What the Shell Lounge Bar (Xiang Liu's Underwater Luxury Lounge)

People forget that those characters are just words on a page. Back when there was no cinema or television, they were represented on stage. And the audience threw tomatoes at the actors when they didn't like what they were seeing.

I don't know why nor when things became so pathetic that criticizing aspects of an entity that doesn't even exist in real life has somehow turned into a crime. For example, Jing is a terrible character in terms of basically everything. He was written to have the personality of a stale loaf of bread, whose unique traits are being sweet, kind, and forgiving. A well-written character can have all of those characteristics and still be the complete opposite of him. He's a background character who should have stayed as such.

But if someone were to point this out in the main comment section, his attorneys would be losing their minds and start calling us all sorts of names. Us, real, living, breathing people. That's what they don't seem to grasp. Characters are made to entertain real people. Real people are not.

There really seems to be a problem with some people understanding the difference between a personal attack and talking about a character.  They can't seem to distinguish between a real person and a fictional character.  It just boggles my mind.

NGL, Jing as a character grated against my personal biases and pet peeves early on.  I've had negative experiences with people like Jing who played emotional games.  But if others like him, that's their preference.  Just don't expect me to be blind to his faults.

Something truly important to get the bad taste of fish out of our mouths ahahah

Originally the video was posted without subtitles.  In the comments, someone asked about English Subs, and in the replies, whoever subtitled it said they were finished, and the fan club posted their e-mail addy and said send them in.
