I can't believe the amount of people in the comments that have never seen queerbaiting, I guess none of them watched Supernatural

You can’t convince me that Naruto and Sasuke were not meant for each other. Hinata and Sakura have like 0 chemistry with them.

You can't convince me they don't angry fuck on the side

Shockingly relevant.

I never finished supernatural. What was the qieerbaiting in that? I swear to the gods if you say "Dean didn't fuck Sam" I'm gonna lose all hope in humanity.

Did you never make it to season 4? Castiel and Dean are probably the most popular ship for that show.

.........Wat. Dean is VERY straight and Castiel is an amorphous asexual agender "beyond human comprehension" concept possessing a human body. Just because Jimmy the dude he's possessing is a dude doesn't make it a dude. That's been a thing the whole series with demons swapping from male/female bodies and seducing people in both. Cas doesn't have a gender, or sex, or preference. Did tumblr go THAT fucking crazy over gay sex in supernatural they turned an agender asexual philosophical embodiment of an idea into a romantic love symbol? Holy reaching, Batman. Literally

Also I got to like, two seasons before the end, I think

If you watched that many seasons and you didn't see the Castiel and Dean queerbaiting, you are never going to see queerbaiting

Have you tried entertaining the thought that you're expecting things where they don't logically make sense? If you want a real example of queen baiting look at The Magicians. It had one of the most emotional deepest bonding episodes between two of the male main characters who -

SPOILERS AHEAD

lived an entire life together, decades, kids, I sobbed. And then they killed one of them right before they could get together. THATS the shit you should be upset about. Not this weird ass very clearly fanfiction between a straight man and an asexual.

Here's a good breakdown of The Last Great American Queerbait (yes that's a nickname for Supernatural): https://youtu.be/-Q0eX9Rrah0 And here's a video about all the problematic queer representation in the show: https://youtu.be/XPgrZTax5Nw
