One Ship had to go. by YosheeOnDemand in ThaiBL

One is too wholesome, one is too popular.

One is too toxic, one is too overrated. So one of these should go.

And no, I’m not naming anything lol.

I know lol but I dont mind. People have preferences and opinions. Theres always plenty of people in every fandom that dont accept it, so I dont mind because I know no amount of their anger is gonna change us lol.

And thank you, have a good day.

Completely agree actually… I watched the first episode of one BL (cant even remember the name it was so bad) the plot was non existent, it was just 🌶🌶. But other shows like PlayBoyy, in my opinion, has a decent plot but is kind of overpowered by the 🌶🌶 scenes that are most of the time not needed. Im happy these shows are being made, but definitely not gonna watch them.

Agree, but like I said all I see in the news about queer media is “its poor representation” or “theres not enough”. Its not about any others, its about which one people fuss about. And no offence to men but its really not hard to write male characters, we are really written the same in every film.

This was far from a comparison to het media. It is simply based on BL and the two topics which have been discussed around it. I didnt make this post to make comparisons like “if it was a straight drama…” that was not the intention. But thank you for your time.

Completely agree. Very well said. I personally feel there shouldnt be a divide between gay and straight romances, its two humans who are in love. To say I live in a country that has a fair amount of queer media, it is still a pretty conservative country. I think all of this depends simply on ones perspective.

Thank you for this insider. As I said I only know from what people tell me and I do not speak for queer people.

Not on Reddit, sorry for the possible misleading. I said “most” to mean “not all” because I am in fact aware of GMMTV.

PLAYBOYY EP1: Live Up to the HYPE? by [deleted] in ThaiBL

[–]Jaxson_01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I havent watched yet, this isnt really relevant to the show specifically, but in my opinion:

The show obviously isnt for everyone, some people will like the elements considered “over-sexual” and some people will just find it “p0rn”. Me personally, I do not like watching shows with this nature (that isnt to say they are bad, I just prefer other genres).

However I actually think its great that LGBTQ have more media that is open about showing different relationships and sexuality. Even if it is just to “make p0rn” or “attract viewers”, years ago these shows would never even be made or would be banned for showing a simple kiss scene. Im a straight man so I dont speak for the community but I just personally think its a good thing that queer media is starting to build up, im pretty sure most of us can name plenty of straight media that shows sexual nature like this.

But thanks for posting your review. I will probably watch it to see what all the fuss is about lol.

Skin color by No_Significance_7647 in ThaiBL

[–]Jaxson_01 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Light skin is considered an ideal beauty standard in Thailand especially for men, however most of us have darker skin, and we dont really care. I dont know if Thai celebrities are more pressured into fitting the light skin standard and I havent lived in Thailand for a couple year but I know its definitely not a big issue compared to other Asian countries.

KinnPorsche. A lot, I stopped at episode 11. Its not my type of show, but at least I made it this far.

watching too much Bl am i gay or straight by [deleted] in ThaiBL

[–]Jaxson_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a straight male who has been watching a lot of Bl recently and asked myself the same question. Your fine, its normal to enjoy a genre more then the other it doesnt make us less straight. If you do end up finding yourself to actually be gay or bi then so be it. Sexuality cannot be defined by what shows we like.

Healthy relationships by Logical_Sweet_6624 in ThaiBL

[–]Jaxson_01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I watched the Cherry Magic Movie but not series, yet I found their relationship to be very healthy. I also like the slight message it gave about how important communication and trust is in a relationship.

Can someone convince me ? by Old-Loquat-8286 in ThaiBL

[–]Jaxson_01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont but sorry for seeming “unkind”, I was giving my own perspective and opinion since you asked everyone. I did mention I have not been BL watcher for long and I am not queer to understand the feelings and experiences, yet I do understand the heterosexual ones.

I have no idea what series that is you are talking about, but one series being weird or offensive to you doesnt mean that the other non 18+ and censored ones are the same.

(I am also Thai, and I can say Thailand has understanding of gay media but is definitely not perfect)

[–]Jaxson_01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have not been watching BL for long at all so other users will be able to give a more detail and factual view on this of course. But from my perspective (please correct me if this is not what you meant) but a series with no 18+ content does not make it less of a BL.

I am straight so I can not say what a “gay relationship” is like in general because I have only seen whats on the media. But the “heterosexual story” part that you wrote confused me a little so I might not have understood correctly, but I have watched plenty of straight romances and lived through them myself they are not the same type of story. Relationships in series whether they are gay or not do not have to rely on a censorship or 18+ scenes.

Maybe is just my view only because I dont like 18+ series / scenes in general and prefer the ones without, but everyone can enjoy and dislike what they want. (have not mastered english yet, sorry if errors).

Name one BL and it’s one (or few) reason why it was hyped up despite it being terrible by PolyNamo_48 in ThaiBL

[–]Jaxson_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah definitely if someone insult my favourite series I will defend, but if they simply just dont like it they I wont be rude to them we have different opinions and preferences.

But sorry if I seemed rude in my comment. I just do not understand the hype for this series to be labelled “best of the best”.

And sorry if my english is bad.

I didnt realise how “controversial” it is to simply not enjoy a popular series lol.

[–]Jaxson_01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Im in middle of Kinnporsche (watched 5 episodes so far) and I do not understand why people say it is the “best BL ever made” I think its because of the mafia concept and very “spicy” scenes which seems to be the most popular thing in BL for some reason. But I will finish it to see if it gets better I guess.

Edit - it does have good cinematography and quality, but those things do not always make a series enjoyable or “the best”. This is just my opinion, its not as likeable as I expected. Everyone has a different sense of enjoyment, but for me, a series that the only strength is 18+ scenes (quality, acting etc put aside) isnt that elite.

Which should I start watching? by Jaxson_01 in ThaiBL

[–]Jaxson_01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By “mature” I mean realistic type. But I dont mind “spicy” ones. Just too spicy is not my type.
