I didn't comment on it because I couldn't find anything on it, but there would be no excuse for it. Did he use it in lyrics?

In the case of someone who comes from a cultural context outside ours and who is not likely lost to the visceral anti-black racism of the West, maybe this is someone behaving out of ignorance and there is an opportunity to educate him. He doesn't seem like the type of person who would be closed to that.

It's kind of ironic that admiration for and imitation of and African-American musical form leads to a lot of casual racism.

Are we sure he isn't? This series has taken a lot of twists and turns already.

Those past scenes are painful to watch - that's exactly how it was for me - whoever wrote this definitely experienced it.

I'm excited that Net is starring in not one, but TWO more BLs!

I'm not sure how I feel about the relationship they introduced this ep. It was really difficult to watch - I had to take a lot of breaks to de-stress.

Age gap is very rare in BL - the only one I can think of is History4, and you know what people thought of that!

This is the same universe as Gen Y? And I can't wait to see Peter again - I hope it's a serious role this time.

I got bored and watched this hoping for some Enzo & Daryll. This should not have been marketed as a BL because it's not a BL. It's 99% straight romance with a joke character in a joke romance for the BL content. Plus a total of about ten seconds (not really exaggerating) of Markie & delivery boy, which appears to exist only to be a vehicle for Miguel's homophobic abuse that nobody in the family seem interesting in defending him against - they all treat the conflict as both their faults equally.

The BL content in this is so low that it qualifies as queer-baiting. What happened? Ths Philippines gave us several of the best BLs of all time last year, and now there's nothing.

It was well-made, Drei Arias is a great actor, but the plot is too uninteresting for me given the huge quantity of BL available. Why was it necessary to write them as straight guys? It would have worked just as well to have them as gay friends.

If that's in English, that's not what that means. Savage just means "wild". Nobody uses it in a racial context - at least not since the 19th century. There is a sexual implication to it. It feels like you're looking for something to be outraged about here, but if it's in Thai and means something different than it would in English, I'll take your word for it that it's offensive.

Your point about mixed actors is definitely true and important, but I don't see how that's related to a t-shirt slogan.

Well, this is a hard pass. Why do I want to watch a boring as f@#$ series about straight guys talking about their girlfriends? No thanks. Not even for Drei Arias.

That was like torture to watch, except for about 10 seconds when that one guy had his shirt off. Why was this made and who is the audience? You have to squint really hard to see this as BL.

These two are so far above all the other BL actors that they're not even in the same universe. And notice that they don't have perfect chisled bodies, and it doesn't matter at all. Perfection isn't in being perfect.

This is a transition story - the point is that everything changes, and that's the theme of the next series - this wasn't supposed to be "purity" or "innocence" - it's actually a bit dark and foreshadows them growing apart.

This guy is so cute it hurts.

From the parents' perpective, all of them having boyfriends will make such distinctions meaningless.

I think you have the right idea. Other than that, it was a decent episode - this show is cuteness overload.

Part 4 didn't make much sense to me - why did Pi come to THAT conclusion? It didn't really follow.

I have two brothers, so my being gay wasn't too hard on the parents, even though I'm the oldest - but I think they would have died if ALL THREE sons where gay. Only in Thai BL.

Also, Phuwin's body - has he always been built like that? I was taken off guard there.

I'm having difficulty getting through this - I'm taking a break after sitting through that excrusciating sexual harassment scene. Is that supposed to be funny, having a trans character be a totally pathetci predator? When is this ever going to stop?

One of these days there's going to a trans uprising and they're going to burn down all these studios making this crap. Can we retire this trope please?

Kaleb Ong is strangely sexy.

This was good, but the music is way too loud - it completely drowns everything out.

The subs are there now.

Translators can work from home, though. There may be some other problem, but in any case, GMMTV is so good about prompt translations in general that I can forgive the occassional lapse.
