9-1-1's Queerbaiting attempts with Buck and Eddie have convinced Jennifer Love Hewitt it'll happen.

So, 9-1-1 is probably one of the shows with most queerbaiting moments. For those of you that don't know...(plays classical music)

Queer-baiting. Verb. A marketing technique used to attract queer viewers to a television or film, that involves creating romantic or sexual tension between two same-sex characters (usually heterosexual) but never making

the one who isn't ryan guzman has tweeted about it a few times and i'm pretty sure ryan is usually up for anything. but i genuinely don't think the writers want to go there.

"The one who isn't " 😃

I like the spin off show but the original cast just feels so much more like a family. And the chemistry is more on point.

I like that this is a running joke but lbr it's never going to happen and I'm fine with it. Not looking forward to Eddie and Chris' teacher who is obviously going to be a love interest. Also so glad Buck got closure from Abby.

This show is so stupid but I love it lol

[ljtryout]

i feel that's because we've had more time with them. But i love Lone Star too. TK and Carlos are adorable.

I’ve watched 911 since day 1 and I honestly never caught the queerbaiting even though I’m usually attuned to it. I also don’t think that it’ll happen, their relationship was built so much more as a friendship and I like how they are friends without the toxic masculinity we usually see in straight male relationships and that works better for me than making them suddenly realize they’re bi which would cheapen the great lesbian representation we already have on the show with two black women having a serious adult relationship and raising their kids together.

[soul_amazinn]

Yeah. If they want to make Buck bi or whatever that's fine but I actually don't want them to go that way with them as a couple lol it's really refreshing to see their friendship

In honor of The Last Airbender being on Netflix, shout out to Legend of Korra for turning their S3/S4 queer subtext into queer canon!

[missjersey]

Woo!

[bellwetherr]

we're on season 1 of korra right now and i'm so excited for the end

[picklejarre]

Well, don’t get your hopes too high. I mean, they did end up, but the whole season 4 was a mess in terms of building up to that. There were clues here and there but were very subtle. I think the writers wanted to push it as silently as possible considering it’s on a children’s channel - but at the expense of building a better foundation for the ending.

But Korra, while has some bad aspects, it still holds its own. Season 2 is so rich lore-wise, and Season 3 has the best action and villains. It was my favorite season. Season 4 for me had some moments, but felt way too rushed/underwhelming for me.

[la_petite_singe]

ONTD, have you been trapped by a Queerbaiting show?

Well, I watched Supernatural for several years, so yeah. :( And I honestly and truly thought Bass & Miles might be revealed as canon on Revolution (did anyone else watch that??), but no.

Person of Interest followed through and gave us fanservice in arguably a pretty good way, though, so that's something.

[ljtryout]

i still have hopes Cas will reveal his feelings during the finale.

[la_petite_singe]

I have a whole long dissertation in my head for why Dean & Cas could totally make sense as canon, but honestly I feel like the insane fans and their sense of entitlement have ruined it. :\ At this point it would just seem like pandering. But that's what fanfic's for.

[juanitatequila]

lmao did they write him to have unrequited feelings for dean??? omg 17 year old me would've flipped the fuck out about this

[theotherqueen]

I will remain forever bitter that mcdanno didnt become canon

[ljtryout]

Don't even get me started. The series finale was so shitty and i mas a MAJOR shipper since S1.

[britt_m_89]

Lmao yes.
