Well, I thanked you for your well thought-out reasoning and perspective, and because there are LOTS of abnormal, non-understanding people on these comment boards.

Don''t get me wrong, I think the put-on fan service fake gay stuff is silly and ridiculous, but these public appearances are a standard means through which production companies all over the world promote their shows and are built into the actors' contracts. They are not being "forced" to do anything. No one has a gun to their head, and they do have time outside of public appearances to some degree, they're not doing this 24/7 though I'll admit that during a promotional period they spend lots of time on the road doing this stuff.

If you don't want to do fan service promotional events more than you want to be an actor, then I guess you shouldn't sign a contract and do a show.

Projecting.

I agree completely. But let me ask you what you think about this: What about two gay brothers who ARE full, blood-related, who fall in love? What if they spent most of their time apart growing up but when they ended up in the same place for a time they were drawn together? What if they DID grow up together? Does that matter once they are of age? There is zero chance of reproductive problems as there won't be any reproducing, so that argument is gone. Is there some kind of universal moral red line written in the stars for all to see that they should not cross to be together as a couple? If there is a red line, who wrote it? Why? Of what use is it? To protect other people from having icky feelings?

What about a straight couple who are full-blood brother/sister? Is it really anybody's business? How often does it even happen that it should be on society's radar as a concern? Almost never, that's how often.

I always end up chuckling about commenters getting worked up over non blood-related siblings being in relationship when I remind myself that my own son and his four years-younger step-sister have been married for nearly ten years. It's of absolutely no consequence to anyone; no one cares, no one really even noticed much. We just married them off and that was that. They live in the small town where they both grew up too, so it's not as though people who wanted to gossip didn't have the opportunity. lol

Do we have such a glut of love in this world such that we should automatically squelch it when the circumstances challenge our often-questionable belief systems?

What a great comment. Thank you.

Don't bother trying to understand the SJW crowd here. They live for the thrill of faux outrage. I also keep asking why they don't stop watching, as do many other commenters. Usually there's no answer to that. lol They watch because they love it.

I'm curious as to why you hate the shipping? I know it is more crazy-intense in the world of BL, but it goes on regarding straight actors too and it is often deliberately stoked by the production company's PR/Mktg. department. They know any publicity is good publicity. :D Where did you read or hear about this alleged shipping?

Well, there's a good reason he's always the last to know: The sons and the mom knew he would freak out and couldn't handle the truth...so they kept it from him as long as they could. A very human reaction, though of course the truth always comes out in the end.

End of ep. 5: Great show.

And a good fuck off to you as well, dear. If I sound pathetic and sad to (all caps warnng!) YOU then I know I'm doing my job. BTW, I love your comments on using all caps, and then you proceed to USE ALL CAPS. lol I try to use them on a limited basis in a vain attempt to get through to people like you.

Not sure why you bothered to respond, as you refuted nothing I wrote. I'm older than dirt, so willing to bet I've watched more of (all caps warning!) EVERYTHING than have you. I've also watched more people like you try to shame and censor what other people watch and listen to for far longer than you've been doing the shaming and censoring so please spare me your attempt to portray yourself as wizened and wise. You aren't. You're just an age-old (all caps warning!) TYPE and you've been around since time began, wagging your finger at anyone, anywhere who might be having a naughty thought or having a good time.

You know, you're right: I DO encourage and champion the virtues of free thought, free expression and the ideal of a shame-free society, especially in the arts and entertainment. Got a problem with that? Great! I'm hitting the correct nerve.

As for you being puritanical or not, your words and actions here indicate in the affirmative. Prudes never think they're prudes.

Are you sensing that I'm "right?" Maybe it's because I am.

Oh my... ANOTHER self-righteous SJW. I don't care what you claim to be employed as, which is apparently so secret that you cant' share what it is, but if you really are a PROFESSIONAL Social Justice Warrior then good for you: You've managed to con someone into paying you for your puritanical/censorious/church-lady/busy-body/sex-phobic instincts and that's quite an accomplishment.

IF you are by any chance a SOCIAL WORKER, I call bullshit. I have three social workers in my family and two more as close friends. Their work has zero to do with the self-assigned tasks of Social Justice Warriors, who fancy themselves super-heroes fighting thought-crime and free-thinking wherever they go, using the plight of ACTUAL victims and REAL injustice to further virtue-fascism and justify their sex-hysteria. The SWs I know are not THAT. I suspect maybe you ARE though.

I don't give a fuck what you are fucking tired of in my regard. I don't care if you think I write too much. Your opinion does not matter to me. SJW IS an insult and I use it as one with regularity because people like you are in comments here daily trying to effect/limit/control what the rest of us are allowed to see and hear, moralizing about fictional stories and generally spreading the stink of your self-righteous moralizing all over the place.

Think of me as an air freshener, value-sized. I'll have to see if I can arrange to get paid for MY schtick, such as you have done with yours.

STOP WATCHING BLs. YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT.

You're dodging the question and are also lying. XS had sex. He did not pass out, at least not until AFTER he was done having sex, so I have no idea what you think you're referencing with that.

Ummm...the reason I wouldn't leave comments or the show is that I am actually enjoying the watch, am supportive of the series and am very interested to read what others have to say.

People like you claim to dislike at least half the show and are here every week bitching about how immoral and problematic and non-PC everything is,. Why would someone like that keep watching the show and coming to comment? It's not an "attack" to ask those questions. You're saying it is as a misdirect to avoid answering.

Yes.

Your comment was perfect; I knew exactly what you meant when you wrote it because you used a very strong term which evoked a very strong image/feeling. Ignore Whore Enthusiast; it's just here to piss on everyone else's enjoyment of life.

omg...it's you again. Piss off, SJW.

lol "PROBLEMATIC" LOL Tell me, when you use that term and other SJW cliches do you pretend like you made them up all on your teensy-weensy own? YOU ARE GROSS. AND DOWNRIGHT PSYCHO FOR CONTINUING TO WATCH THIS SHOW EVEN AS YOU CONTINUE TO WHINE AND MOAN AND BITCH AND PONTIFICATE ABOUT ITS MANY EVILS. What part of fuck off don't you understand?

Blah blah blah...god, BLs would be boring as hell with you as the censor. Absolutely nothing of interest would happen. Piss off.

lol. So full of yourself and your self-congratulatory faux piety. I despise people like you.

I'm male and gay af and I love this show. Go figure, princess church lady.

See a shrink. Let it go.
