Have you tried entertaining the thought that you’re expecting things where they don’t logically make sense? If you want a real example of queen baiting look at The Magicians. It had one of the most emotional deepest bonding episodes between two of the male main characters who -
SPOILERS AHEAD
lived an entire life together, decades, kids, I sobbed. And then they killed one of them right before they could get together. THATS the shit you should be upset about. Not this weird ass very clearly fanfiction between a straight man and an asexual.
Here’s a good breakdown of The Last Great American Queerbait (yes that’s a nickname for Supernatural): https://youtu.be/-Q0eX9Rrah0
And here’s a video about all the problematic queer representation in the show: https://youtu.be/XPgrZTax5Nw
Haven’t seen Supernatural but Traegert says the character is ace and that makes me feel the need to weigh in. It’s not queerbaiting if the character they don’t make gay after all is canonically ace. Putting them in a gay relationship would be ace erasure, and would be acebaiting. Sure, maybe it’s gaybaiting, but revealing a gay-coded character is actually ace doesn’t in any way diminish the amount of queer in the show.
Okay are these the explicitly “I love and want to fuck you, a woman, because I am a straight heterosexual man” kind of love interests, or are you just interpreting them that way?
If you watched that many seasons and you didn’t see the Castiel and Dean queerbaiting, you are never going to see queerbaiting

Really funny that you bring up The Magicians actually because Sera Gamble was a showrunner in both shows #girlBoss #queerbaitingQueen
I REALLY REALLY wanted Q and Eli to get together at the end. Fucking peaches and plums man

The character is not canonically ace, he has several love interests but some people interpret him as ace

I don’t know about love but that man fucks. There was this one steamy kiss with a woman, mentions of him having lovers, and he even had a wife
