Glad someone has common sense. Love you too my loves🥰❤️ This person is literally arguing just to argue.

Thanks for saving me time to skip this.

🤣🤣🤣😭😭

Congrats on catching a slip-up no one cared about, you really showed me. If nitpicking grammar is the only way you think you’re winning this, that’s actually hilarious. You’re not here to debate, you’re just desperate to feel smart. Try harder.

Oh please, don’t twist my words just because you're pressed. I said what I said. If you want to act like Top Form’s rating isn’t heavily boosted by the NC scenes, that’s your delusion to live in. Don’t come at me trying to nitpick when you're clearly just mad someone didn’t worship your favorite show.

Oh spare me the faux outrage. Let’s get something straight:

Agreeing SOME fans prioritize NC scenes ≠ calling ALL fans superficial. If you can’t grasp basic nuance, that’s a you problem.

NC scenes objectively boost visibility, this isn’t opinion, it’s industry reality:

KinnPorsche’s Episode 7 NC scene sparked 280K+ tweets in 24hrs (Twitter), while The Eighth Sense (critically adored, minimal NC) peaked at 11K tweets.

Love in the Air (NC-heavy) has 45K MDL votes; A Shoulder to Cry On (emotional, no NC) has 12K despite similar ratings (kisskh).

GagaOOLala’s 2023 data shows smut-heavy trailers get 3x more clicks than plot-driven ones (Source).

Your counterexamples ignore context:

Yes, I Feel You Linger in the Air (minimal NC) succeeded—because its historical drama and cinematography were exceptional. That’s the exception, not the rule.

Meanwhile, Only Friends (high NC) trended for 9 days straight; Moonlight Chicken (low NC) only 2 days (Trendinalia).

You’re conflating ratings with hype:

Cherry Magic (no NC) took 6 months to hit 10K MDL reviews; TharnType (NC-driven) did it in 3 weeks.

BL Awards’ “Most Anticipated” lists are dominated by high-smut shows (2023 Polls).

So no, I never said smut = automatic high ratings. I said it disproportionately drives engagement and a fact backed by data. If you’d rather scream ‘misinterpretation!’ than address evidence, that’s your choice.

But don’t pretend this is about ‘defending queer media.’ It’s about your refusal to acknowledge how the industry actually works.

We’re done here. Next time, come with receipts and not hurt feelings. 👋

😭😭

Ah yes, the classic ‘I’m not attacking you’ while aggressively misrepresenting someone’s argument. Charming. Let’s recap:

You accused me of insulting fans (I didn’t).

You claimed I said NC scenes are the only factor in ratings (I didn’t).

You implied I ‘look down’ on queer romance (absurd).

When called out, you now pretend I’m the one being defensive? Cute. If you wanted a discussion, you could’ve engaged with what I actually said instead of inventing positions to rage against. But since you’ve made it clear facts won’t sway you, this ‘pointless’ conversation ends here. Enjoy your outrage. 💅

Let me clarify since you're determined to misrepresent my position. When I noted Top Form's ratings benefited from NC scenes, I never claimed those scenes were the sole factor nor did I dismiss other elements like chemistry or plot. You're arguing against a strawman.

As for the 'superficial' comment: I agreed that some viewers prioritize steam over substance (a demonstrable trend in fan spaces), not that all BL fans do. If you've never seen a show get hyped solely for NC while deeper works fly under the radar, we're clearly in different corners of the fandom.

I appreciate your passion for defending the genre, but conflating critiques of industry patterns with 'looking down on queer romance' is disingenuous. We can advocate for BL's value and acknowledge its flaws like how NC can overshadow quieter, nuanced stories.

That said, I agree production value and character development matter. But let's not pretend NC scenes don't also drive engagement disproportionately. Data doesn't care about feelings.

If you want to discuss this in good faith, I'm here. But twisting my words into absolutes ('only care about steamy scenes') isn't it.

O hope Pete is not bad but we do not know Pete is about to combust when he a=saw Way/Chris his crush is alive.

I feel like Pete knows that Chris is Way and lied to the others. I think he is more involved in this. Or involved since the beginning.
