In this episode, I talk about the media phenomenon of queerbaiting. This occurs when studios or creators sprinkle vague hints at a character's sexuality to keep queer audiences coming back for shreds of representation. I also talk about the application of the term to celebrities' personal lives and the importance of real, substantial representation.
