I have seen a lot of queerbaiting (Sherlock, Merlin and Supernatural come to mind) and I do not think SQ was queerbaited in the show. And as you said, they were told many times the answer was no.

My friend has pointed out an occurence in fandom relatively recently, which is the obsession with canon/end game and a belief that just by watching, you are owed something by the writers. A need to prove your ship will be the end game one. And when it is not canon, people feel offended because they feel that they are owed their ship.

Again, not all SQ shippers, I am talking about a faction within the fandom.
