I can think of literally zero examples of this. Apparently I'm watching the wrong shows? (Or perhaps, the right shows?)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queerbaiting
Has examples.
Some of those seem a bit reaching. Will and Mike, seriously?
I’ve not watched Stranger Things so idk about that one but some are definitely a reach lol.
Just rewatched Bridesmaids and it fits this pretty well.
Queerbaiting is almost exclusively a thing that happens in badly written shows
