I’m playing the DLC and I’m so glad that Suzerain will finally let me be a communist sympathizer with a secret gay relationship.

they really said

[kameonerd566]

I love pirates and I love gay people so you can only imagine how I'm coping after having now seen ofmd :')

"Lol not watching this movie cause it's like 95% queerbait" I cannot express how much I do not relate to this sentiment. If something is 95% queerbait I'm sitting my ass DOWN. front row. Popcorn. I do not give a shit if they 100% confirm that two characters are together, I'm here for some grade A homoerotic bullshit

People using a lot of words to restate the exact ridiculous points of my meme while explaining to me how I'm using the meme wrong because their Blessed Kingdom is blessed for reals and our Barbarous Wastes are tragically actually barbarous they are certain

[s-trip-tease]

I feel like people need to watch "Sherlock", "Supernatural" and "House MD" to remind themselves on what queerbaiting actually looks like.

Best of luck to the folks that ship Loki and Owen Wilson. I really don’t think it’s gonna happen but godspeed

After decaphoebs of denial, I finally finished season 8 of Voltron.

I will think twice next time.

this comment on a merlin tiktok…okay.

[purgaytorysupremacy]

okay so. I know I made a whole post recently about how queerbaits better reflect my experience of queerness but. like. I also think that media that's being produced right now and is queerbaiting or being ambiguous or still trying to play it to the straights while giving the queers the crumbs we're used to? that's not an acceptable thing to me. we've gotta move beyond the "we were born this way" explanation of queerness (which was extremely necessary for mainstream acceptance at the time and got us to where we are now) and onto queer people are just people who have complex stories and histories and they all deserve to be be told.

is supernatural (and xena and house m.d. and and and) formative in the exploration of my queerness? hell yes. you can't never explain that away. did I deserve better? hell yeah. should the people making media that still wants to capitalize on queer audiences while not alienating straight audiences know better by now and therefore should do better? also yes.

“real people cant queerbait!!” erm tell that to my yr9 best friend

[leatherbookmark]

look i am a little rpf loving bastard myself and i would never blame someone for going insane over fanservice/pda/little moments, but few things are more embarrassing than people who suddenly get PhDs in everything at the same time and confidently make judgements about the state/Real levels of a ship. "you CANNOT deny that they're more than friends, this is 100% romantic" and then the photos/screenshots show the bare minimum of physical interaction

[commando-rogers]

David Jenkins after season 1: wow I’m honestly surprised that people were so amazed that it was an actual love story, I guess I didn’t realize how common and painful queerbaiting is, to me it was just this story about the two of them in love and it sucks that so many fans have been brushed aside with ambiguity in the past

David Jenkins’ actual first sentence of anything he releases of season 2: “dear Ed, I love everything about you”

he really said “btw it’s gonna be EXTRA not-ambiguous, just in case you were wondering. eat up, babes”

on the topic of ship hot takes, joel and jimmy are queerbaiting btw. there’s nothing more deceitful than having 2 men say they’re almost gonna kiss and call each other babe to then realizing post-look up that they are straight and in a relationship with a women. grian was totally right for acting like that when they pretend kissed because he was calling them out right there! end rant

normal people: hey man hows it going
