(Anonymous) 2018-01-31 12:05 am (UTC)(link)I probably wouldn't have. I definitely wouldn't have if you had instead said, "Just because a show has queer characters doesn't mean it won't have queerbaiting. Look at shows like SPN and Riverdale."
The point that having a queer character isn't a cure all and there might be other issues with a show is a valid one. Saying that all shows are the same with this is not. As a lesbian, I would have loved to have had a show like Supergirl to watch growing up. Where not only could I have wanted to be Supergirl, but I could also want to be Alex, who is kick ass but who also has a girlfriend. I never got to see that, and I think it's important that people get to see that. Sure, tell an actress who makes inappropriate comments that her comments are inappropriate and hurtful and why they are so. But don't lump shows like that in with shows like SPN.
I get bothered when people stick a bunch of shows together and say "look they're all doing it wrong for all the same reasons!" because that doesn't help solve anything in my opinion. Point out what is being done wrong and what is being done right. Encourage people to do more of what is being done right and discourage what is being done wrong, and hopefully things will continue to improve.
