A new and different type of queerbaiting that arose with the creation of canon f/f ships in which the pairing is overly hyped by the crew/media, is said to play a big part in the story, thus baiting queer people into being attached to the show, and ends up being sidelined (often to favour a new straight couple).

me: dude, it was so hyped up and now it’s been totally sidelined, classic case of neo queerbaiting.
