UGH

from a lurking reader...

Sigh. When did queerbaiting get co-opted from its actual meaning to this crap? *looks at urbandictionary.com definition* Oh. November 3rd 2014. *votes down new definition, votes up old definition, recommends others do the same*

As a long-time (20 years already? dear god, when the fuck did I get old) bisexual activist, this kind of stuff pisses me off so much. Giving the ability to read more into a story than is written there isn't insulting to the queer community. It's a way of saying, not our reality, but it's okay to read your own into it.

On top of it all, it's NOT queerbaiting. Queerbaiting is a term that existed previously, for a problem that still exists to this day, and the folks who are co-opting the term are just proving that they don't *actually* care about queer issues OR THEY WOULD KNOW THAT.

Just... just no.
