I still remember the most baffling queerbaiting accusation I've ever seen. On some episode of Elementary a prostitute (I think) winked at Joan and oh god, I guess that was too much for some people. It was a really melodramatic post too, written in that affected, over-emotional tumblr style.

Because that is queerbaiting.

And that hurts.

Poor baby. Showing a queer woman on TV was really crossing the line.

By that logic you can't show any queer people at all or you're queerbaiting. Of course, as we know, two presumably straight people of the same sex having a close, platonic friendship is also queerbaiting. Or two people if the same sex just interacting is queerbaiting. What isn't queerbaiting? Must all TV shows will consist of only establishing shots and incidental music?

I mean, to be fair to people who actually defend queerbaiting as a concept, that person was WRONG about what queerbaiting is. But... these concepts are flimsy and nebulous in the first place, so them getting co-opted by dumb people is kind of inevitable...

But to answer your question, yes.

How dare they. Either make Joan/prostitute super duper serious canon instantly or show absolutely nothing at all. That's realistic, right?
