@ajvstheeworld: I think queer baiting implies someone is “pretending” to be gay and thats why folks dont like it, which is fair! Of course no one has to come out! But i don’t think thats the real complaint. i think queer folks are usually just trying to express that profiting off stuff when you dont want anything to do w all that it came w is is a lil messed up. And that can happen along any axis. Like white queer folks also commodidy black queer stuff. #queerbaiting #queer #lgbt #community #queeraesthetic #wlw #sapphic #blackqueer #media #music #artists #comingout
I felt this abt Billie Eilish and just felt uncomfortable (obv she's come out now) but back then it felt rlly weird to see and having kissing and tongue stuff and then yeh

The issue is that we don’t KNOW that those people aren’t queer.

I was literally just thinking abt how uncomfortable the phrase "real ppl can't queerbait" makes me and you broke this down so so so well

It feels like commodifying our attention and aesthetic without stepping forward to be an actual part of this community.

Yes! Especially when a large part of our community have been ostracized or targeted for being ourselves and queer.

Real people CAN queer bait, they can create fictional personas in order to get more notoriety. Just look at the former Russian girl group Tatu. they pretended to be a lesbian couple in order to cause controversy. Now they're both publicly straight and one is openly homophobic!

This is probably the best take I’ve seen about this. I still think there’s a problem with some examples ppl try to call out, but it’s valid to feel discomfort when ppl are not in community with us
