Does it matter* to you what the creators think?

One of the things that was so fun about Doctor/Rose was how into it the whole cast and crew were. It was a joyous tumble of "wow, they really love it as much as I do!" with hearts and flowers all over the place

OTOH, Teen Wolf has changed how I see behind the scenes stuff, because they actually are so supportive and it seems like it could happen. And then I look at other shows with popular slash ships where behind the scenes the showrunner may tweet a pic that's cute of them together or the actors may joke about it - but there's a "no homo" vibe within the show itself. This makes me feel like the people behind the scenes are courting slash fans (because we tend to be pretty hard core fans), but really just using us. I'm not sure where the line is between honest subtext and where it becomes queerbaiting though, it's very nebulous.

Yeah, that can be a hard line to figure out sometimes. Much as I do like USA's bromance shows, they inevitably have their moments where it's very clear that they're queerbaiting. And that gets frustrating. I haven't seen any of that from Teen Wolf so far and I don't expect based on the way that I've seen Jeff reacting to fandom, but you never know.

Hey did you see that, I actually brought it back to your original question in the conclusions! It's like a class essay where you bring it all back around.
