6.5/10

Examples of those "active choices", then?

these are the prequel, highschool years before they met the rest of the characters in college. the exact same way Tonfah and Thypoon had a few episodes establishing how they knew each other before

well, I'm queer and I don't think it's queerbaiting.
is your argument refuted by one person? probably not. but, it also isn't supported by claims.
I'm blocking you now until you can learn what confirmation bias is, and also how to use commas and periods.

I was never condescending to you, but now I know you just want to stay in the little world you've made for yourself believing what it is you want to believe and there is no further reason to continue this inane back and forth.

by the definition *you* provided, they are not queerbaiting.
you continue to ignore.
that they do not use.
the same marketing techniques.
as the brand pairs.

friends can't act together ✍️ got it /s
the fact is, is the company doesn't market them as a ship, which is literally the opposite of the definition of queerbaiting you helpfully provided. their hyphenated brand name, Sky-Nani, is not the same as the combined ship names (eg. ForceBook, FirstKhao, ect), their mascots are not the combined "child" of the pair, and the "fanservice" they do is people getting weird about their friendship.

and, they aren't doing that. separate mascots, hyphenated brand name, no fanservice. no BL vibes in trailer, no bromance vibes in first episode.

you can 100% say that something isn't queerbaiting and still ship it. again, what are you on about?
they are not queerbaiting, because they don't do the same marketing as brand pairs: they don't do fanservice, they don't have a combined ship name, they don't have a combined mascot.
they didn't make the trailer look like a BL, they didn't make the first episode bromance-y.
you're literally just seeing two people act together and calling it queerbaiting.

it's neither. it's a supernatural action mystery.

shipping is a fan activity and queerbaiting is a production decision, and one has nothing to do with the other? what are you even on about? before you go around saying BL fandom (a largely queer fandom) doesn't want "actual queer representation", perhaps you should learn what both queer and fandom terms actually mean.

then use an archive specific for anime. dramas are dramas, anime is anime, and it's better for wed designers to focus on one and do it well instead of both and do it bad
the MAL entry for this show is actually complete instead of half built like one MDL

as much as I hate Jimmy, I hate Toh more because what could he possibly be seeing in this man to put up with his behavior??

it could just an editing error or or some other mistake on the part of the producers. in Pit Babe season two, a character who died showed up in the final scene and the producer made the excuse that "that wasn't the character, it was the actor celebrating the end of the series"

There's already a place for archiving animes, MyAnimeList, so I really don't think MDL needs to be hosting these pages. Instead, they should be expanding the countries they archive live action dramas from (Philippines, Vietnam, etc).
