I'd assume the OP of the secret felt it was more appropriation than queerbaiting.

I don't really understand why though. I thought part of supporting LGBT stuff in film was about being like "straight actors shouldn't be all grossed out by the idea of acting as gay characters." I remember that was a big reason everyone admired Ledger and Gyllanhaal in Brokeback Mountain.

Well, a lot of supposedly LGBT stuff in film that is with women is actually mostly about appealing to men and the male gaze. And that makes me uncomfortable. I don't know what the image in this secret is so I can't comment on whether it is something that is like that or not. But M/M stuff in film doesn't tend to be like that so it makes me personally less uncomfortable.

I would say there's about the same level of Not-Shit Representation for men and women in that regard, it's just that women also have another whole separate segment of Shit Representation that's layered on top of that

unfortunately
