I don't get why Nu dyed his hair platinum blonde. I'm assuming it's for this series but it doesn't really look very good.

No mine. Is a first-line reply to the OP in the thread. Your reply appeared under mine. But no big deal. I just didn't understand why you were directing your comment at me.

Then your comment appeared in the wrong place.

Yes Khanin had a better childhood, but he's also not invested in all of the palace garbage.

I don't even think he cares about the king's opinion of him being gay or being in love with Charan.

His motivation for the lie isn't fear. He doesn't care if he wins the contest or if bio daddy becomes king

The only reason he's staying in Emmaly is that it's his best chance he has for finding out what happened to his father.

Sounds like you know absolutely nothing about TNP. They haven't had the explicit sex scenes yet but both Zee and NuNew have said that their intimate scenes will blow Cutie Pie out of the water. I have no reason to believe that they are lying to us.

Now could you please stop writing these long posts quoting me? I have an excellent memory. Don't have to read anything I've written twice.

Your constant quotes are really annoying.

I was born in the early '50s. Not sure what that has to do with anything.

It's not up to producers of BL to tone down the sexual content just because it's a fantasy.

There is a whole genre of manga (Japanese comics) that are practically porn.

It's up to parents to monitor what their children watch or read not up to the producers of entertainment to censor themselves.

Did Khanin see Paytai get whipped? I don't recall seeing that.

That's because Khanin doesn't really care about winning the competition. His only objective is finding out what happened to his stepfather.

NuNew Just debuted platinum blonde hair and they haven't finished filming TNP yet. I wonder if he dyed it for some plot device in the series or if this is a wig. Inquiring minds want to know.

And that's great, but you aren't a little kid.

I'm just saying,:

1) BLs that are explicitly sexual aren't for children. Doesn't matter if they have a fantasy plot or not, and

2) In the BLs I've seen the romantic partners are always a dominant top and a submissive bottom, save for Pit Babe.

There are a lot of other scenarios in gay relationships just like there are in straight relationships, and it would be nice to see more of that.

Kids will try to get away with whatever they can. That's quite a bit different than their parents suggesting that they go and watch NC-17 content.

The problem I have with a lot of BL's is that they promote relationships among gay men that are more or less trying to replicate heterosexual relationships where one is more or less the woman and the other one is more or less the man.

Sure it represents a part of the community but by far not all of it.

Also take a look at the final episode 4/4 of Naughty Babe on YouTube. It was very modestly cut from the IQIYI version and even has a warning before you click on it. I wouldn't want my kid watching that.

Don't count on cut versions to censor NC 17 BL's for you.

There are plenty of BL's that are rated PG or PG-13 and I think those are much more suitable for kids.

The cut versions aren't much different. I watched Cutie Pie both on IQIYI and on YouTube. They are both fairly sexually explicit although not as much as other BLs I've seen.

And any kid who has a YouTube account without restrictions on it can see all the deleted scenes anyway including some that weren't actually in Cutie Pie but were included on the box set that some fans bought and then posted on YT.

I remember one deleted scene where it was was pretty clear that Kuea was engaged in anal intercourse with Lian.

Don't forget that the novel was written in the first place to be produced later as a BL starring NuNew and Zee, So of course it was going to contain elements that would showcase NuNew's talents.

Khanin isn't giving up anything to be with Charan. Khanin doesn't care anything about being a royal and the only reason he's there is that it's the best chance he has to figure out what happened to his stepfather.

I do agree that people who are complaining that they aren't hot and heavy after four episodes are wrong. The story is about their romance and it would be over in four episodes if they got their way.

I get your idea that gay kids should have role models and positive entertainment to watch, but this BL is hardly the one you're looking for. From what Zee and NuNew have said the sex scenes that are coming in this series are going to blow Cutie Pie out of the water.

Not sure this is what I'd want my very young child to be watching regardless of his or her sexual orientation.

You first. I'll throw in a yag procedure.

The king isn't really thinking right because destabilizing Khanin by taking away his entire support system will not help him win the contest. I would almost think the king doesn't want him to win except why would he even bother bringing him back to Emmaly if that was the case? In fact why would he bother taking measures to ensure that Khanin remained alive If he didn't want him to help his father succeed to the throne?

Khanin has been well educated and knows how to get along in casual social situations but he doesn't know how to deal with his hormones and romantic feelings. He never had a chance to date or otherwise grow up like a normal kid.
