…Wat. Dean is VERY straight and Castiel is an amorphous asexual agender “beyond human comprehension” concept possessing a human body. Just because Jimmy the dude he’s possessing is a dude doesn’t make it a dude. That’s been a thing the whole series with demons swapping from male/female bodies and seducing people in both. Cas doesn’t have a gender, or sex, or preference. Did tumblr go THAT fucking crazy over gay sex in supernatural they turned an agender asexual philosophical embodiment of an idea into a romantic love symbol? Holy reaching, Batman. Literally
Also I got to like, two seasons before the end, I think
Have you tried entertaining the thought that you’re expecting things where they don’t logically make sense? If you want a real example of queen baiting look at The Magicians. It had one of the most emotional deepest bonding episodes between two of the male main characters who -

lived an entire life together, decades, kids, I sobbed. And then they killed one of them right before they could get together. THATS the shit you should be upset about. Not this weird ass very clearly fanfiction between a straight man and an asexual.
Here’s a good breakdown of The Last Great American Queerbait (yes that’s a nickname for Supernatural): https://youtu.be/-Q0eX9Rrah0

Haven’t seen Supernatural but Traegert says the character is ace and that makes me feel the need to weigh in. It’s not queerbaiting if the character they don’t make gay after all is canonically ace. Putting them in a gay relationship would be ace erasure, and would be acebaiting. Sure, maybe it’s gaybaiting, but revealing a gay-coded character is actually ace doesn’t in any way diminish the amount of queer in the show.
Okay are these the explicitly “I love and want to fuck you, a woman, because I am a straight heterosexual man” kind of love interests, or are you just interpreting them that way?

If you watched that many seasons and you didn’t see the Castiel and Dean queerbaiting, you are never going to see queerbaiting

Really funny that you bring up The Magicians actually because Sera Gamble was a showrunner in both shows #girlBoss #queerbaitingQueen
I REALLY REALLY wanted Q and Eli to get together at the end. Fucking peaches and plums man

The character is not canonically ace, he has several love interests but some people interpret him as ace
