[Image ID: Text from Google search for "Queerbaiting" reading: Queerbaiting is a marketing technique for fiction and entertainment in which creators hint at, but do not depict, same-sex romance or other LGBTQ+ representation. The purpose of this method is to attract a queer or straight ally audience with the suggestion or possibility of relationships or characters that appeal to them. Wikipedia /End ID] 

real people being partially closeted or ambiguous about their own sexuality while making Gay Art is not queerbaiting

Stephanie Beatriz talking about being very conscious about choosing queer roles to play because she doesn’t want to have bad portrayals of her community out there.

Also, she feels very lucky now people reach her to play queer roles, like Vivienne came to her with the Vaggie role.

one of the funniest things when it comes to the majority of movies and tv shows (or any piece of media) is that 2 characters who are the same gender can have chemistry and sexual tension that are stronger than the strongest avenger and they will always canonically be “just platonic friends”, but a female character and a male character can have 1 quick, boring glance at each other and perhaps a plain conversation and the very next scene will cut to her riding his dick as they declare their love and devotion to each other. like it’s impossible for a man and a woman to be just friends in a piece of media and two characters being gay is just impossible. what are you so afraid of?

Nimona makes me flail about, screaming, frothing at the mouth, uninterpretable sounds coming from my soul, sobbing, gutted, floored.

Wish just makes me sit there like this: 😐

Really? You don't think it has anything to do with the fact that Disney deliberately sabotaged a film of theirs portraying a loving and healthy biracial family with an openly gay teenaged son by giving it no promoting whatsoever? Don't you think it might have something to do with that rather than Disney trying to be "woke"? Okay.

It's always hilarious watching people go ; "grrrr there's too much sanitised sexless queer representation, we need more bad horny and messy queers grrr"

And those people almost exclusively consume children's cartoons and Highschool romcoms, like if you don't turn off Nick Jr and watch an actual show for Adults before I smack you upside the head. Clowns!

Will Queer Subtext Survive in Contemporary Media?

This video covers how broad issues with entertainment media, particularly Hollywood and Western television, are affecting directors and writers in their attempts to tackle queer representation—especially how they employ queer subtext.

We are witnessing the disappearance of subtext (the implicit) and, progressively, the disappearance of even explicit metaphors.

Issues such as the unforgiving pace of streaming platforms, Hollywood’s heteronormative standards, a decline in media comprehension, and uninspired writers are now blatantly palpable to the audience as we witness the demise of the Western film and television industry.

The video is not a dissertation! Given that this is a fairly new development in entertainment media, the video invites a discussion. Please let me know what you think! (And please be mindful if you engage with others.)

I apologize for the grammar slips; I’ve spoken primarily Portuguese lately 💛

Exclusive Interview: Misia Butler on his heroic trans character in Netflix's Greek mythology series KAOS "I find it really empowering to see someone so strong in his identity"
