Toxic Representation & The Weaponisation Of Queerbaiting
This week we discuss representation, toxic identity politics and celebrity queerbaiting.
We talk about the cancellation of Constance Wu, the way we punish actors for not representing their communities perfectly, and how fandom weaponised the term “queerbaiting” to punish Kit Connor.
