I think thats the truth. I mean look at Top Form. It has a high rating because of nc scenesš I mean I like…
Congrats on catching a slip-up no one cared about, you really showed me. If nitpicking grammar is the only way you think youāre winning this, thatās actually hilarious. Youāre not here to debate, youāre just desperate to feel smart. Try harder.
I think thats the truth. I mean look at Top Form. It has a high rating because of nc scenesš I mean I like…
Oh please, donāt twist my words just because you're pressed. I said what I said. If you want to act like Top Formās rating isnāt heavily boosted by the NC scenes, thatās your delusion to live in. Donāt come at me trying to nitpick when you're clearly just mad someone didnāt worship your favorite show.
The thing is we watch BL with a superficial audience. Substance and depth are exhausting for them and they down…
Oh spare me the faux outrage. Letās get something straight:
Agreeing SOME fans prioritize NC scenes ā calling ALL fans superficial. If you canāt grasp basic nuance, thatās a you problem.
NC scenes objectively boost visibility, this isnāt opinion, itās industry reality:
KinnPorscheās Episode 7 NC scene sparked 280K+ tweets in 24hrs (Twitter), while The Eighth Sense (critically adored, minimal NC) peaked at 11K tweets.
Love in the Air (NC-heavy) has 45K MDL votes; A Shoulder to Cry On (emotional, no NC) has 12K despite similar ratings (MyDramaList).
GagaOOLalaās 2023 data shows smut-heavy trailers get 3x more clicks than plot-driven ones (Source).
Your counterexamples ignore context:
Yes, I Feel You Linger in the Air (minimal NC) succeededābecause its historical drama and cinematography were exceptional. Thatās the exception, not the rule.
Meanwhile, Only Friends (high NC) trended for 9 days straight; Moonlight Chicken (low NC) only 2 days (Trendinalia).
Youāre conflating ratings with hype:
Cherry Magic (no NC) took 6 months to hit 10K MDL reviews; TharnType (NC-driven) did it in 3 weeks.
BL Awardsā āMost Anticipatedā lists are dominated by high-smut shows (2023 Polls).
So no, I never said smut = automatic high ratings. I said it disproportionately drives engagement and a fact backed by data. If youād rather scream āmisinterpretation!ā than address evidence, thatās your choice.
But donāt pretend this is about ādefending queer media.ā Itās about your refusal to acknowledge how the industry actually works.
Weāre done here. Next time, come with receipts and not hurt feelings. š

Ah yes, the classic āIām not attacking youā while aggressively misrepresenting someoneās argument. Charming. Letās recap:
You accused me of insulting fans (I didnāt).
You claimed I said NC scenes are the only factor in ratings (I didnāt).
You implied I ālook downā on queer romance (absurd).
When called out, you now pretend Iām the one being defensive? Cute. If you wanted a discussion, you couldāve engaged with what I actually said instead of inventing positions to rage against. But since youāve made it clear facts wonāt sway you, this āpointlessā conversation ends here. Enjoy your outrage. š
I think thats the truth. I mean look at Top Form. It has a high rating because of nc scenesš I mean I like…
Let me clarify since you're determined to misrepresent my position. When I noted Top Form's ratings benefited from NC scenes, I never claimed those scenes were the sole factor nor did I dismiss other elements like chemistry or plot. You're arguing against a strawman.
As for the 'superficial' comment: I agreed that some viewers prioritize steam over substance (a demonstrable trend in fan spaces), not that all BL fans do. If you've never seen a show get hyped solely for NC while deeper works fly under the radar, we're clearly in different corners of the fandom.
I appreciate your passion for defending the genre, but conflating critiques of industry patterns with 'looking down on queer romance' is disingenuous. We can advocate for BL's value and acknowledge its flaws like how NC can overshadow quieter, nuanced stories.
That said, I agree production value and character development matter. But let's not pretend NC scenes don't also drive engagement disproportionately. Data doesn't care about feelings.
If you want to discuss this in good faith, I'm here. But twisting my words into absolutes ('only care about steamy scenes') isn't it.

Oh sweetheart, let's not pretend your reading comprehension is quite that poor. Observing that NC scenes drive engagement does not equal 'attacking fans.' But if you're that desperate to play the victim over a discussion of industry trends, by all means don't let facts stop you.
It's almost impressive how you've twisted 'NC scenes impact ratings' into some grand insult against humanity. Truly a masterclass in manufactured outrage. Maybe next time, save the theatrics for something that actually warrants them? Just a thought.
But do keep going your mental gymnastics are fascinating. Are you training for the Olympics?

Oh darling, how precious of you to twist my words into something entirely different. Of course NC scenes aren't the only factor in ratings what a revolutionary concept you've uncovered. Clearly, your superior comprehension skills have allowed you to see nuances the rest of us simply couldn't grasp.
How silly of me to suggest that steamy scenes might actually influence viewer engagement in an industry where such content consistently trends. What was I thinking, pointing out obvious patterns? Next time, I'll be sure to consult you first before daring to analyze what drives hype.
But by all means, continue lecturing me about what I really meant. It's adorable how invested you are in being offended over a simple observation. Stay blessed, sweetheart.
