Yeah I think I'll watch this one with my BF ty! :)

Oh I love school settings (preferably university!) because I like them being at a place where its easier to hangout and interact with their friends. Thank you for your reply :)

Its because he's a jerk, makes attacking other things about him easier.

He's kinda a jerk, and a bit homophobic.

Yeah I knew, I KNEW they wouldn't get together but I couldn't help it. So every time there was a "cute" moment between them I drank it in lmao! I mean I had to find my happy moments, altogether I didn't enjoy the series as much as I had others. I had my issues with it, but I already ranted about it lol. Re-reading my OP, I always come off WAY more aggressive than I intend lol!

Haha yeah I'm a total ghost shipper, I do it almost every series I watch :P They did have a great chemistry! But yeah some people get burnt out on the step-bro trope. I don't have issue with it on a moral level as long as there's consent but it does tend to get overdone. I'm not so much triggered by the "incest" since they aren't even blood related and even if they were, its not like they can have children lol! I saw plenty of comments more or less complaining about the non-con.

I don't typically like GMMTV series, so I'm hesitant to watch this one. Is this any good? Like no teacher-student relationships, no "i'm not gay/bi/ect I just love X" bs, no straight side-romances or stuff like that?
*Sorry for the late replies people who responded, i've been super busy.

Li Cheng annoys the crap outta me, I just can't stand his personality or his social positions. Honestly I ship Mu Ren with Xing Si. I know its a ghost ship. I really don't like the writer either, History Series lost their BEST writer and its just not the same anymore.

Ahh yes I had a guy friend like that in high school, he would often say "lesbians are hot but two guys going at it is disgusting". Basically the same exact thing you are talking about. I was in the closet at the time so I just uncomfortably chuckled - looking back I feel bad about doing that. So I completely agree with you there.
Ooo same here I love expanding my knowledge and understanding! Sounds cliche but I really do! It helps to prevent cross-cultural misunderstandings if you learn about a people and how they are culturally, socially, ect so talking with people from other nations is often fun and a benefit.

Its not about feeling safe, its about countering self-righteousness and erasure of descriptive variety/diversity. We are not all the same, similar sometimes, but we are all different. Normal is kinda boring imo, weird is interesting. I'm gay, mixed race, and an atheist (all of these are labels btw). I'm hardly considered NORMAL by the vastly straight, mono-racial and religious world. Nice assumption human but you missed the mark. Abnormality isn't a pejorative. Just because something is normal doesn't make it good and just because something is abnormal doesn't make it bad. Normal just means average, what is typical, usually the case, the majority. It has nothing to do with attributing morality to it, humans do that on their own . Blue eyes are abnormal, does that mean blue-eyed people are bad? Of course not! It doesn't make them good either. Blue eyes is just a description that helps me better understand their appearance. Same with sexuality, helps me to know if I'm gonna get a punch to the face when trying to interact with guys in a romantic way when single. Granted this is a show and I'm playing semantics but not ALL labels are unnecessary lol.

I do think there is crossover with BL and the gay+ community though. I'm a gay guy, I'm attracted to BL because in my country (USA ) surprisingly there isn't a lot (hardly any) LGBT+ content. In fact I didn't even know they made shows about gay+ relationships until about 5 years ago. So maybe other LGBT+ are drawn to it for a similar reason? Perhaps they also live in a nation that doesn't have much of that content or worse where its illegal. Anyways BL has definitely gotten more inclusive over the years and its a shame some people only focus on the negatives. I complain about the negatives too but the good has to be pointed out. When I first started watching BL, nothing made my heart flutter more (other than my BF :P). It was amazing to finally enjoy entertainment that albeit at the time was not as inclusive kinda represent something I could relate to. BL doesn't have to change for me, I like that its naturally expanding to include people like me :)

I like labels, I just don't like labels being used to hurt people. But to describe things? To relate to things? To better understand things? Labels are amazing! We label everything! The stars, the plants, the animals, and ourselves. Names are labels, groups are labels - gender, sexuality, sex, race, religion, ethnicity, capital cities, rivers on a map, brands at a store, articles of clothing, everything everything everything has a label and if not... we delightful humans give it one! Humans love labels, just don't use them to "other" or hurt one another imo. Judge a person based on their actions, not their labels sure, but without labels how would I trace my ancestors? How would I address my family individually? Ooops I called them a family, that's a label hehe! Okay okay I play, but seriously being anti-label doesn't make sense to me... now being anti-discriminatory based on labels, that's something else and I understand that.

Well to be fair you are like me in that your are generally on the offensive. You come out swinging with your words because the passion right? Happens to me so often. I know this is old by now but reading threw this you did seem angry, like gay people are trying to take something away from you. I might be wrong but that was my impression. Truth is, no one is taking anything. Fujoshis aren't stealing our identity/sexuality and we aren't stealing BL. Evolution is just bringing us together.

You are what my fellow countrymen call a crazy person :)

HEAR HEAR!!!

Personally I always find the "i'm not gay, I just like you!" line to be insulting and cringe. I don't speak for all gay people or others of LGBPA+, just for my own gay self lol! I grew up with a lot of homophobia so maybe I'm more sensitive to that kind of dialog but I don't like it. Most of these guys in BL appear to be bisexual (by that I mean the characters not the actors) so maybe they aren't gay, but they aren't straight either. I wish they weren't so ambiguous because it seems gutless or lazy.

Yeah and humans weren't originally intended to go into space. Times change, things change. BL conservatives aren't gonna win in the long run because more and more BL is becoming representative at least to the degree they actually identify with a sexuality. Right now it's just straight and gay, bi also but goes unmentioned and pan / asexual doesn't seem to exist much yet in BL. BUT its changing from what it used to be, a bunch of "straight" guys doing non-straight things.

I KNOW! I thought we were passed this BS. This writer is taking BL back 10 years. An exaggeration but you know what I mean lol :P

And just when I was starting to like this... oh my that last line did NOT sit well with me.

I here for Tri and the twins, they are just too adorable! I am not usually a person who likes polyamory in relationships but this is one I think I can get behind because it seems like it could work out.
