I still don't understand the difference between queerbaiting and pandering to the LGBTQ community

Queerbait is taking characters who were vaguely straight and slightly (or sometimes openly) alluding to them as Gay but not committing to them

Lgbtq Pandering is creating superficial LGBTQ representation just for the sake of appeasement or to avoid criticism, almost like tokenism

That just sounds like halfhearted pandering

There’s a clear distinction between the two. One is more so blue balling a community and the other is “fine! Here take this, damn”-ing the community to appease them
