The No Kings protest organizers in Portland intentionally led people away from ICE, walking into a loop nowhere near any institution we are demanding change from.

Liberal protests always try to ride the coattails of revolutionary street actions, attempting to take credit for its work, but without taking any of the risks freedom necessitates. There’s a reason liberal protests always fizzle into nothingness - there’s no demands, no confrontation with power, no risk taken to achieve freedom, and that’s what the people in power want. They want permitted jogging that doesn’t even confront the institutions we want changes from. That’s why they announce such protests are not a threat (to them and their power). They want us walking in circles and then going home thinking we’ve achieved something.

Domundi and Copy A Bangkok need new horny music 🙈 we can't be using the KingUea song over and over again, it is already occupied. It's a nice song tho.

I'm not watching My Stubborn, but it's a really fun show to follow through gifs. Spiritually I've grabbed my pitchfork and joined you in cheering for Sorn's suffering

Being a fan does not ever involve a purity test.

This kind of gatekeeping smacks of patriarchy--oh yeah, you like F1? Tell me all about the engine changes this year--and it's so gross.

Anyone doing this needs to grow the fuck up and just enjoy life.

I just saw a cluster of folks saying elsewhere that if you only watch the BL series your favorite actor is in and not their het series also, you’re not a Real Fan. So I promise you here and now: I could not, in any reality, in any universe or dimension of time and space, give less emotional weight and value to the endeavor of Being a Real Fan.

I mainly watch queer things, but I’ll watch a het thing if it interests me—not because I want internet validation from strangers.

Watch whatever you want and recognize that people trying to create a worth-based hierarchy for fans are on a self-assigned journey up a mountain and you don’t need to climb it with them.

Haven't watched anything KristSingto recently but he's right

You can think of fanservice what you want. But the moment you want to police or censor it, it turns into something really problematic. And this stance comes from 2 or even 3 different oppinioned sides but they ironically melt into the same outcome.

But at the end of the day most people forget / ignore, regardless of anything, fanservice still helps normalising public queer affection. And let's be real, most of the stuff in those stage and event shows are that... a show or even a performance! Do you protest at your local theater when they have queer characters kissing? Do you notice how this sounds in a sentence? Yes actors are real people and not characters but especially BL actors & idols still perform stage shows and kind of have a public enertainer persona. You notice how different they are on stage vs. in their personal live streams + nowadays most actors are even very honest about just doing fs for show & fun and often genuine (platonic) affection towards their acting partner but don't pretend to be actual dating (and the ones who do will most likely not lightheartedly come out with it like that... apparently there are exceptions but I have not enough insight on them to judge). You should watch some serious interviews or live stream (translations) of your favs now and then maybe to learn more about them and the industry, they are more than just pretty faces... Actors in just my bubble who talked open about the fanservice topic as far as legally possible at least: JamesSu, Perth Nakhun and I guess we can count Pavel and Nut as well.

What fans make out of it is a whole different story.... and one of the reasons people want to shut down fanservice as a whole. But imagine how lighthearted, fun and easy going this whole thing could be if we didn't had all these toxic naive fans who think every interaction is proof of actors dating (or worse: cheating) in RL. That mindset of "we are BL fans of course we are delulu" is not a joke anymore among some of them. They srsly take pride in that... babes you are part of the problem, stop encouraging it!

Then on the other side, being critical of some of the practices of the industry is one thing but it should not lead into backwards queer censoring... but that's what some are swaying to with their "real people queerbait" agenda or getting the cringes when (samesex) people interact romantically or erotically during live events (that's a bit of a you thing my dears. not necessarily in a queerphobic way but in a purity / shy way and that is a you problem to deal with not anyone elses problem)....

And a lot of people don't even understand or get what most people criticise about fanservice and just jump onto the ban-fanservice train. Without understanding the nuances nor the actual industry circumstances. Like one main argument here isn't even true. Lot of people assume actors get forced into fs. Which is not true (source: one of Perth Nakhuns Q&A vids, the 2. vid i think). BL actors usually know what they get into by entering the industry, decide with eo how much they want to do. Now that can still cause internal personal conflicts like one going over board or not playing enough but that's human miscommunication. Or companies can still be bastards but it's unfair to generalise it over the whole industry when we nowadays have companies who give their actors that freedom.

There are still some points to criticise, definitely. Like I personally dislike how MCs and sponsors sometimes treat actors during events or how fans scream at every little move or glance like crazy.... But the topic is a bit more nuanced (as always in this world) than how most people look at it. I just mean it really always sticks out when you talk with people about their reasons why they are anti fanservice that they just repeat after another with no sources or without actual up to date information or only look at it from one side.

I personally am in the middle. I only like fs when the actors have fun with it and are transparent about it. In the end it comes down to actors consent what they want to give to the audience (reason why it annoys me when people write "i feel like i am interrupting something here / am intuding their privacy" the actors consented! they want you to watch if you want to see it! consent babes! it is fine)

(when i see someone coming in with "but Krist is a homophobe" I will bite you. I am not even his fan and already researched what happened back then when I first saw those accusations when I got into BL 2021ish. It is really not that hard to look up the source and reports of people who were live pressent at the time to understand what went down back then. Ya know instead of believing rumors that twist and lie for rage bait)

When people in Europe talk about how we don't ever leave the US, I think of this image. Those lakes touch EIGHT of the FIFTY states in the US. That's how big the US is. Sometimes people don't leave because there are 50 states they want to visit first. Also leaving is...prohibitive when you live in a state where you can't easily drive to another country.
