about them queerbaiting what I saw at least recently is how their current series "Wu" was marketed and advertised, so many people thought it will be a BL series. But when trailer came and series started airing it was clear it isn't a BL, but a bromance. So people feel cheated, baited and kinda disappointed. And that's why they call it queer baiting, coz if people thought it will be a BL series then it was advertised this way just to make BL fans interested and invested and to be fair making it more popular. Not only series, but SkyNani too. Coz people thought they will change into BL pair and even if not everyone was agreeing with it, there were discussions, just people talking about it, making more people involved etc. Also because it was going to air on GagaOOLala which is platform supporting LGBTQ+, so for people it was confirmation it will be a BL. And when it was clear it won't be a BL, people were mad and GagaOOLala removed "Wu" from their platform and ended this collaboration. And to be fair I kinda agree with people. I wasn't invested in this, but it should be clear that it won't be a BL, but a bromance and it should be advertised as a bromance and not trying to fool BL fans just to get more views etc. I saw many people saying they won't watch "Wu" just bcs of how it was advertised. Some people even said they won't support SkyNani anymore. So there is a problem. You said actors can't be queer baiting, but they agree to portrait these characters who are queerbaiting and portrait this story. They aren't forced to do so, they can choose what they want to do. Director of Me and Thee said they wouldn't work on this series if PondPhuwin chose different project. They get some propositions from gmmtv and they choose one they want to do. If they don't like all of them, then gmmtv will try to find something else. JoongDunk were like this, they didn't like all projects presented to them, so they got DYTD instead. I mean I kinda don't understand how you are saying SkyNani can't be queerbaiting. Coz they are. If they chose this story, these characters and acted as them then they are queerbaiting too. And last thing is about bromance.
