Real People Cannot Queerbait - Tumblr Posts

say it with me y'all - real people cannot queerbait. queerbaiting is a very specific marketing tactic companies/media will use and it's good to be able to recognize it and call it out when you see it.

but real people cannot queerbait. a real person being themselves is not queerbaiting. a male celebrity complimenting another man is not queerbaiting. when you claim that's queerbaiting, you're being so incredibly reductive - men are allowed to show affection and appreciation for other men without it being queer. you're reinforcing toxic masculinity by automatically calling it queerbaiting.

real people being themselves is not queerbaiting.
