That’s great for you but that’s not everyone. Obviously the majority of us in the comments are looking for the series with subs. If we didn’t want subs we would have said so. Also you’re just posting the link without even a spoiler tab and that’s why websites keep getting taken down.

You weren’t harsh. I think it’s common sense folks want to use their time to watch something they understand.

Please someone let me know when there are non AI generated English subs and where to watch and put the link behind a spoiler tag so the website won’t be at risk of being shut down. Thank you!

I obviously am watching also GL and lakorns so if you are gonna try and throw around generalisations try to make it factual because you will end up looking foolish and blocked like the other person. Goodbye LOL.

People getting blocked these days 🥰🥰

And it’s our choice to tell you to focus on what you like and stop being negative.

That’s not how it works especially when our clean water is being used. If you want to support it that’s your choice but don’t make excuses.

People like what they like. If they like Knot more that is their choice.

Yea that’s the one I watched. I’m surprised that is the first though. I’ll have to look that up later.

Oh the link says Hong Kong’s first BL web series. Not first BL. I know I’ve seen HKBL before that’s why I was confused by what you said.

Hong Kong has had another BL before. I’ve seen one a few years back.

Oh really? Thats interesting! I just love how we’re getting so much uncensored stuff now.

I thought so. It didn’t seem like something from HK but I like it so far.

yes

Will eps come out weekly on YouTube for free or was the first ep just free for non members? Also I know it’s in Cantonese but is it a CBL filmed in HK or an actual HKBL? Just curious.

Yea surface level which is what soft power does. It makes things look good on the surface. And again we’ve seen an uptick in series because of how much money it makes. Regardless though BL is pretty niche domestically and still isn’t as high in TV ratings. GL on average is higher. BL GL is seen as something that interfans will pay money into hence why the government is funding it more for tourism but if you look at tpop charts you will not see even one BL actor charting because what’s popular domestically isn’t the same as internationally. A lot of what I said can be easily searched. I’ve done extensive research and even interviewed a Thai trans activist a few months ago.

Thailand isn’t supportive though. And I think interfans need to come to grips with the fact that the media they consume isn’t reality. And this is coming from someone who has lived throughout Asia 😂 Thailand made a bid to host World Pride 2030 and I’m seeing Thai trans folks already speak out against it because they aren’t progressive. There are no trans rights so how is it pro LGBT. BL is an import from Japan (and Japan is still pretty anti trans too) and it’s based on fantasy. Thailand has taken BL GL and turned it into a moneymaking business and now Japan and other Asian countries have cashed in on it as well. Thailand has went further though making it a soft power to make it seem like they are open when it’s all about money at the end of the day. Same with marriage equality. Marriage meant more money for the government. Trans rights though are complicated. I see Thai cis women still saying that they don’t want trans women to change their gender markers because they think men will pretend to be women and hijack women’s spaces and that Thailand isn’t ready for it but interfans will say it’s an open country 😭

A lot of BL fans aren’t aware of what’s actually going on in Thailand and unfortunately this is the norm. Marriage equality benefited the LGB community and even then they still can’t adopt children together (only one person can). And folks call it pro LGBT but trans people still can’t change their gender markers there 🥴 and for example as a result trans women can’t even be flight attendants because airlines think it would be a hassle with them entering countries with their assigned gender marker at birth. Hell even the LGB can be pretty transphobic to Thai trans folks but the transphobia is something common in BL but also lakorn as well and the community has spoken out for years about how these jokes and stereotypes of trans women aren’t funny but Thai cis folks don’t care. Out of all the BL actors I think only Tong from KinnPorsche has spoken up about transphobia while others might use a trans actress to make themselves look pro trans but don’t speak out against discrimination.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who felt like it was too much. Like we know Thai series historically make trans characters comedic relief but just don’t put them in your series.

It’s just what i thought. Can’t judge the main cast but the screenwriters definitely. I know Thai trans women will take on roles even if they become the butt of the joke (which is a recurring theme in Thai dramas) but talking to the community and knowing how they don’t like that representation made me just drop it because why 🥴
