Okay, so all that debate we had was mostly because I misunderstood what you were saying. I reread your replies and honestly I wouldnāt have been able to understand your reasoning at all if you hadnāt explained it in your last comment. Iām sorry if I offended you. In my defence, I really thought you were referring to the people replying to that specific post and not to general comments defending Lu Feng and what he does. That really is messed up.
Just saw it, and I'm literally screaming ššš
Girl, where I live, 6 p.m. China time is literally in like three and a half hours! I already postponed my appointments at work for today (thank God I didnāt have many), and Iāve been searching everywhere like a mad woman trying to find out where weāll be able to watch it. It seems like theyāre gonna upload it through some private Chinese streaming link first and release it later on a platform for international fans or something like that, the Weibo translations arenāt the best. Times like this make me wish I knew Mandarin š¤£

Honestly, I do find those kinds of comments a bit off, maybe because I donāt really like it when characters like that get romanticized. I enjoy the chaos, the drama, and the intrigue that these shows bring, but I definitely donāt excuse their actions in any way. I guess Iām just tired of seeing people being judged for enjoying these kinds of stories, as if we were kids who canāt tell fiction from real life.

Those were some of your words that clearly come across as moral policing of other peopleās perspectives. Your last comment feels like it came from a completely different person. I donāt know what to say to youā¦

Girl, you keep writing dissertations about āmedia literacyā while proving in real time that you have none š Nobody is confusing fiction with reality here except YOU. Youāre the one acting like people enjoying a fictional toxic relationship means theyāre out here endorsing crimes IRL. Thatās actually insane. And the āmurder has narrative logic but SA doesnātā take might genuinely be one of the dumbest things Iāve read today š So murder is acceptable storytelling because YOU personally approve the motive? Revenge and survival suddenly make it classy? Spare me. You also keep saying āIām focusing on the storyā while completely ignoring the actual genre conventions of dark BL and toxic fiction in general. These stories are literally built around obsession, control, possessiveness and morally fucked-up dynamics. Thatās the point. People watch for the intensity and drama, not because theyāre taking relationship advice from fictional psychos.

Exactly! At this point theyāre more obsessed with these stories than the actual fans š¤£Like damn, if something makes you that miserable, just stop consuming it and move on. Meanwhile Iāll just sit back and watch the chaos unfold when LF kidnaps Xiao Chen š
Really? What makes you think so? Did they ever sound any more certain to you because to me they've been vague…
I've seriously turned into one of those Chinese fans in the comments who analyze every single movement and glance in actors' interviews 𤣠I blame XiZhao and their insane chemistry/aura for this! Full delulu mode on: hear me out. Go watch that statement again and pay attention to the way Yanzhao looks at Changxi when he says we're getting a second season. Doesn't it feel like he's warning him with his eyes? And then he immediately corrects himself and starts speaking more vaguely. At this point I'm convinced it's already a done deal, they're just not allowed to say anything yet š

Whoās actually dumb here? You came under a post where someone was literally calling toxic BLs homophobic instead of going after the person who made the actual insane take youāre whining about. Maybe read what people are actually saying before throwing a tantrum in the comments. And spare me the ānormal peopleā bullshit. People consume dark fiction all the time without supporting any of it in real life. People watch movies about serial killers, manipulators, abusers, cannibals, psychopaths... That doesnāt suddenly mean they want to go outside and start murdering people. Fiction is not a moral purity test, no matter how badly you want it to be. You keep acting like people enjoying a fictional character automatically means they condone every single thing that character does. Thatās such an embarrassingly childish way to consume fiction. āI still root for himā does not magically translate to āI support SA in real life,ā and the fact you genuinely canāt separate those two things says more about your media literacy than anyone elseās morals. And honestly, the most pretentious part is you acting like your personal moral line is some universal standard every ānormal personā has to follow. Itās fiction. Dark fiction at that. If you donāt have the stomach for it, stop consuming it instead of trying to psychoanalyze everyone who does. Nobody said SA is not serious in real life. What people ARE saying is that fictional content does not equal endorsement, and rational adults are capable of understanding that distinction. Clearly not everyone is.

Because itās FICTION! Did you see a single comment saying he was right to rape him or praising him for it? Iām not going to waste my time explaining why itās wrong to lecture people about morality just because they like toxic shows with morally gray characters. Besides, if you were actually capable of understanding that, you wouldnāt have left a comment like this under this discussion in the first place. So many people in the comments of this post have already explained and analyzed it.

That what you get from all the comments you've read? That we are ok with SA? Whatās alarming is that some people like you canāt see beyond the tip of their own nose...
Well, we don't know the duration yet, but still...
I'm not sure if it's true, but fans say it will be released on this channel. It has four hidden videos!
