this episode is the best! my DuangQin finally got together 🥹 but why did they have to end it with that NC scene?!…
Bottom just means he’s the one who get f’d in the arse. He can be on top ‘sexual position’ like he did in the episode today, but he’s still ‘bottoming’ because HE’S RIDING THAT D 😆😆😆
Not a fan of lavid. Remember when him and vier met at the bar and vier didn’t recognise him and lavid said something like ‘you haven’t changed’. Sounded like he had hooked up with him a while ago and vier being the man-wh0re he is had no memory of him.
I only read part of the novel and know he was in love with him. Vier wasn’t interested but did use him.
I am South East Asian, I read the article, and then I read the comments... all the while I was thinking to myself...Wow...…
I’m in Scotland. I’m a 42yo wife and mum and love kpop/kdramas/cdramas/jdramas/all Asian BL and I get teased by my husband and own kids. The line ‘they all look the same’ is thrown at me. If anyone outside heard this, they’d say oh my god, they’re racist. BUT, my husband says this because he knows he’ll get a rise out of me. He says it because we grew up in the 90s, when this was genuinely an ‘accepted fact’ about Asians. He’s not racist. He’s making a joke using a throwback to our youth, where this kind of casual racism wasn’t even thought to be that offensive (to us). As we’ve grown, society has changed a lot. Our kids, for example, are not just taught at home not to racist, sexist or -phobic. They’re taught this in schools. My husband and I love to say some racist/sexist/homophobic jokes in front of our kids to see how utterly shocked and disappointed they are. It makes me proud of them. It took a while, but they understand now that what we say as a joke is just a joke. Dark humour is fine, but you need to know your audience in case they take offence or think you’re actually racist.
I don’t think his comment was too bad. Caricatures are funny because they are supposed to be exaggerated. If I were shown a picture of a white fat guy and asked where do you think he’s from, I’d say ‘he’s AMERICAN’. He could clearly be a white guy who lives down my street (in Scotland).
SE Asians I can honestly say I can’t quite tell them apart easily (apart from Filipino/a, since my dad married a Filipina and lived there I can normally ‘sense’ a Filipino/a quite easily) and probably Thai. Of course when they speak, that’s different. I can totally tell then.
But even in China, it’s so big and from north, south, east and west, there are big differences. Some parts they are lighter skinned and others darker skinned. Even eyeslids are different.
Anyway, sorry for blabbing on. My meds just kicked in and I had something to say.
Ps I’m autistic and have adhd, so if I have offended anyone, please believe it was not intentional and would prefer feedback on that rather than just saying ‘umm ok, so you’re racist’. If I say something wrong, I can only reevaluate it if I’m told why. I’d hate to go out into the world and say/do something that would upset someone because I didn’t know.
A little disappointed they didn’t include the condom and lube shopping scene from the novel. That was funny and cute.
