Will never forget the Maya Awards almost fight between Ohm and Nanon (May 18th). They were this close to throw…
I think people are reading too much into that "incident", and I doubt their friendship has ended. They're not soulmates destined to be together, just friends and colleagues. Sometimes they have spats with each other. It's probably a lot more common than you think.
The victim isn't the one bringing in the paychecks to pay for that BMW...
I agree, reaching out and apologising to the victims first before making any official statements would be the right approach. This wasn't handled very well, and he should have been given better guidance from his management team too.
I think it's time to take a step back and reevaluate. Was he a bully in school? Well, evidently so as he has admitted…
I get what you mean. I suspect the bullying incident will damage his career a fair bit, as it should as I don't think anyone should get away with that type of behaviour.
So many homophobic remarks are thrown around by people who also should know better. One of my biggest irritations is the term "gay panic". It gets banded around constantly and everywhere. It's a really, really awful term... It was actually used by violent homophobic men in the past (and still today in some countries) as defence in court for beating and even killing gay men. They would accuse the victims of approaching them "sexually", resulting in them panicking and violently assaulting gay men. And they would get away with it as it was seen as an acceptable legal defence!!
Every time I see it on a youtube video, on twitter, insta etc I absolutely cringe. It's an awful thing to say but most people saying are not homophobic they just don't know and need to be educated. But please everyone STOP using the term gay panic! It has really awful connotations.
I definitely will be mad if he's not pulled from his future projects. These kind of scums shouldn't profit of…
I think it's time to take a step back and reevaluate. Was he a bully in school? Well, evidently so as he has admitted to it. Is he still a bully? We don't know. Is he the devil? Obviously not. People are multifaceted and can be more than one thing at the same time. Is he a homophobe? Not likely, but he's probably ignorant as to what some of his comments/actions mean. Calling him a homophobe is a bit extreme. However, he could do with being educated on certain things. But so could a lot more people - and not just on lgbtq issues but sexism, racism, colourism and other issues too. And I'm saying this as a gay man. He does need to answer for his actions past and present - and he will - but let's not start a witch hunt here.
In other Ohm news besides the hate he is getting and people calling for his career to end…His Singapore FanMeet…
I'll let you in on a little secret: he doesn't know any of us nor does he care. None of us have a personal relationship with him. Like some of his other peers at GMMTV he comes across at times as a bit of a spoilt rich brat. He's actually not that talented of an actor.
Do I hate him? No, cause I don't know him. My life does not revolve around him or any of the others. Whether his career flourishes or crashes and burns makes no difference to my life. If he's gone from fame tomorrow there will be another three just like him around the corner ready to replace him. Actually, GMMTV are lining them up as we speak... *cough* "Alpha Project".
So, chill the f**k out. You're not Ohm's mum, dad or on his payroll. He's a big boy and can take care of himself. If you like him and his shows just watch them. If others don't like him then it's their prerogative. It's not your responsibility or duty to defend him, and Ohm isn't going to wake up tomorrow and think "oh that, person on MDL is so nice defending me".
And if you read other THAI peoples posts they say it is a lingo used amongst friends. Just like in the USA a lot…
I am a gay man as well, and the use of "no homo" IS derogatory. Please don't undermine the fight against the stigmatisation of gay people in order to defend an actor from Thailand. He doesn't have to face any of the issues we face - none of these actors do - yet they're more than happy to make tons of money out of the back of the gay community.
-He was punished in school for the bullying incident.-there was no ill-intention in what people call homophobic…
Actually, the "no homo" statement is pretty derogatory to gay people. It very much insinuates that there is something wrong with being gay. It's banned as a hashtag on several platforms. If a celebrity was using it I would seriously question their character.
This is becoming ridiculous... Hating on a young man for something he did as a kid is ridiculous. Am I defending…
I don't know him or his background so can't comment on what he may have allegedly done. That being said he has admitted to it so it's true. Is he still a bully? I have no idea. Personally he's not my cup of tea. My impression is he still has some maturing to do compared to some of his peers.
There is a commonality between all the GMMTV actors. Many of them have similar backgrounds, i.e. middle class / rich kids from private schools. I'm not always convinced their humility is that genuine. Most of them have been scouted and brought in because they fit the mould. There's not a lot of diversity going on. I enjoy some of the shows but am under no illusion.
GMMTV is a business and a money making machine. They chew and spit out actors constantly. How many have come and gone? Some are brought in at the expense of others more talented. One of the absolute worst series (absolute pile of manure!) from GMMTV is 2gether, yet for some inexplicable reason it's the most successful show and has shot the two leads to extreme fame. I don't get it, but there you go. To say their acting is awful is an understatement.
Never understood why fans put them on such a pedestal without knowing them and send them "gifts". It's such a waste of money - they receive thousands weekly if not daily and most end up in the bin. They may keep one or two things , give away some stuff or even sell them, but the rest just ends up in a landfill. Save your money people and the planet. Even if they wanted to keep all of it it's simply not possible unless they have a warehouse. It's your money and you can do what you want with it, but I do find it amusing when fans complain that their "gifts" have made their way to girlfriends and eBay.
Sorry no, there is nothing amazing or ground breaking about this show and we certainly don't need to learn anything in the UK from the show or any other Asian country. If anything it's how NOT to make a drama series. If you want ground breaking gay drama go watch queer as folk - made all the way back in 1999, now THAT was ground breaking! It was realistic, gritty and showed gay life as it was. This is just mildly entertaining fluffy nonsense.
