Re: queerbaiting?

[(Anonymous)]

The example I always look to for queerbaiting minutes is Supernatural - and even I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as the keyboard warriors claim.

Basically, when the show has Dean falling all over himself like a teenager and flirting with a guy who thinks he's gay, or plays up the the wink wink nudge nudge subtext because slash fans will like it while refusing to actually make Dean queer...that's queerbaiting. Basically teasing your audience without ever planning on following through.

Queer coding from a historical context isn't really something I'm able to discuss with any authority but a different example might be the guy who's very feminine in dress or overly in touch with their emotions - basically hitting all the stereotypes without actually saying it, which is harmful both to the queer community who still doesn't get representation and to members of the Straight community who aren't stereotypically "straight-acting."
