nayrt but, what (popular) shows would you consider queerbaiting? I can't imagine that everyone agrees upon what has it, because there will always be fans that deny there was ever anything queer to start with.

For example, is BBC Sherlock queerbaiting, because not only is it a rather intimate bromance but also the narrative makes gay jokes about them?

Merlin?

Both of those are, yes. They contain very high levels of intentional gay subtext in the narrative that the creators then go on to debunk. The main factor is in whether the subtext is intentional on the part of the creators or just something read into it by the fans, and in both of those cases it's deliberately added.
