Sigh

It is on its way. You know, Korean culture is very popular among people enchanted with Korean music (Kpop), dramas (Kdrama), movies, fashion, food and beauty standards. A Korean BL, with Kpop idols as male leads, would be a main agent of Korean culture. More people will demand to see their Kpop idols in BLs. Entertainment industries will come to provide diversity and equality as value-added services. The Korean public will become more tolerant of gay people. And the government will have no choice but to recognize gay marriage

That's my prediction

Homophobia is "alive" and well in the Western countries that legalized gay marriage. Most Westerners pee in their diapers every time a fictional character is gay. They cancelled Disney in response to the company’s efforts to add more gay characters. They passed a "Don't Say Gay" bill to ban discussions of sexuality for all students. They sided with bakers who don't design custom wedding cakes for gay couples, etc

Abortion rights are under attack and it's a matter of time before gay marriage rights are

Where there is people, there is homophobia. I would say Korea is homophobic, but they are doing way better than the West

Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Japan are making history. They are the reason gay media picked up and blossomed. With more Korean idols making appearances in BLs, Asia will grow from a regional to a global BL powerhouse that isn't afraid to represent the gay community

Noone asked for your opinion. You're yet another nobody who gets a kick out of putting us or BLs down to feel better about themselves

"All publicity is good publicity"

The only thing worse than being talked about (positively or negatively) is not being talked about. The watered down gay stories are better than nothing. The Korean public talking about the male idols who appeared in BLs is a powerful tool for shaping the cultural understanding of gay people. They are acknowledging our existence. Don't worry, male idols sticking their tongues down each other's throats is where we are headed

"Of course, Zuho is probably gay IRL, like most K-Pop idols, but let's keep pretending otherwise for the sake of Korea's soul"

Why would I pretend otherwise? Most of them are gay IRL. A Korean person who used to work for an agency told me that she saw many idols in gay bars, but she didn't tell me who they were. They have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy

They ARE making a change, even if they don't want to. By making appearances in BLs, they are doing more for the Korean gay community than you ever will

The drama hasn't even aired, and you're talking shit about it. How are you a normal person? The idols are not giving their all NOW. There is such a thing as taking baby steps, and they are taking baby steps

Because they can make a change. They have a fandom. They have influence over the Korean public. A non-idol wouldn't have that influence

"You're a K-Popper"

Duh

Don't listen to this person, dear producers. All they do is talk shit about idols and BLs. Then they get triggered when they are told to wipe that shit

More idols in BLs please

You're not minding your business. If you stop BLs, then you'd be SHOVING your anti-gay agenda down our throats and FORCING us to think the way you do. Someone should stop YOU from brainwashing us
