It’s similar for the bl fandom, and I’ve seen TONS of examples, even on this website. I too was confused when I discovered years ago that there are people who watch bl and are homophobic.

I wasn’t expecting someone to reply to a 2-4 years old thread, but anyway. I don’t know if you’ve read the whole conversation, but I doubt that the other user is okay with the ban. Unfortunately the fetishization of gay relationships exists, and it may not bother you, but it is a problem and I’m not going to explain why because it’s a complicated matter and I don’t feel comfortable discussing about it lightly in a comment. I suggest you read up on the matter. I personally enjoy watching a lot of lgbtq+ content of any genre and rating, and bl for me is just a part of it. And there’s nothing wrong in pointing out issues in the series or in the fandom. I’m glad that the other user gave me the opportunity to clear up my position, since I didn’t realize it could be read that way, because there are actually people who dislike a bl series/movie if they don’t see an intimate scene between the characters, it’s like they want to get turned on and don’t see gay people as humans with rights. But also the other way around, like you said, some people are actually homophobic and like bl as long as it stays aways from intimacy. Why do you think in kpop for example, bromance and fanservice between the members of a group is extremely popular, but the moment someone comes out as a member of the lgbt community the majority of the fandom turns on them and their career is over? It’s fetishization and it stems in homophobia.
This is so well done. So much was told in just 15 minutes. Very heartbreaking, but hopeful at the same time. I love how these short movies have always something unexpected to them.
Wth Mek was in the right until he cheated… They really treated it as if it was nothing wow… what a strange ending. Also, Mek shouldn’t have spoken about his relationship with Balloon to that girl because he basically outed him and that’s wrong. Episode 3 had such a cute start and then turned into a mess. Boun and Prem still have amazing chemistry, love them. P.S. Ozone is so adorable, I didn’t expect him to be Balloon’s younger brother. Loved Earth and Prem’s scenes together too.
Maybe I should’ve written a few reasons and pointed out some aspects that I enjoyed, but they could’ve asked me… I guess it wouldn’t have mattered anyway to a person like that.
Episode 4 was definitely better than the previous ones. I like how Aek is not a pushover and expresses when he’s uncomfortable about something. Aue was being way too pushy about everything, to the point of coming across as a bit creepy imo, so I’m glad that Aek spoke up and didn’t just go along, like what often happens to characters in other series.
I love his smile too <3

The second episode is so sweet

Does anyone know who’s the director of this series?
