- Title
Queerbaiting: an explanation of how a straight female almost bought a fabulous bed.
- Abstract
Queerbaiting and Fandom: Teasing Fans Over Homoerotic Possibilities, edited by Joseph Brennan (Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 2019), $50. Also, plots often have "situational homosexuality", a term which describes "temporary and often isolated homosexual behaviors, rather than constituted identities, and long-term practices" (Brennan 6). While enticing gay viewers with potentially gay content and not following through with it seems harmless, and well within the kind of fantasy that marketing usually offers, there are far-reaching negative implications: queerbaiting is an exploitative marketing tactic used on a marginalized group (Brennan 2).
