The same people advocating for respecting celebrities' privacy and "minding our own business" rush to fawn over celebrity children born with silver spoons in their mouths. They hand out applause for people performing primal acts and multiplying. Might as well launch a global campaign to applaud the ability to breathe, blink, sneeze, or chew gum next

I'm not always glued to my screen. Depending on the day, you might catch me offline, living a busy life, or online, flexing my keyboard warrior muscles

This isn't a recipe for success. It's a case study in how far producers and consumers go to avoid telling gay stories
Society cowers in fear at the sight of gay relationships' refusal to conform, to produce, to follow the "straight" script. No vagina, no womb, no pregnancy, no mindless minions for the system to use and abuse, no script. Gay relationships break free from the shackles of heteronormative expectations
Societal tolerance of "queerness" is limited to the kind that adheres to expectations. Uncomfortable with a relationship that isn't defined by female body parts and childbearing, society disregards the nuances of male-on-male lovemaking, its different paths to pleasure, or the necessity for tender care during penetration
The omegaverse genre was born out of society's pathetic desire to make sense of gay relationships in a "straight" context. Omegaverse and its derivatives, gender bender, "mpreg," and "intersex" fetishization, convert one of the two men in a gay relationship into a woman, disguise her with a male exterior to maintain the illusion of masculinity, and advertise the "straightness" as gay or BL
Whether an omega takes the lead or follows, tops or bottoms, she's a woman wearing the guise of a man. Omegaverse is a complete departure from reality and BL
BL isn’t a maternity ward, and GL isn’t a frat party. Gay stories stop being gay the moment the body parts or abilities of the opposite sex are forced into them. They become irrelevant and unworthy of being told. Every dollar spent on the pseudo-BLs fans call "omegaverse" is a dollar withheld from true BLs that deserve resources and a platform
"Being part of the police doesn’t automatically mean that someone is good-hearted and wants to uphold justice"
The vigilante's actions were a response to the inaction or complicity of the "justice" system
Laws are weapons for the rich and powerful. Left in the hands of the corrupt, lazy, or cowardly, they risk becoming empty gestures with no substance. True justice demands that someone operate outside that broken framework, not to create disorder, but to restore order. That’s the role the vigilante played. He saw criminals walking free, and he wanted to enforce the justice no one else would
Interesting article, I have only seen two of the dramas listed. Two points I would like to add:1. Nobody starts…
"Learn to forgive and let go. Your life will be much better in the long run if you forgive and let go"
Healing isn’t synonymous with forgetting past transgressions. Some people find that healing begins when the harm is recognized and those responsible are held accountable for their actions
"You can pursue justice and have forgiven at the same time"
Forgiveness is used to suppress or invalidate anger in response to injustice. It's a hindrance to justice
"Revenge ≠ justice"
Revenge is an individual's pursuit of justice outside the artificial boundaries of legal systems that fall short or prove ineffective
"You may not see them, the wrongdoer may not fully notice but will never be truly at ease until they repent"
You're assuming they have a conscience. Most of them sleep just fine
Yayy I literally can't wait to watch it also thank you for saying 💗 💓
"... and they hired a Hollywood team"
That's classic Hollywood move. They take a pile of trash (e.g., omegaverse) and add glitter to it. It's still trash, but now it's going to be shiny to lure consumers into eating it
I don't understand why it was called as a scandal. Two young adults dated and later broke up. It's normal. They…
"I still think that they were forced to break up because of all the pressure and toxicity"
Celebrity relationships are more of a business arrangement than a relationship. The pressure celebrities feel is to maintain these arrangements long enough for their PR teams to milk them for what they're worth
Ji Min (Karina) and Jae Wook's arrangement stopped generating headlines or (negative, positive) publicity, and they decided to move on. That's my guess
I don’t understand why there always have to be a second gay couple in bl’s. It’s not realistic that everyone…
Media is glutted with straight stories, bursting at the seams. And you want more of them in gay stories? Don't be greedy, your straight addiction is showing
nah, screw them , nobody gaf about edgy couple, if there's no season 2, then it's a good thing to never include…
"Finally someone with brain cells"
Only someone with brain cells on a permanent vacation would both question others' intelligence for disagreeing with them and maintain faith that a drama surfacing after years in limbo will drop a second season
sunwoo and yoodahm are trash couple anw, i remember the manhwa fans were so mad the more they got chapters and…
"... we literally celebrated during casting reveal that they won't be there"
"We?" Who's "we?" I don’t remember being invited to your so-called "celebration." Most of us weren't celebrating
"... sunwoo and yoodahm are trash couple anw"
You’ve got it backwards. The second gay couple isn't trashy. You're showing up with trashy opinions and turning the gay couple into a punching bag for your poor taste

I'm happy forgiveness worked for you
Sometimes, closure looks like forgiveness. Other times, it looks like calculated, proportional revenge. I respect both

Your "heterophobia" allegation encouraged me to unleash my disdain for the heteronormative and be proud of it
I’m going to be #HeterophobicAndProud right there with you
