Not that I don't think accusations of queerbaiting have gotten ridiculous, but are you seriously saying all or most of the accusers are straight? Can we bury the dead straw unicorn that is the belief that the majority of m/m shippers are straight teenage girls who only like it because uwu hot boiz sinning?

I never said anything about teenage girls but yeah, I've only met one male slash fan to the dozens of female slash fans so I don't think it's out of the water to say slash fandom is a predominantly female group.

Not AYRT, but are you seriously looking the internet in the eye right now and saying that the majority of fans crying about queerbaiting are gay men looking for media representation? How much money are you willing to bet on that? Hell, how much money are you willing to stake on even 45% of the fans up in arms about queerbaiting on any given day being gay men looking for their relationships to be represented in the media? I've got bills to pay and won't say no to easy money.

m/m fandom is largely made up of women, this is not a secret but a known fact.

+1000000

And I think it's pretty fucking wild that people ITT are acting like you have to be a queer man specifically in order to care about queer rep in general.

The great weeping hordes of Destiel fans are about as concerned about "queer rep in general" as frat boys pining for more hot Asian lesbians on whatever show frat boys watch these days.

Maybe not all of them, but good god they sure are there and make themselves known. I still haven't gotten over the girl who brought a sign to a marriage equality protest "Make gay marriage legal so my ships can marry <3"
