Gay shit I watched

I prefer: goofy silly stories, complex plots and characters, gender-nonconformity, relationship dynamics in which both partners are equal (or at least both have a form of power, whether that be status or physical) and tease each other a lot, wholesomeness and good communication, slow burn, supernatural gimmicks, bright colors, indie productions, angst with a happy ending, queer themes such as found family, self-acceptance, social deviance and allegories for systemic oppression/cisheteronormativity.

I dislike: plots that revolve around nothing but jealousy and miscommunication, plots that take themselves too seriously without actually containing authenticity or depth, plots that follow a standard BL/GL formula without any innovation, sad grey gritty-ness, graphic violence, sex-negativity, consent issues, gore, full nudity, unexamined judgment towards minorities, sad endings. Those'll have lower ratings on average.

If you think you vibe with that, take a look. If not, I'm sure you can find some other list that works for you.

>9 means it's brilliant

>8 I'd def recommend.

7 means it's fun enough, might recommend, but there are no masterpieces here

6 means it's watchable but nothing special, standard fare.

5 means it's got some amount of redeeming qualities, but also issues.

<4 means I kinda hated it

mlm = gay or bi guys in here

wlw = lesbian or bi women in here

trans = trans people in here. I don't count standard comedic relief trans women in Thai shows. They have to actually be a character.

ace = ace and/or aro people in here

gnc = gendernonconforming people in here
