Queerbaiting / Slashbaiting

[erilyn]

Yo, what are some good examples of queerbaiting / slashbaiting fans (eg shows/TPTB try to have their cake and eat it too, by appealing to fans who want to see non-heterosexual characters/couples/storylines, but without actually, you know, making it canon)?

Looking for both specific stuff within narrative or external (interviews/cons/promos etc), any help appreciated :)

Due South - specifically third season - Paul Gross wrote in quite a lot of slash bait after being made aware of slash fans.

Bullet Proof - queer baiting.

Interesting, cause it's often referred to as a more modern issue, but fair point.
