Original review: This episode starts out, well about midway through, you meet male lead two’s roommates and they’re a funny bunch. The next time you see them one of the roommates ask two for a back massage. Then they Switch, and the roommate gives m make lead two a back massages, and do you think there’s going to be a queer undertone, but it instead the third roommate walks in pauses, and pauses, and you think he’s going to shout gay! berceuse one roommate is sitting on the back of the other, but instead he’s like my turn next, and starts and buttoning the corners of his shirt so that he can get a shoulder massage. What’s special about this, is the juxtaposition between what the audience expects from a BL, what I would be claim as a call out of toxic masculinity. No one expects just a bunch of buff guys to be giving each other back massages to happen or to be depicted without there being a gay undertone. But because there ends up being no gay undertone, in your surprise and shock, you have to think about your prejudices against three buff men Giving back massage to each other, I.e. touching each other in a way that in our society is really only “safe” for girls to do. I think the director is reminding you to challenge how you let society affect how you believe people, both mâle, female and non binary, will act based on what society tells you about what ways in which it is “ok” for a specific gender to act.In other words, I don’t think I have ever seen three buff men being so open to touch and physical contact, and comfortable in their friendships. Is it a new era? Can my guy friends start being more vulnerable to?
(edit after viewing the whole show. Two of them were gay. Oops. Sorry.)
Oh, and I forgot to mention, ONE OF THEM IS GAY, THE OTHER GUYS KNOW, AND THE OTHER GUYS DON’T ACT ANY DIFFERENTLY. They still touch him in a way that could be sexual in another sense… just compare this to a boys locker room when one of the guys is found out to be gay! Then compare it to this. How can that be revolutionary, but sad to say, it is.
