Queerbaiting: Pretending or hinting that you may be LGBT+, in order to trick people into liking you more, or to pay more attention to you or your work. Sometimes this is a way to try to get LGBT+ fans, sometimes it's trying to get straight people who think LGBT+ people/acts are sexy.

Arc, as in story arc of a tv show or book series: So, it's for a set period of time, and then they move on, not really acknowledging again.

Pop acts have done this a lot.

People generally look down on pretending to be a minority for financial gain.
