subtly telling the audience that Lance was in fact part of the LGBTQ, thus raising the viewership and ratings of the show. They NEVER confirmed any of their supposed sexualities and GAVE the audience high expectations. Just to ATTRACT a larger audience

3. What makes the DTeam not queerbaiting but in fact a simple bromance. All of the members have EXPLICITLY mentioned their sexualities and were not vague about it. If they really were queerbaiting they would have intentionally let their very own audience think that they are queer

Besides that, it in fact is highly normalised that people hug, kiss, spoon and all in a very platonic sense. It differs for each person and you may not be as affectionate with your friends but I dare to say if you think this is queerbaiting,go ahead and damm am entire generation

Why I’m making this thread is not really a defence but rather it’s ENDLESSLY infuriating that stantwt in general to degrade friendships as nothing more than queerbaiting. Sure the way I phrased it is harsh but I believe it’s dangerous if we continue to have this mindset
