Re: Friendship or queerbaiting?

I'm sure other people have different definitions, but for me, queerbaiting is more based on intention of the creator. If the closeness used as a joke, it's probably based on "lol, gays", but not always. If the creators go, "Hey, gays are a thing now, so let's get some ratings! But we can't have actual gay people in our show," that's queerbaiting. It there's an ad for, "See who turns lesbian on tonight's episode," but then the girls are just doing it for guys, that's queerbaiting.

For the record, I don't think that "mistaken for gay", even as humor, is necessarily queerbaiting. Neither is UST. Both of those can happen in real life, and can even be funny without being homophobic.

Jeez, I wish I could think of specifics for this.

This is pretty much how I think of it, though "mistaken for gay" really annoys me when it's done over and over.
