and that point of 'if this was heterosexual nobody would doubt theyre dating but people start misunderstanding when its gay ' is so annoying because like yeah thats the problem. they've been given the room to misunderstand. in some cases they've been invited to misunderstand

queer fans are not really the ones getting tricked by 'queerbaiting' it's the straights who are being asked to consume these products and ignore all the gay stuff because they're a more valuable demographic to market to

do people not understand the reason is because it's mostly fictional boys
I still can’t believe they gave having a waifu a new name

of course at root its the same kind of delusion (affectionate) but theyve had yumejoshi in japan for like 20+ years its not exactly a new phenomenon

'dating' in quotation marks is so funny like its some made up concept re: my last post you can really see how even fans of implicit yuri get swept up in this terrible conception of canonicity
but things did happen… you can see their dynamic shifted, just because they aren’t “dating” or making out onscreen doesn’t mean nothing happened. that’s such a shallow way to view things— what would the “bait” even do? make everyone mad? nina loves momoka, momoka loves nina

im not saying they really think its realistic for someone to tell their crush 'i love you' and still never explicitly progress the relationship but more that portraying this level of implicit feeling in the first place is in fact 'good enough' for girls love

there are plenty of works (queer or otherwise) where this approach meshes with the story the author is trying to tell but i don't think readers are particularly obliged to respect the story that the author is trying to tell

queerbaiting discourse gives the writer too much credit in assuming they were trying to 'trick' you. it's a really annoying self-deprecating frame that puts you in an adversarial relationship with the work. stop engaging with art like it's a chess game (against dogs or otherwise)

its disrespectful to the work to use it merely as a means of divining the writer's intent, it's disrespectful to the writer to assume they weren't really trying, and most importantly it's disrespectful to yourself to waste time watching that shit
