I feel like the lesbian undertones are really there. They definitely like each other; later into the game Queenie holds Hero in her arms in her "get this body out of my throne room" animation. 

I think the slow animations are so that the game proceeds as intended. Queenie's unresponsive attacks are exactly how Hero is able to eventually win. The point is that her loss is, eventually, inevitable. 

If her attacks were more responsive, they'd have to script Hero's victory, and that wouldn't be as good.
