#ALL of the main characters are 100% explicitly queer of causing the harm of queerbaiting

[overwhelmed-frog]

also we do know that queerbaiting and shipbaiting are not the same… right? right??? a show that has an entirely explicitly canonically queer ensemble cast isn’t queerbaiting just because a queer ship doesn’t end up together. we can be disappointed without misusing a term that refers to a specific phenomenon that does not apply here. also while we’re at it, just because a character hasn’t identified themselves as gay, bi, pan, etc in those words doesn’t mean they don’t count as canonically queer. not everyone uses labels, I thought we knew this. if they have talked about past relationships/sex with people of the same gender and explicitly had gay sex in canon NUMEROUS times or literally have been GAY MARRIED, they’re not suddenly not queer just because they’ve never specifically said the words “I’m bisexual” or whatever
