lol Could you specify what streets in what cities you bravely protested in? I'm doing a tour of sites where historically significant pro-gay events took place.

"...how you always make assumptions on people's sexuality here. We're not in '80s." What the hell are you talking about. Who are these people "redirecting" anyone anywhere? Have you posted a list of fabulous, sex-free BLs in this thread, cause I haven't seen it if you did.
What "assumptions about people's sexuality" have been made? Quotes, please.

You, proving again that you can't read
" Many of us gay men have no problem with the fact that straight women originated BL, and continue to dominate them."
br011185 specifically stated what you just pretended to be informing him of for the first time. Good lord. Then you go on to ask more stupid questions. br011185 did not say that there was anything "wrong" with BLs that don't depict gay hypersexuality. He did not say that a BL without sex scenes makes "being gay any less gay," whatever the hell that means.
If you still believe br011185 wrote these things, please copy/paste them in a reply, because they're not there in his comment. Once again, just as you did in replying to me, you are inferring things never written, then responding to what you made up in your head. Please see someone about those voices between your ears.
Nor did he say or imply that he can't enjoy gay-themed shows that focus "more on emotional connection than physical intimacy."
And that is the weird and frustrating thing about BL watchers like you. For some reason, you are unable to, or refuse to, understand and acknowledge that there is a fabulous sky-wide palette of lovely grays from which to make stories between your pristine, blinding white fantasy of SEX IS ICKY and what you see as a black nightmare of endless b**t-f**king.
Guess what? Almost all good-to-great creative work comes out of that immense gray area. Did you know it is possible to write stories that include "emotional connection" AND "physical intimacy?" It's true, I swear!
Why in the world do you think it has to be all one thing or the other? I suspect you've internalized the homophobic notion, still pervasive in most societies, that gay sex is dirty/nasty/icky/immoral; but if I said that out loud I'd be playing amateur psychologist like you, and I don't want that.

Wow, my friend. Thank you so much for this beautifully-written show of support, which comes out of the blue, and is gratefully received. What you have expressed here is a summary of feelings and emotions I recognize very well. However, I doubt I have the patience or wisdom to have penned such a moving and sternly accurate description of our relationship, as gay men, to the BL universe (I suspect you've noticed my tendency is more toward bomb-throwing and sarcastic bombast than calm engagement).
Thank you beyond words for writing and posting this. Reading it, I was moved to tears. By reading your words, I hope at least a few MDLers reach a new understanding of where you, I, and many of the other gay men here are coming from.
Now...let's count down to the first commenter accusing YOU of being ME, writing under a screen name alias to encourage and thank MYSELF for being me. lol Just you wait and see...

I have no idea what that is supposed to be, Groot. Why are you here, replying to little old me, when you have that amazing life to be out and about in? Go on....I promise I'll be fine.

Tell that to the many MDLers who message and friend me precisely because I DO speak my mind here. Others hesitate to say what they think because the Little Girls (I call them that for my own amusement. If you feel it "invalidates" them, that's your issue.) swarm them. Me, I don't mind swarming.
You don't know my motivations or anything else about me, so stop playing amateur psychologist. Also, stop pretending to speak for some vast army of members who feel as you do. You don't.
If, by now, you can't grasp the rating thing, it's good that I don't care what you think. AGAIN, I see others here constantly urging members to UP-rate shows, but mysteriously, you're unconcerned about that.
Now, go live your exciting, fabulous life outside MDL and stop policing the thread.
The word "masterpiece" is so over-used on MDL that it has lost any meaning it once had, especially as it relates to BLs. When EVERY show is a "masterpiece," NO show is a masterpiece.

Where to begin...?
"Hellbent on policing..." Please quote me where I said other people have to agree with me or stop leaving comments. Please show where I demanded anyone here stop or start doing anything at all. Thanks, I'll wait...a very long time. You infer what isn't written and then respond to your fantasies. That has nothing to do with me.
Where did I say "everybody does NOT have their own opinion?" Where did I say they "do NOT have their own minds to decide?" I didn't. You heard voices in your head.
I've watched every episode of this show and I will watch the last one, and it's none of your business one way or the other. Please quote me where I said I "HATE" the show. Thanks, I'll wait.
Having watched every episode, I have every right to leave comments here, as do people who have watched none of it but want to comment just to annoy YOU. Quit trying to police how other people should feel about this show!
Please quote me where I said "others have to align with my subjective views." Voices in your head again.
You are inferring all of this because I hit a very sensitive nerve with you and you're throwing a tantrum and trying to POLICE me. Cuts no ice with me.
As for the rating, do you even have a brain? There is already deliberate rating manipulation on MDL, massively so, as I pointed out in my comment which went over your head. I did not originate rating manipulation, the Little Girls did. One sees it all the time here. Quit playing dumb as though you don't know what I'm talking about. That doesn't cut ice with me either. My rating manipulation effort is to COUNTER the one that is already going on, in an attempt to even things out.
Moreover, I made the rating crack tongue-in-cheek. I don't really care if anyone down-rates the show; I was making a point about the weirdos here who UP-rate shows all the time. You see them in comments urging each other to up-rate, go to IG and TikTok and "like" posts and such, even going to Youtube and watching videos related to their pet series multiple times to run up the views.
It seems odd that I've never seen you in comments shrieking at the MDLers who do all of the above on a regular basis. Your outrage is very selective and I don't care that you're wetting your pants over my comment. I LIKE that you see me as an "immature, crazy" person. It tells me I'm on the right track.

More than likely, you're a 16-year-old MDL LG living in south Jersey or Nebraska.
You're as much a SE Asian gay man who courageously protested in the streets of great cities as I am a straight grandma who knits.
I think you're an LG poser.
You ARE that shallow.
What "assumptions about people's sexuality" have been made? Quotes, please.
What a loon.
