Finally I see folks using queerbait correctly cause saying BL actors queerbait does not make sense but this does.
No. This is the ACTUAL definition of queerbait which y’all like to ignore - “Queerbaiting is a marketing or narrative technique where creators hint at, tease, or insinuate LGBTQ+ relationships or characters in media (TV, film, books) to attract queer audiences, while never officially depicting them to avoid alienating mainstream viewers.” BL actors can’t queerbait if y’all are getting the BL and the NC. SkyNani is queerbaiting. So again when y’all say BL actors queerbait y’all are not using the right term. And this is backed by BL scholars in academia. They also say y’all use the term BL incorrectly the majority of the time. SkyNani is an example of queerbaiting but not BL actors so it’s best to use another term for BL actors which would be marketing which you’re going to see from every actor BL or not.
