Helo,

Firstly, I've been in fandom for a very long time and I know what queerbaiting means. If I wrote the definition wrong, it is because I'm currently going through caffine withdrawl for the first time since I was 17. Secondly, "homoerotic subtext" was in no way used in the deffinition. Homoerotic and romantic subtext have a very fine line, but are distinctly different. Queerbaiting is also a term used by fanbases as a way of discussing creator intentions. For example the 9-1-1 ship Buddie, is often debated of being queerbaiting since a few of the creators have admitted to putting more of the moments in the show because fans like it (including haveing some people believe they're a couple), and equally paralleling romantic relationships within the same show. Another example would be the character Stile from Teen Wolf who makes a lot of comments on attractive men, but is in no way confirmed to be queer at all.

Hopefully I've justified myself to you. Thank you for your time.
