Kara/Lena shippers in Supergirl fandom, or at least I would routinely see 'this show is queerbaiting with K/L' type posts in the Sanvers tag, y'know the actual canon LGBT f/f ship, to try and drum up support and when pointed out that the show does have canon rep they would try to argue why Alex/Maggie 'wasn't good enough' as if that would make us sympathetic to their plight.
Just say it wasn't the ship you wanted and be done with it.
And Sterek is another example, now this one is messy because the PR team was a sack of shit and kicked the goddamn hornets nest of fandom, but I legit saw people claiming queerbait when Danny, the actual gay-character on the show, got a boyfriend and some make-out scenes(and that's when I peaced out of ever checking that fandom again because the fuck).
It's not some huge issue, but I do see it sometimes and it's annoying, plus y'know, stupid as fuck.
