Queerbaiting in 2025: Representation, Manipulation & the Fight for Real Visibility

In this episode of The Queer Quest Podcast, host Christiano Green unpacks the ongoing issue of queerbaiting in mainstream media — and why LGBTQ+ audiences deserve so much more than subtle glances, vague hints, and performative pride.

We cover:

• What queerbaiting is and how it shows up in 2025

• How it psychologically harms queer audiences

• The difference between true representation and exploitation

• The reality of rainbow capitalism & corporate allyship

• What authentic queer storytelling really looks like

• How queer people are reclaiming the narrative in film, TV, and online

Whether you’ve been burned by false promises or are just waking up to how the media plays our identities — this episode offers clarity, healing, and a powerful invitation to rise together and demand real visibility.

🎧 For those who believe in queer justice, media accountability, and community empowerment — this one’s for you.
