genshin players and wriolette shippers - before you use the term QUEERBAITING, learn what it means. Thank you and goodnight.
#you have no idea what queerbaiting is and it shows#it's getting old#and ridiculous#genshin#wriolette#i am also a wriolette shipper#and yes#i see them as heavily implied in the game#still. not queerbaiting.#homoerotic subtext =/= queerbaiting#bffr

Cressida going from calling Eloise a “radical ruffian” to listening to her rants about women’s rights oh we are so back.
#to be clear: i do not CARE if it’s queerbaiting i’m still gonna have fun with these two#bridgerton spoilers#bridgerton#i am an expert in shipping non-canon ships whatever happens will not be enough to put me off how cute they are#eloise x cressida#creloise#eloise bridgerton#cressida cowper

the "i need everything gay and queer exactly spelled out for me word for word or it doesn't exist and is queerbait" crowd is going to hate venom 3
#venom 3 spoilers#venom 3#venom the last dance#like. guys. COME ON#COME ON COME ON COME ON#you cannot be serious right meow#sjonnie.text#i genuinely wholeheartedly disagree with people saying venom 3 is queerbait!#like. this movie was GAY. IT WAS GAY GAY.#you don't need a kiss. or an i love you. YOU ALREADY GOT THE I LOVE YOU FIRST OF ALL! and secondly. everything venom does? that is love.#eddie saying but i need him? COME. ON. NOW.#they don't have to say i love you. that doesn't make this movie queerbait#was the marketing a bit more queer than what we got? i will not disagree completely. but in the end it was still plenty queer!

I think queer stories would be better if people stopped assuming that queer representation hinges on if two characters are romantically involved at all. Like the moment you accept characters as being queer without needing romance to prove said queerness then i think we'd find ourselves with a lot more unique, nuanced, and interesting queer stories. but by limiting queerness to only romance you are stifling queer stories.
#text#queer#lgbtq+#lgbt#lgbt+#lgbtqia#lgbtqia+#you can't get mad at the idea of cookie cutter queer stories while also saying that it's 'queerbaiting' if two characters dont kiss.#this isn't just in reference to aspec identities or gender identities either#I think a character can still be valid gay representation without ever kissing someone to prove it#a bi person doesn't need to kiss both boys and girls to be valid bi rep#there are more ways to express and share queer identity that dont require a love plot to be tacked on to validate the queerness#don't relegate the queer experience to only love stories. they can be so much more than that.#romance mention

what if i ended it all right now.
#THEY KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING#THEY KNEW WE WOULD EAT THIS UP FR ‼️#they saw how much of a reaction we had to the homoerotic chin grab#so they decided to feed us another sexually charged snippet#as a little treat#it’s not queerbaiting but that doesn’t mean i cant still get mad that they won’t end up together in this movie#wdym the mario movie isn’t just about these two i refuse to believe it.#i love how twinkified luigi is in this movie like he’s so girlypop and for what 😭#luigi#bowser#bowuigi#super mario bros#smb#super mario bros movie#mario movie#mario movie trailer#GAY#GAY PEOPLE REAL

#i'm very normal about them#(that's a lie)#idk how imodna mains have been able to handle their ship being canon#i've barely been able to focus on my work#seriously though#after all this time#i'm still not used to my queer ships becoming canon#because it usually ends up being queerbaiting#so this is really refreshing#i'm really grateful for CR giving us such amazing representation#dorym#dorian storm#orym of the air ashari#orym#critical role

actually there's a huge difference between queerbaiting/"Hey guys look how gay these two are haha they're definitely gonna end up together, give us views uwu oh- never mind oops they're going to superhell" and "Hey it's 2004-2012 and there's no way we can get away with having our protags/main couple be two gay men but we really want to show these two are soulmates so we'll do it through subtext and underlying messages and by literally telling you over and over again their relationship is the most stable and important in the entire show, and the ending will imply they lived and died together", and it's insane that some of yall don't see how these two are not the same fucking thing.
#saw a very Shit Take about hilson earlier and im like. hm. some of yall have no idea what gay rep was like before 2016ish and it shows!#i feel like usa queer ppl have forgotten that this is actually still the norm about queer rep in most non-USA places#or are young enough/new enough in fandom that they dont know this was actually the most we'd get at the time#like if it was queerbaiting it would eventually be played as a joke Haha No Homo#but it wasnt. like. their relationship was shown to be THE most stable and important one in both their lives & the show overall#they literally destroyed their LIVES to be with each other. repeatedly.#anyway i could write an entire 10 page thesis on the matter but i have an actual exam in three hrs so. another time#house md#hilson#greg house#james wilson#gregory house#house x wilson

It's really all the mini romance arcs in this damn show...
3x08 Cuts Like a Knife
3x12 Love The Way You Lie
The undercurrent of season 3 is Maura trying to get Jane to drink more wine for her health and every single moment of it feels like a romantic B-plot.
#rizzoli and isles#rizzles#i love to think all the romance and queerbaiting was mostly accidental so I don't get so mad...#but the former english student in me isn't dead yet and those patterns—intentional or not—are still thematic & symbolic#arghhhh#anyway gifsets made while folding laundry... really helped actually. Might make it a habit

i can't believe the show about characters being gay and problematic won't let the characters be gay and problematic
#yes this is about nandor and guillermo and the latest interview#i mena it's fine i won't tell the writers how to write their show#but also it felt so much like they were preparing them to be the next pam and jim#don't be mad at me for sowing what YOU planted#the show is still queer and gay and amazing but i feel kinda “queerbaited” ngl? shipbaited?#just the reasoning being he's his boss like the characters haven't canonically done worse#AND them not being in such unbalanced position anymore#foggy thoughts#still love the show#just a little disappointed#maybe it's just easier for the continuity idk#nandermo#wwdits
