queerbaiting

A term used by those who fantasise obsessively over the fictional characters Sherlock and John from the BBC show, writing and reading erotic homosexual fanfiction and fan art, and threatening to commit suicide if the fictional characters don't end up having sex by a certain episode. Often the term is used by teenagers who can't cope with their emotions, their newfound sexuality, and becoming a sane and responsible adult.

Also likely to enter a relationship and threaten to kill themselves if the other half leaves them.

Moftiss are queerbaiting. How dare they? I don't care if Mark Gatiss is homosexual, he's still homophobic and it's all his fault I need therapy for a suicide attempt.
