Since one man can produce millions of sperm, they probably have them stored in a sperm bank from the men who are still left. Since they mostly do IVF, they would only need a few sample of sperm and inject it to the egg to form an embryo.

Is this still happening?

He pretended he was heartbroken to distract his friends from beating Pat up.

To be fair, no clear consent was given. Birdy was clearly not ready to have a sexual encounter with Jia Han. However, we can't discount how that's how a lot (NOT ALL) have experienced their first gay sexual encounter, at least for me and friends who have shared their experiences with me. It's almost always you feeling in denial at the start. With that said, yes, that scene did depict sexual abuse, at the same time, Birdy's sexual awakening. The scene was not placed there for the sake of depicting rape/sexual abuse. It played an important role for Birdy to realize that he really did have sexual feelings towards Jia Han.

Yeah I hope he survives or at least one of the videos got sent and the police are investigating cause otherwise, his storyline would be so underwhelming.

Yeah it just feels underwhelming how they hyped up the Anti-Gifted and then just move on from it just like that.

Someone wrote on the Youtube comment section that future Grace comes back to the present and alters the timeline depending on what happens in her timeline. Like how she told Time and Third to look for Nate, and then came back again to the present to escape when in her timeline, the Director found them. She also said, non-verbatin, how she realized that Pang can't do it alone, so she told Ohm about what's going to happen. Idk how to explain it properly. Hahaha

I really like how the story is going, but I just can't move past this. So Korn's just back to normal? Are we just supposed to move on from him being an "Anti-Gifted"? I thought he was only manipulated by the Director to spreading the virus to the new gifted students. Or was he also manipulated to start the "Anti-Gifted"? Am I the only one whose wondering?

Cause they're married. Just kidding.

No, they checked. Just a coincidence.

Who trusted the Director after EP8? No one..

Bad for teens that are struggling with their sexual identity??? The show is exactly relatable in so many ways by people who are struggling with their sexuality.

You call what your doing a critique to the show? If you don't like it that much, then stop watching it. You can literally mute GSP on Twitter for all you want. Bye!

Wow, you're all here fetishizing boys' love. You keep claiming that it's your story, but it's not. Stop fetishizing our love, our struggles, and our identity for you to gush over. We are not objects for you to fetishize. How do you think misrepresentation is a support towards LGBTQ+? Misrepresentation leads to more discrimination to our community. It portrays us as rapists who have no self control. It portrays us as a trap where we're portrayed as people who trick straight people into falling in love with us. It may be just a fantasy for you, but this misrepresentation literally brings our community down further.

Filipino BL shows are trying to veer towards better representation. Real world issues need real world solutions? This is one of them. We are normalizing the LGBT community within media. We are trying to showcase that there is nothing wrong with being queer. Misrepresentation, as you "yaoi-purists" are doing, does not help our cause.

Fiction literally influences how people are in reality. You keep trying to separate the two just to satisfy your fetish. Fiction can literally shape or reinforce one's opinion on certain things. This is exactly why we need proper representation!

We should thank you? Okay, thank you that boys' love is now in mainstream media. Thank you that these tropes are now part of BL shows. Thank you for misrepresenting us in so many ways. Now, if you don't mind, we're taking back our story. If you want to stick to your old ways, Philippine BLs are not what you're looking for.

And the way you just body shamed Aki just to fit your fetish! Facepalm.

So you don't like Karl's character because he's too gay to be straight? Do you see the irony in your logic??

And where did you get this conspiracy that people who don't agree with your comment are part of the production team? Facepalm.

His actions are exactly what you expect for this character. He is still struggling with himself, so that's why he's afraid of saying the word "gay". Yes, this character, too, has internalized homophobia but is on his path to discovering himself.

Your internalized homophobia is off the charts. I would skip your comment if it weren't so ignorant. So what if Karl is more feminine? Gender expression =/= sexual orientation. Yes, Karl is on his journey to self-discovery of his sexual orientation, but the way he expresses himself is separate from that.

I'm curious, would you like Yuth (Tay's character) to actually be dead?

I think UWMA is one, but I don't totally agree with the OP. I really do hate the wifey endearment. Jim, first said wifey, but changed it to "asawa" after that. "Asawa" is a gender neutral term to refer to husband and wife, so I wished they subbed it to something gender neutral too like better half or spouse, or just make it hubby. I do hope they don't fall into stereotyping effeminate men into being the "wife" and such. I'm starting to enjoy PH BL more than Thai BL since they're moving away from stereotypes, and I hope this show follows suit.

Wow, not the same features =/= ugly. Hahaha

I'm thinking they casted Lee to play as young Supot to make his character more likeable. From what the latest episode showed, I think they're trying to make him look like he is good, but it's too early to tell what his real intentions are.

I agree with both of you. It's just disappointing that others don't see it. They think that Type's aggressive behavior towards Tharn justifies his actions. They also say that Tharn realizes his mistake and takes care of Type, which is great, but is not the point of why people hate what he did. There was no consent when Type was drunk on his bed. There was no consent when they were in the shower. It may seem like Type enjoyed it, but no means no, and not saying anything, does not mean he agrees.

It doesn't matter what Type was or wasn't feeling at any of those moments. It doesn't matter that the show was not able to convey the timeframe properly. Consent should be verbalized, which was not seen in both situations. The fact that the show was not able to highlight this greatly affects people's perspective on sexual abuse.

Tharn, also being a victim of sexual abuse, does not justify anything he did after that. Type's aggressive behavior to Tharn, does not justify what Tharn did. They are both abusive, no arguments with that. Sexual abuse is sexual abuse, so I don't really understand how you see that as an excuse to Tharn's behavior.

Also, that shower scene was NOT consensual. Type did not consent at all. He may looked like he enjoyed it, but there was still no consent. No means no. Actually, we should change this. It should be yes means yes, meaning, if the person did not say yes, then it's not consensual at all.

On that note, I did enjoy watching their character development, but I cannot just ignore what happened before they reached that point. I also can't ignore how the show just brushes off sexual assault like it's not a big deal.


EDIT: Sorry, I know it's been weeks, but I just saw this now, and I can't just ignore it.
