They may even have contributed to create the current climate. I don't think it would be more legislation as more strict enforcement of the current one. There has been a number of BLs released in YouTube for instance. Small production companies but YouTube is not allowed in China, still with such a small impact, the gov agency wouldn't bother. However RL and ABO have had an impact so maybe they would tighten the censorship? Let's see.

I think in this case is more related to the loss of reputation of the actors and also to protect them from public outrage. One of the ML was recently persecuted in an airplane. It was even international news. It was awful. The one who is suspected to be married with a child which won't be much of a problem but he has a reputation with the ladies too. Ziyu definitely is a cheater because he publicly apologised, so not denying that one. Releasing all now it means that the buzz would stop sooner rather than later.

You are right to be scared. I think these Sisters Nong have underweight the risks of this production. Most BLs made in China are not Chinese and are registered in Thailand or Taiwan, so honestly, I don't know what's going on here.

It is a wise move to let time pass and wait. I am watching other series in between, so that's fine. To be honest I have lost my initial enthusiasm for this series because one cannot become anxious for a Saturday episode. I stumble in fan service videos in X and TikTok, Elliot and Kipuka are cute but for me is just one cute video of a couple of gay guys of the lots that are now in social media, Not here, not there.

Don't tell me you have not been in other k and c dramas MDL forums, the war is worse!!! They compare everything and fight for everything, it is just ridiculous.

There have been some serious RL trolls here. In which part of their small brains they cannot understand we can like both BLs and as many mainstream series as we want!?

They cannot ban international productions for an international audience. They forbade BLs in 2006? Years back now, more recently, they are cracking down on bromances adapted from damnei (BL) literature. However, let's not believe in everything said in social media about China, there is so much unreliable information. China is strange for us, don't use the same apps, the same platforms. If there is going to be more regulations we would know from more official sources. e.g The ban of "sissy men" in mainstream media was covered even by the BBC, so it was international news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58394906 (this is a good reading by the way)

I like the series very much but if you ask I think you should wait a bit longer. It does not progress much from ep to ep.

What part is false? Weibo is one of the Chinese platforms, what about Douyin? Anyway, in the international platforms Elliot and Kipuka has more followers and for what I see including X the platforms are promoting them as rep of the series. No need to get aggravated. Li Pein En is an older actor in top mainstream productions (date of birth here is different than Chinese sources) , so it won't surprise me is he has a lot of followers in China. He is also considered very attractive. If I don't recall wrongly, he was the first one in being hired for ABO. Personally, I am a great consumer of c dramas when ABO was announced and despite having watched the series that Pein Un was in, I didn't recognise him, but I immediately recognised Elliot and Kipuka from previous series despite that were cheaper productions.

Me too I noticed this person before but didn't interact. A troll maybe a crazy RL fan but prob just a hater

Don't believe everything that people comment because China is a strange environment for us and not always there are reliable sources. Yes Orange Fair is doing a great job but even this person is confused sometimes

How do you know??? Or either they get block or not, there is no "almost"

I would wait clarification on this one. Mainly because BLs are not allowed in China, I don't recall any CP association of any sort BL or not. What would be the objective? Fans yes, a lot of shipping fans have a kind of association, they do charity work and those kind of things. There are buckets of them in China.

Is this a joke? she is disrespecting everybody here!

I don't know about ABO, there is always extras, but Sister Nong are in conversation with Elliott and Kipuka to perform in another BL. The actors are very much happy with the proposal. This is what they said in one of the live.

Yes, this one has been trolling for a while now.

Uhmm the language....are we all "so impressed" with your intellectual "aspirations"....😝make yourself a favor and have some calming tea, or go for a walk...or something....

OK people: shall we block that TaeRitRee person altogether or are we having fun with these interactions? That person is vicious, so Alice_01 I am with you!! If you block that TaeRR, I block it too. just let me know 😊

Yes, I also understood this. I did defend you in my post above, so don't pay any attention to "that one" comment who is just trying to antagonise everybody here.
