OC-OA-0012 -- queerbaiting

On this edition of OutCasting OffAir, OutCaster Lucy of our bureau at Michigan State University talks about queerbaiting, a tactic used in some TV shows to hint that certain characters may be LGBTQ, and thus baiting LGBTQ viewers, only to subsequently pull the rug out, putting those characters into opposite-gender relationships, tossing in LGBTQ jokes, or denying in interviews that they ever intended the characters to be anything but straight. This can be a problem for LGBTQ youth who need to see actual LGBTQ characters.

Outcasting Comicaryan Outcasting is a podcast where I talk about, art, design and stories from my life in an audio journal format. Ananda Nepali Ananda Nepali We are extremely pleased to share with you all that we have started a campaign to highlight the frontliners working to help protect communities during this pandemic.While all of us are staying inside for safety, our frontline heroes (doctor, nurses, army, police, representative, government officials) are working on the ground putting their lives at risk, scarifying and living away from their loved ones for months. And, instead of recognizing their selfless effort and supporting them, we are making their life more miserable by outcasting them, blaming them for the transmission of the virus and many other baseless accusations, ultimately discouraging them from their service. What these heroes need are to be supported and highlighted for their amazing work, rather than being under public harassment. So, we decided to celebrate their effort by recognizing them in our social media and asking other people to follow the same trend.The challenge is to thank one person you know or have heard The outCasting Project Candice Kowalski Just a couple of friends from different walks of life weighing in on nerd culture.
