know.
