What is very interesting to me about Gaga subs, is that you get the most inconsistencies early on (especially in regards to names) and then it may/may not improve further down the line, which makes me believe that the subs are most likely not only created from a transcript alone, but likely also from a Mandarin transcript while also probably being (at least partially) machine translated.

Same! I've seen a few BLs where they're implied to be verse, but I have rarely seen it explicitly stated/shown, and it's even rarer within the same couple.

Positions in the bedroom literally just comes down to preferences at the end of the day, and some don't even have them. It has nothing to do with their "vibes", their "energy" or their size, and that's what some of these people can't seem to understand. Not to mention how I often see people conflate top/bottom with dom/sub when they don't even mean the same thing.

Yes, they did say that—then proceeded to call it DID and represent DID in an awful way. At the end of the day it is still trivializing and romanticizing DID, whether it's a fictional diagnosis different from DID or not.

People in the comments are learning that kinks are uncomfortable when you don't have said kink. Well, duh.

Also, I understand having preferences for dynamics, but the way some of you guys talk about these characters and their dynamics, is just not it. News flash, bottoms can be dominant, and I also do not know what the hell "top energy" is supposed to mean. Some people here view BL and gay relationships in general in a specific way, and it shows.

Majority of BL out there follows the same bigger dominant top x smaller submissive bottom dynamics, so go watch those instead if this bothers you so much.

With that said, however, I can kind of understand the alpha thing, because that's a set trope, but also at the end of the day I really do not care and I embrace any time a BL tries to do something new with their dynamics. Sure, the execution may not be the best, but I still find it refreshing all the same.

There are times when they treat it seriously within the series, but for the most part it feels romanticized and/or trivialized. I personally also have an issue with how they're trying to manipulate this woman with a known mental illness because her father wants his daughter back after she witnessed her own mother dead when she was a child. He has this theory that making all 5 "personalities" fall in love with the same person will make them all "fuse back together"...

Not a term I see in the wild very often. Gets me very excited when I do see it, though 😄

Omg QPRs mentioned!!

Pretty sure iQIYI is the uncut version. From what I've heard, cut version will be out on YouTube later.

You're so real for this. He doesn't actually become relevant until episode 7, though, so it's safe to watch up until that point.

Before episode 7, he's only present in two scenes from episode 2, and at most you see the back of his head IIRC.

As someone who has a tendency to notice odd details, there is absolutely a door and it is definitely open 😜

I watched that part like three times just to make sure, and he definitely closes the outer bathroom door, but it's likely still left unlocked as I didn't hear any locking noise.

You might as well watch it another 10 times to really make sure you notice every single little detail about it 😉

Hey, so did anyone else realize they left the bathroom stall door wide open?

It's clearly a kink to Charlie and Babe and they're both into it so I don't really see any issues with it.

Let me get this straight, you think majority of the men signing up for roles where they kiss men for a living and they get paired with another man long term, are straight men?

Also when you say Earth, who exactly do you mean?

Your statistics don't exist in a vacuum. Just because majority of people are heterosexual, doesn't mean that cishet men are the people signing up the most for work where they kiss men for a living. Or are you telling me that that is exactly the case? Did you even watch the video I linked above? You don't think spaces for queer media consist majority of queer people?

I do wanna say I appreciate you for acknowledging bisexuals exist, though!

You do not understand a single word I'm saying.

You're no better than the people saying they're all gay by saying they're all straight. Why does their orientation even matter to you? We have no involvement in it. It's none of our damn business.

I urge you to watch this TikTok so you can put into perspective how absolutely silly you sound thinking most of these actors are straight: https://www.tiktok.com/@monarchofmars/video/7504044663762898206

We live in a heteronormative society so of course it would be the majority, but you can also be in a hetero relationship and not be straight yourself, and I assume that was never taken into consideration for the study you mentioned. That is my entire point. Maybe they present as straight because it's the easiest for them. There are so many different reasons for queer people to present themselves as straight, but the thing is that we as outsiders will never know that from a single glance. It's incredibly nuanced.

My argument was also never "majority of the actors in GMMTV are gay." I suggest you reread my first comment again.
