Queerbaiting Also Implies Author Intention And As I’ve Said Time And Time Again: Nobody Writes Queer

Queerbaiting also implies author intention and as I’ve said time and time again: nobody writes queer rep like authors that have no intention of doing so and are actually a little homophobic about the implications

i see a lot of people call hilson queerbait and i dont entirely disagree but…i also dont entirely agree either? yknow? like i think theres a LOT of subtext and implications to the point where its kinda just up for interpretation on what their relationship is like and whether its purely platonic, romantic, or even just some Secret Third Thing.

I think the show makes it abundantly clear, however, that its more than just a friendship. not that it means in necessarily romantic or anything, but it still runs deeper than like, the average perception of two friends. if that makes any sense.

overall idk i think calling hilson queerbait straight up is just Not entirely true and kind of undermines their relationship.
