Are you seeing this on tumblr? Because I've never heard of Gene being accused of queerbaiting from back in the Livejournal days, and as far as I was aware he was still hailed as being super progressive for that and various things related to Uhura.

Yes, it's on tumblr. Ironically, it's some of the Spuhura fans who say things like this. Which, granted, Roddenberry wasn't perfect by any means, but the show and movies did a TON of great things for their time. Which isn't the case AT ALL for nuTrek and yet I see Bob Orci constantly defended by them when HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

Because Queer Baiting started mostly with Tumblr an basically what it boils down to is "Wahhh my Slash OTP is not ever going to be canon."

I don't think I ever heard people talk about queerbaiting at all back in the lj days. I've been pretty involved in fandom for about 11 or so years, but tumblr was the first time I saw people accuse show creators of queerbaiting. Not saying it didn't ever happen, but I'm not remotely surprised that you don't recall it happening on lj.
