Dang, you dropped the mic with that burn 👏

It's good to know that someone cares enough about my existence to wish for its speedy demise! I'm not invisible, yay!

Adaptations generally preserve "straight" themes, and alter or remove gay themes. This imbalance or disproportionate censorship of gay original works isn't a coincidence. This is a symptom of a homophobic society

"... and that's OKAY"

You might want to check your homophobia-meter. It's off the charts

"... remakes and adaptations are supposed to change some things"

Great, let's turn every "straight" story into a passionate gay story and watch the world burn

Appreciating hard work is noble. Appreciating good work is nobler. If someone spends hours creating a mess, we are not obliged to be grateful or call it art

The BL community didn't rot our brains. It gave us a sweet tooth for good work and well-crafted stories. Homophobic censorship is the cavities that ruin the fun

Taking out the "gay" from a gay story is the literary equivalent of drinking decaf coffee. Bland, just bland

You know what else is good for celebrities' careers? Talent and hard work. Paparazzi provide fodder for tabloid magazines and gossip websites. They aren't essential to the functioning of the entertainment industry

"Paparazzi keep celebrity stalkers in check"

And mosquitoes keep bug spray companies in business. Doesn't mean we should celebrate their existence

Young people don't need to know every aspect of a celebrity's life to be inspired. They can learn from interviews and public appearances

The legal system can address criminal behavior. A ban on paparazzi wouldn't limit the flow of relevant information. It would remove the invasive practices used to obtain private information

I see what you mean! Our hearts are temporarily on loan to the adaptation. It's in dire need of passion and soul

It's a real-life mystery

People don't resist celebrity gossip and drama. Some of us are wise to the game and don't get caught up in the clown show, though

"Dating" is one of the most enjoyable and exciting times of our lives? That's news to me! I thought "dating" was a never-ending rollercoaster of awkward first dates, ghosting, and decoding confusing text messages

Most celebrity "relationships" are PR stunts and the "excitement" is in the tabloids. Pick a couple that's not trying to sell you a new perfume

YOU got a point

Paparazzi are the creepy ex who can't take a hint. They follow you everywhere, hide in bushes, and know when you're eating a messy burrito to snap a photo of you mid-bite and make you look like a rabid chipmunk

But seriously, it is stalking. Celebrities shouldn't be hunted down by the paparazzi for sport

There's a difference between taking a quick photo and chasing someone down the street with a camera

The legal definition of "stalking" that you provided doesn't consider the impact of paparazzi behavior on the mental health of subjects

There are broader definitions of "stalking" that refer to any unwanted following, watching, or harassing of someone. The behavior of paparazzi is synonymous with stalking, and anti-stalking laws should address the issue

Celebrities aren't just people, they are public properties and objects of fascination. Who they "date" is irrelevant

No one has a right to be in a relationship. A relationship is a privilege, much like getting the window seat on a long flight. Celebrity "relationships" would be the First Class version of this privilege. It's glitz and glamour on the surface, and deep down, it's two people who will break up in a few months and write a hit single about it

I'm not a fan

You're complaining about us complaining. That's some next-level complaining

The author's permission doesn't absolve them or the adapters from the responsibility to respect and represent gay stories. The negative impact of straightwashing goes beyond the individual creator's "choices"

Authors are selling their souls for a few extra bucks. They don't care about our opinions, and we don't care about theirs. We'll keep on complaining and strutting down the runway of righteous outrage

Celebrities "date" and create a buzz around it to stay relevant, promote their upcoming projects or bury news coverage of [insert political issue]

Hope their "relationship" goes down faster than a bad Tinder match

Anti-shippers are toxic and deranged. They should take a break from fandoms, book a one-way ticket to therapy town and let go of their obsession with shippers

Mew, the celebrity who took a bite out of the fame apple and spat it out at his devoted fans

Celebrities made a career out of pretending to be other people (acting). They get paid to be delusional on stage, and they call shippers delusional? Shipping is the price they pay for turning themselves into a public spectacle

Dance with fame, expect a shipping tango

Two celebrities "dating." How ... original. You'd think with their money and fame, they'd be able to cook up a juicier headline

I'm with you. Gay stories deserve to be told as they were intended

"im sick gn"

Make sure to take care of yourself and get some rest. A good night's sleep can do wonders
