I figured it was my civic duty to share my disinterest in the article

I'm not the reason homophobes exist. The honor goes to centuries of indoctrination, toxic masculinity, and general lack of sympathy or morality

It was an accusation

"You might as well just stop blocking me"

I don't want to scroll through my notifications, see your name and go "NOPE" every hour

You disagreed with me. I'm free to disagree with you. You questioned my sanity. I question your ability to see the blossoming gay love story that's right in front of your face

The producers aren't required to slap a BL label on it, put out a "wet floor" sign or shout the love story from the rooftops. Implications are the unsaid things, the winks, the glances, the touches, the longing sighs, the "lack of evidence," the helmets

Helping someone with a helmet can be gay and a scene from a romance story. The boys had more chemistry than a high school science lab. Their sexual tension cut through the helmet!

I don't want them to be gay. I need them to be gay. My life depends on it

"Friendships" are boring. The excitement in "friendships" comes from wondering how long it will take for the falling out to happen

Name-calling? Contention? Audacity? My dear, what is this, a dramatic telenovela? Add some gay romance to the drama!

Fiction is a polite word for delusion. The delusion has a fancy hat and a set of rules that we agree to follow

You're delusional. I'm delusional. Everyone else is delusional. I'll be happily delusional about my favorite fictional characters' gay relationship

The "lack of evidence" is a cover-up to hide the gay truth

The thing more "delusional" than my fantasies is the effort you put into defending a fictional "friendship" or "straightness"

Did the producers of Weak Hero officially claim that Shi Eun and Soo Ho are "just friends" or "straight?" They did not. Most producers leave the love lives or sexualities of fictional characters open to interpretation

Looking at the same picture from different angles, the boys are secretly in love

The question was an implicit accusation, casting doubt on the validity of the likes on my comment

"You’re really blocking me and unblocking me?"

What can I say? You're like a mosquito. Impossible to ignore

I know reading can be a struggle for some people, I'll help you

"I don’t understand why your comment has 6 likes. Are you liking your comments on other accounts or something?"

There, I quoted you. You did accuse me of liking my comments

Does being crazy mean not fitting into your narrow idea of what's normal? Then I'm proud to be a unique, crazy blend of creative genius and unconventional thoughts

Haha, no worries! I figured you must have had a change of heart

It wasn't rude, you were playing devil's advocate. Besides, playing devil's advocate is part of a debate. I'll take your deleted comment as a compliment to my persuasive skills

Where did your comment go?

I don't relate to straight stories. And I don't agree with the 5-10% statistic. That's the tip of the iceberg. I believe everyone else is closeted and on the spectrum somewhere

For the sake of our conversation, I'll roll with 5%

The global population is approximately 8 billion. 5% of 8 billion equates to 400 million people. There should be at least 400 million BLs. It's evident that the current number of available BLs (hundreds or thousands) falls short of the 400 million mark. The claim that BL has "exceeded its allotment" is mathematically incorrect

BLs capturing the hearts and minds of "straight" identifying women is a win for gay people. We'll see a surge in BL in the future, and an ever-growing fanbase of diverse audiences

Isn't it fascinating that you accused me of liking my comments, when your comment received a like within 16 minutes of posting?

I'm the sane person here. Blocking you was a rational response. You're welcome

I read the title

You're going all out with the ad hominem fallacies (ableist attacks against my intelligence) and "I'm not homophobic, but ..." excuses, aren't you?

Where's the evidence that you're not homophobic? Having a token gay friend isn't evidence. Did you conduct a peer-reviewed study to determine the percentage of the "straight" identifying people not harboring explicit homophobic beliefs? Is there a mind-reading device to gauge their implicit biases? No?

"Straight" identifying people preach about equality until a fictional character is gay or same-sex relationships extend beyond "just friendship." Their tolerance is superficial. I'll assume every "straight" identifying person is homophobic until proven otherwise. Better safe than sorry

Life/existence is a joke. I'm not thrilled to be here. But I've got to be the joke's punchline. My mission is twofold: spark gay enlightenment and defeat "straight" identifying people. Can't do that from six feet under

We've reached the end of our conversation. I'm not finding your comments fresh or compelling. Time to call it a day/night

"... you wouldn't even be in this life"

And that would have been a good thing! I wouldn't have to worry about paying bills, adulting, or dealing with people like you!

Everything should be gay. The world should be one giant, fabulous gay party. Free of "procreation," the species would cherish the ephemeral nature of life and its finite time on the planet

All "straight" identifying people are homophobic. Their homophobia ranges from explicit, deliberate actions to implicit, subconscious biases

90% is a bit harsh. I'd say 0% is waffle, with the remaining 100% being pure genius

Reading about celebrity dating lives or baby bumps is on par with having a wisdom tooth pulled with rusty pliers. No thanks. I'm not handing out congratulations or gold stars for this stuff

Bless your heart, you sweet summer child. You're too darn polite and nice for me to fight with

Sex/gender does matter in a love story. Men and women are different. Would you say chocolate and vanilla ice cream are the same? They are both frozen desserts. But we can like vanilla ice cream (gay story) and dislike chocolate ice cream (straight story). I hope you can see our perspective

Generalizations are sometimes true. The claim that "straight" identifying people enjoy a position of unearned privilege and exhibit discriminatory behavior towards gay people is a valid generalization. We have personal experience, historical evidence and a sufficiently large sample to generalize to a larger population. Statistics does it routinely. A poll might survey a small percentage of people in a region to make predictions about the entire population

Generalizations are a part of how we make sense of the world around us. Without the ability, we would have to assess every single person or event separately. It would be time-consuming and inefficient

Have you seen Jin Man's resilience? No matter how many times he gets knocked down, he keeps coming back for more. He's definitely not gone

Jin Man is "Parent of the Year." Ji Ahn is "Brat of the Year"

Counseling or talking about feelings is overrated. Real family therapy happens in the dojo, where you punch and kick your problems away

Rain doesn't hurt anyone. It was nature giving Ji Ahn a free shower

Who wants to know the details of their parents' tragic demise? I wouldn't

Coaxing his niece into learning self-defense is next-level parenting. If she can dodge a boy, she can dodge a bullet!

You call the Assassin-Student family dynamic "dangerous" or "skewed." I call it "character-building"
