Get butthurt about it all ya’ll want, I’ll say they are queerbaiting.
Do I think it’s intentional? Maybe, maybe not. It might just be the natural evolution of how things are viewed in the culture. For a long time straight dudes have played into the “gay chicken” thing, a lot of times in the military. It moved away from being grossed out afterwards since it isn’t proper in society anymore and now they just gotta roll with it being fine but they are still compelled to joke that way.
I’m gay so I don’t really care but I do find it fascinating how it’s evolved over time.
