It seems like queer-baiting because being modern has nothing to do with being attracted to women. The idea that all that is required to be bisexual is an open mind so "Why not?".

[(Anonymous)]

You don't know what queerbaiting is, do you?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, as it's a relatively new term describing a newish phenomenon, I think I can safely say FUCK YOU YOU CONDESENDING PIECE OF SHIT, because the term and the application of the phenomenon are likely to undergo some changes over the next few years.

In essence, Queerbaiting: Encouraging people with an LGBT bent to support your media with vague hints / promises / suggestions that their demographic might be represented. Usually followed up with nothing significant to back up these suggestions.

In this case, the nice lady in the picture is supporting a queer interpretation of her character that will likely never come through on screen because it is based on nothing more than the logic that "Modern = Not straight" and the hope that that queer people will be happy to hear this and watch her show to see if it ever pans out. They have been baited. When someone's answer is "Yeah, Why not" you should probably doubt their commitment to whatever they're saying. Supporting characters but not committing to it, having flimsy justification for their queerness, This all fits comfortably under the current definition of Queerbaiting.

Now kindly unbunch your panties and quite being a jerk to people for no fucking reason.

*Supporting queer characters

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think I'm the one with bunched up panties.

Maybe not the only one now I admit. I was angry because you were a passive aggressive cunt.

the actress has no influence over whether or not Peggy is portrayed as bisexual on screen so she can't truly bait anyone if she doesn't actually have the power to make the bait come to fruition. she can interpret the character however she wants, just like everyone else. and just like everyone else, she doesn't have the ability to make that interpretation a reality.

and, honestly, what did you want her to say to the question? if she had been like "no, she's definitely straight" then a whole bunch of people would be pissed off for different reasons and if she said "I don't want to answer this question" then she just would have seemed weirdly evasive. it was an awkward position

Debatable, but I certainly agree that she has no influence over whether or not Peggy is portrayed as bisexual by the writing. However...

so she can't truly bait anyone if she doesn't actually have the power to make the bait come to fruition

I disagree. Baiting rarely come to fruition. The baiting part is pushing a story or pushing the marketing (<This bit) to make people think that a show is more gay-friendly than it really is. Actress is responsible for marketing, and her saying "Sure, why not bisexuals" is pushing for viewers to watch a show because "It must be pretty gay friendly if the actress thinks it is" I'd have been fine with "Who cares" or "Who knows" as an answer, Maybe even "That's how I read it" or "That's not how I read it". He'll I'd even have been fine with an "Why not" if it hadn't been lumped in with the implication that bisexuality is inherent in all modern thinking women because bisexuals are awesome! Watch our show please, bisexuals! We think you're trendsetting rock stars from the future!
