Re: Queerbaiting shows?

Well, queerbaiting has to be done deliberately by the director in order to be queerbaiting. It toys with the idea, but whenever it gets too "intimate", it backs away with a clear no homo. I agree the concept can be vague and not always 100%, and the line between subtext and baiting can be kind of vague too. But I'd say the concept is easier to recognize when done with two sexy female characters for a "mainstream" audience, where there seems to be something queer going on for the sake of titillating the audience, only for them to have boyfriends at the end. (with no exploration of actual bi/gay feelings)

I think I would have more faith in the concept if the most prominent uses didn't also happen to be in cases of juggernaut ships tbh.
