Have you tried entertaining the thought that you're expecting things where they don't logically make sense? If you want a real example of queen baiting look at The Magicians. It had one of the most emotional deepest bonding episodes between two of the male main characters who -

Really funny that you bring up The Magicians actually because Sera Gamble was a showrunner in both shows #girlBoss #queerbaitingQueen
