    Does she know that queerbaiting is baiting the queer fans into thinking she is into another member not baiting the fans into thinking she is queer?

    I haven’t seen the clip but I assume she had excessive skinship?

  2. People were saying she’s queerbaiting??? I wish people did at least a little bit of research before saying stuff like that cause her being queer isn’t a secret.

  3. As a lesbian, I’m sick of people misusing this goddamn word 😭 I’m sick of seeing people in my community being forced to out themselves bc people are stupid. Of course Lara is already out, but if she wasn’t, I already see the harassment about it.

    I remember people trying to say that Irene and Seulgi were queerbaiting. REAL PEOPLE CANNOT QUEERBAIT. Idk what’s so hard about that. Why can’t anyone get that through their heads? Queerbaiting has to do with FICTIONAL characters. It’s when writers for a show or movie will hint at or try to bait fans into thinking a character is lgbtq. They will hint at the getting with a same-sex character and they do it to keep fans invested in the show. After fans get invested, they switch up and actually end up making them straight bc the spreader baited fans into staying invested. That’s what it means. A REAL human person cannot queerbait and this shit is how people are forced to come out before they’re ready to. What she did was fan-service, not trying to convince fans she with Manon. Let’s be honest, if members of the same group were to date, I doubt they would be openly be grinding on each other. They would obviously try to avoid being outed.

    What did she do that lead people to accuse her of that? I haven’t watched the full performance
