You know, it's really weird to me that I've come across people accusing creators/writers of more than one show of queerbaiting when there were actual queer characters and relationships on those shows. The characters were just not the ones those people wanted, I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

Because "queerbaiting" is not real. It is literally just people mad their ship isn't canon trying to dress it up in progressive language to make their tantrums seem more legitmate.

[(Anonymous)]

No, it's a real thing with a word that gets overused and misused. It's like "gaslighting" and "cultural appropriation."

Writers who have stated afterwards that they liked implying a queer ship might happen when they didn't mean to make it happen are guilty of queerbaiting. That is the definition. If we don't know their intent, we can't know for sure if something is queerbaiting. But it's not like writers stating their intent was to queerbait in all ways except using the word has never happened.

Fans have used the phrases "queerbaiting" and "bury your gays" about the same ship or characters, and that shows so many don't know what either thing means. One ship can fundamentally not be both. If it's really queerbaiting and one of them dies, it's not bury your gays because the gay isn't canon. If it's really bury your gays, it's not queerbaiting because the gay is canon. You can't have your hate-cake and eat it too.
