the life cycle of this buddie getting shut down in s4 theory is exactly what I meant when I said the fandom is queerbaiting itself.
people take a snippet of bts info that they have almost no context for -> extrapolate wildly -> the theory spreads, more stuff gets tacked on -> it spreads even further, now minus any context -> it gets ingrained into the fanon lore and treated as a fact -> ppl get their hopes up, then feel cheated if/when nothing comes of it.
in less than a day we’ve gone from oliver saying bi buck was pitched to him at some point in the last couple of years but got squashed by someone above him, to people saying that the shooting/will was definitely originally an explicit love confession.
To be clear we’ve no idea what that version of buck’s coming out would’ve looked liked. Hell, depending on how early it got scrapped, the writers might not know much beyond buck = bi.
and I’m not saying it’s not plausible (to a degree at least) but some of you are acting like oliver leaked a deleted buddie confession scene in 4k. When all he did was make a pretty vague reference to a storyline that never was.
It’s fine to speculate just please stop presenting it as if tim minear is in your dms.

Tumblr media
I’m not going to watch this video, because it will probably get my blood pressure rising. Could this title just be clickbait or ragebait? Possibly, but based on the comments I saw, probably not.
I bet it is filled with:
1. An inaccurate definition of what queerbait actually is.
2. A lack of understanding of past anime that have queerbaited (Getbackers, Saiyuki, Princess Princess, etc.) and a lack of anime that have existed in more nuanced and subtle queer spaces (Nabari no Ou - written by an actual x-gender, asexual mangaka, Tiger & Bunny, Samurai Flamenco (from my understanding), and possibly the anime series called Pet (I only watched like the first 3 episodes or so of this one). 
3. A straight or gay reading without a single glance at more nuanced queer interpretation of the pair (aka an aspec or queerplatonic reading).
Based on the comments (and the tagged sections of the video), it seems that there was a mention of how the female characters were treated in the series, but I wonder if there was any analysis on how which female characters were treated in what ways, how those female characters engaged within Japanese society, and what messages the series might be saying about Japanese society as a whole, and about the world of men (the hitman business Rei and Kazuki were apart of) vs. the world of women (the childcare business Rei and Kazuki enter into). 
Working three jobs now, I don’t have the time or energy to watch this video right now, but if anyone else does, please let me know if this is an accurate interpretation or not. I’ll update the post if need be. 
But, this is such a stale and broken take on the series and it saddens me that basically one of the only videos I’ve seen on this series, going actually in-depth on it, from someone with a decently sized platform is going with such a bland and honestly straight up wrong take (the series isn’t queerbait, since it was never ever promoted or advertised in a way to make you ship Kazuki and Rei). A show having queer subtext or a queer reading to it =/= queerbait, which is a specific marketing based term.
I feel like an interpretation like this one is missing out on the whole point of the series, as well as on various other messages and themes it is trying to tell. And if this is just a ragebait or clickbait style title, then that’s frustrating too, because it instantly turns me off from actually watching this video and what it might have to say and tell about Buddy Daddies as a series.

What are some things about dreams physicality/appearance that shocked you when he face revealed? (Like things you were expected that ended up shocking you, not necessarily specific features bc none of us knew those)

people will watch a man be psychosexually obsessed with another man, give another man a handjob while asking him if he's going to behave, watch a man jack off in a bath tub and then proceed to drink the water of said bath and still say that it's queerbaiting

the perception of dream after the face reveal going from "hes a straight man queerbaiting!" to "yeah hes gay, look at him" was so fascinating. i dont think that man catches queerbait strays anymore full stop 😭
this is really fucking breathtaking. And correct
