Summary

The flesh of queerbaiting is the product, is the polish, and the shine. The place where I see iridescent glimpses of myself. The body of it is narcissus; the mirage-reflection I reach for, dip my fingers through glassy water, drown down within it. The promise of my image, and the surface tension that the promise is only light painting incidental pictures. Only the fool I’ve made of myself. Slipping into the stream.

But the soul. The soul of it is mine.

I don't think a straight person writes the content used for queerbaiting. I think queer creators write it and other people sell it. I think that's why I keep buying it.
