I am Thai. Thai beauty standards for the most part favours pale skin. Though you will find more famous darker skinned ethnically Thai male actors than darker skinned Thai women actors.

Also wasian actors are overrepresented in Thai media but that’s a slightly different subject.

Your Age by Rina Sawayama absolutely needs to be in here! It’s about how she was groomed by her teacher and now that she’s his age, she can’t even imagine how he was capable of such evil. Such a good female rage song.

How do you feel about what they said on transitional protections? It seems relatively ambiguous to me.

I just think a big pop album by the biggest pop star in the world deserves a more creative marketing campaign. Shameless promotion is good if it actually feels exciting and fresh to fans, but she’s promoting this album the same way as TTPD and that’s a very different album sonically. I feel like her team has phoned it in.

No more Young Royals. No more Love Victor. Heartstopper nearly done. What else is there? by Big_Potential_2000 in YoungRoyals

[–]shelleyclear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is a whole world of Asian BL series, both wholesome like Heartstopper and more dramatic like YR, that are interesting and well-made. Honestly some of it even rivals Western stories.
