So if I am getting this right, people who can watch on youtube get to watch at 0530 PST but those who are geoblocked and have to use gaga have to wait an hour? Is that how it works?
I would try not to worry too much about the novel - depending how how it was written, it could wind up being very…
Not being edited as in refilmed, being edited as in they left out a couple of things (one) because the audience weren't picking up what they were trying to put down.
They didn't actually add or change anything, the were just trying to spoonfeed an increasingly hostile audience who *said* they wanted mess, then got the mess they wanted and freaked out.
And then people took at ran with it, acting as though Jojo & co were giving us brand new stuff that they'd never intended before or actually changing things, which if you know anything about how filming works is next to impossible to do real time.
The only thing I ever saw him say they "edited" based on audience reaction was removing a Top scene where he tries to sleep with someone else, because audiences hated Top so much and they thought that it would make it worse. Should Jojo have admitted this out loud? NO, because even I knew that people would do what they went on to do, and be like "Jojo changed things because of the whiny fangirls." Which is stupid.
And frankly the novel was way more ridiculous than the show. I say this with love, but it's true.
it's not airing on youtube so don't even worry, monday doesn't mean its toned down it's literally just a release…
Oh it's not? I assumed. Well then, I take it back. What will it be on? Gaga? I wonder a LOT if they're gonna do "cut version on TV, uncut on the app" for Thailand. They do that and I'll be completely chilled. :D

And The Heart Killers too (thank GOD that novel was awful I'm not even sorry for saying it).
I think even the OG Only Friends novel changed quite a bit.
And Not Me was based on the novel right? with OF and THK and this too, it's the other way 'round - if I recall how they said it works correctly, they give a novel writer the basic plot points / storyboarding and then they do what they want, pretty much. At least that is how it went with THK. I think one of the OF writers or directors was involved with writing the novelization but it was still different, lol.
that's a wild conclusion to make especially after that trailer. you have prim literally two-timing in there
Ah, you're right. I did confuse them. My bad. But I still don't think cheating is ultimate mess. It's everywhere.
I simply wanted to know if Monday meant they might play it safer. I had just heard weekday shows were more family friendly. I don't know if this is accurate, that's why I asked.
It's everyone, please don't pretend it's limited to GL spaces. Fans think they own the actors and the crew because...I don't even know. They watch a show free on youtube? It's entitlement all the way down, and sadly in this day and age nasty homophobic slurs are still some of the easiest things to reach for when that sense of entitlement isn't fulfilled.
imagine wanting to watch LGBTq+ series by LGBTq+ people even and then call those people queerphobic slurs for…
Lbr, some of the most homophobic people read and write m/m and f/f...and it shows when they have to deal with actual queer people in their comfy het spaces. I learned that a long, long time ago. I wish that it had changed but here we are I guess.
Couple that with the nasty entitlement people feel over these shows (and it's not just Girl Rules; any time a show isn't subbed or doesn't come out when they want or they don't like a plot point fans throw a hissy fit like they're the only people on the damn planet) and it's just a hot mess.
since it's twitter there's a decent chance those were bots. but either way it's toxic people who need to touch…
No it was real people. And I think dismissing it is part of the problem. "Oh, it's just bots/a few people/etc" does not mean that this behavior shouldn't be called out as disgusting. If it IS only a few people, GOOD, make it clear that they are not wanted or accepted in the community if that's how they behave.
Yeah, but unfortunately that's not how the BL industry works...
That's not how the romance genre works.
Like okay you guys hate pair branding. Not the biggest fan here either. But most romances telegraph the endgame couple literally from the trailer / first episode, even if there is another love interest or two to spice things up.

I'm not insulting the show, dude. I've just heard things about which days get the more risque material and I was wondering if that's true.
Oh, could you spoil the threesome for me?
What are they saving Sat for?

The trailer looks good, but does Monday mean it won't be messy?
That does tend to happen, yes.
Most people I know are excited for it for one reason or another. Where do you think the "hype" is dying?
