BL Drama Lovers Club

 RiqueXinw:

I saw a post on social media that was relatable to me and others in the comments it said, "M/M book fans and BL fans will ignore almost anything except cheating and violence/abuse between the couple." This made me stop and think and I realised it was somewhat true of me not on the moral side but because it challenges my ideas of romance however if romance is not the focus then I don't have an issue. Maybe that is why my moral compass does not play into my watching and rating of series because the themes I love to read about such as Mafia is rife with the gore, violence and the morally grey in order for the story to progress, remain realistic and to allow for a happy ending and the fact that it all exist in the realm of fiction. Does anybody else relate to this?

I think this is partly true for me all. My enjoyment of reading about and watching some gore (can't be too gory, no brains please) in Samurai  & crime shows is so different from what I can tolerate IRL. For romance, if there's violence or abuse between the couple, that typically escalates and doesn't get better so it's not something I want to watch. I was surprised at myself about the cheating though, because I watched Together with Me: The Next Chapter. I thought it was something I would absolutely not tolerate. Instead, I really was curious how they would handle it and build up the trust between the couple and if the couple would get their HEA.

Oh same here, I'm not big on any of the side couples, but Win & Team are in 80% of the scenes so I can ignore anyone  I don't love lol

Typo on my part but you got the gist: I wasn't keen on the side couple...

Time to send the protest trucks lol 

No, but seriously, I liked him so much after Boy's Journey, and then I went to watch Oxygen and I was sold on him

I really need to start a rewatch of Oxygen.

Fiction policed by morality leads to censorship.

You are stroking my mind (that sounded weird). Agree 100% with this quote. I might even steal it for future arguments in my debates; I will make sure to reference and say a member of my online club once said this :)

AHHHHH I love this series, both seasons. It is not mentioned often so I am glad to see someone mentioning it. I feel like it has been buried in the sands of time. To be honest I may or may not have ignored the whole cheating thing because the MaxTul visuals were serving (Don't judge me). You cannot give me that makeup scene *insert wink emoji* and expect me to focus on plot lolll

I saw Bad Romance, which imo was very very bad, so I ignored the Together series. Is it a much better watch?

You should have ignored Bad Romance instead, which is what I did.
