unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

[melanqueerly]

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

[phinarei]

Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.

By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.

There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.

That's queerbaiting.

Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.

The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.

Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.

I've collected (almost) all of my OFMD fanart in one post. I love this show so much and am so happy when someone still likes old fanart posts 😭😭😭😭 Our fandom is still alive

hey so i dont think im ever gonna be normal about adam feeling constantly pressurized to submit gender norms - becoming obsessed with the idea of becoming someone else aka a "true man" like he thinks his father wanted, feeling ashamed for being weak and small as a child yet still trying to talk his way through conflict rather than fight despite being told multiple times it wont work. i dont think im ever gonna be normal about them having boys dont cry, a song where a boy is unable to escape those internalized societal pressures as well as toxic masculinity - play twice during the highly emotional points of his story. im not ever gonna be normal about adams father telling him he never wanted him to be someone different, how he was a sweet boy and he only wanted him to be strong and prepared for the world around him. i am never, ever going to be normal again actually
