Sorry I forgot to mention that with the 10 year age gap thing that more only applies to entertainment and partially to real life for me. I know I said real life but that was an oversimplification of my actual stance and too strict. Like if a 25 year old gets with a 40 year old I don't think that's wrong or something, I just wouldn't be interested in their story lol. If I don't like a certain thing in entertainment, I might complain about it in a comment from time to time but I'm not trying to attack people who do enjoy it.

I mean if I really thought about it I probably could come up with why exactly I don't like it. For imbalance of dynamics, mainly its because one party lacks agency and I don't like people feeling pressured or forced into things, I like liberty and free will. As for age gaps, that's mainly an aesthetic thing, I don't think its inherently wrong unless one of them is underage. My standard for age gaps is 10 years in real life, 5 years preferably for entertainment for my own max enjoyment. If someone is a teen (under 20), then my standard is more strict. If one under 20, and the person they get with who is 20 or above but could have gone to high school at the same time (max of 4 year age gap) then I'm okay with that.
By imbalanced dynamics I mean I don't like certain tropes, Boss/Employee, Student/Teacher, Master/Slave, Doctor/Patient, Lord/Peasant, ect. I'm currently in a relationship lol.
2 years is different than 10, why is murder more serious than manslaughter? Because of degree. And because I love semantics, I also love precision.
*Oh and I know different places have different ages of consent so I just consider 13-19 as teenagers because teen is literally in the number lol. My state the AOC is 16, too low imo but it is what it is.

Some of these things you mentioned are legit wrong and crimes but yeah I mean having them in a drama isn't inherently bad. Its when its promoted or show positively that it becomes a problem (the crime stuff at least). Then there's personal taste, I don't like power-imbalance or age-gaps because I don't like them. Young with young, old with old, because that's what superficially looks good and right to me and since entertainment I seek is for personal enjoyment, I'm allowed to be picky. Also us Americans might have a few moral hang-ups but so does every culture. PDA is much more okay here than in like Korea or Japan. That said, I don't think things should be banned or considered bad or wrong just because I don't like them personally and I don't advocate for censorship, I freaking hate censorship lol.
I really hate perverted teachers that try to get with their students, freaking gross. Non I don't completely blame, he was groomed and felt he had no choice, still not right cheating on his boyfriend. Jin continues to be my favorite, despite him getting heartbroken, drunk and angry then doing what he did with the video, I don't think I would have done any better in that situation. If some teacher was like that I'd expose them too, freaking creep. Oh well, Jin and ex-boyfriend are no longer safe imo. I hope teacher gets fired and goes to jail, or dies lol. Tee is the worst of all, he set all this crap in motion, he deserves the WORST fate! Por got what he deserved, Top needs some justice done to him to and that coward tag along Glasses guy (forget his name) as well. Only Jin and Phee seem justified in their indignation. If Non's still alive and getting revenge, I hope he at least spares the two guys who loved him. As for White, he's a total wild card, I have no idea how he connects so far aside from being Tee's current boyfriend. If Non is actually dead, then I have no idea who's behind it - if its creepy teacher then that's going to ruin the whole show for me, he's not a hero and I'll never accept that homewrecking pervert as one. Jin needs new friends, at least he consistently stands up for Non but now, I think he's too disappointed in Non to care. At least the teacher is good looking but still, that doesn't make it any more right, just easier to stomach. Abuse of authority, imbalanced power dynamics, coercion and grooming a desperate and vulnerable boy, freaking predator red flag POS. LOL if you can see, I don't like teacher haha! But don't get me wrong, TEE is the WORST!
I don't feel sorry for the homophobe in the slightest, I hate homophobes with a passion of hatred. Nope you aren't gonna flip the narrative on me, when I commit to backing a character nothing will deter me, Koon get with Qatar and burn the world together! Evil Koon? Bring it! Take out the murderers Dexter!
I ship Jin and Non (small age gap cuz I know Barcode is a youngen). You all think Jin is sus because he's nice but doesn't do anything? Yeah, I was like that in school too, nice but didn't really confront my a-hole friends, why? Peer pressure. Throwing Jin into your vengeance pool is an overreaction and vindictive until we got all the info. White or Phi might be Non's bro, I agree. I'm personally thinking its Phi.
Well the age gap seems to be fake (actors are actually close in age) so that's good, but teacher/student meh I think I'll pass, I don't like boss/employee or doctor/patient either lol. I hope Japan does some actiony/sci fi/fantasy BL, that would be awesome! No one ever does fantasy BL, I want gay elves!
Zee annoys me not only with his straightness (kind of joking but I don't watch BL for straight couples) but also how he doesn't give a crap about Sprite liking First and seems completely okay ruining it despite knowing his brother likes the guy. Why did he have to recover?
