So she made a massive post about her feels on the episode
She called the Lyra and Sweetie Drops thing 'queerbaiting'.
Jesus Christ-- it's a kids show. Any sort of possibly sexual relationship in a pony show would be confusing to a kid. Hetero or not. The 'canon' relationships are one married couple, and now another newly married couple.Married couples are just something young kids understand more, and that's the formula Hasbro is going with. There are some crushes, but those are unfulfilled and meant to relate to kids with crushes.
That being said, I love the term 'queerbait' now, it is hilarious. I've only heard it offensively, and seeing someone use in a 'serious' context...
I think I'm gonna rename my cat queerbait.
I'm bi/half gay so it's totally ok anyone else who says queerbait is a cishet privileged whitey.
