#chinese rep

[starrlikesbooks]

Sorry if this has been asked before but do you have a list of queer books that either have an Asian main character and/or written by an Asian author? (Preferably Chinese, since I'm Chinese and I'd love to see that representation, but other Asian ethnicities are also welcome)

I'll link some lists other people have made! x x x

okay so.

i have seen a pattern lately and i am not gonna let it slide. i know that fancasts in general are a way bigger debate than they should be in this fandom, and i’ve loved the spike in diversity between them thats come up recently! i genuinely don’t care about fancasts or have any real faces in mind when i picture these characters, but if you like to, good on you.

here is where i have been very frustrated lately: some of y’all seem to really struggle understand that asian ethnicities are not interchangeable. its become a really popular (and very lovely!) hc to picture sirius and regulus as asian. i love to see it! but i have seen people throw together a korean and a vietnamese person and go: “ta-da! sirius and regulus!” i have seen them defend their choices to asian people by saying some variation of “it doesn’t matter” “they look similar enough” or even just straight-up “well, they’re both asian” and like. it makes my fucking blood boil.

it’s one thing if it’s an honest mistake. it is entirely another if an asian person calls you on it and you decide that it truly doesn’t matter to you.

i could get into the harm that the cross-race effect has, but really i just need to say that perpetuating the idea that all asians look the same is inherently problematic. if you are the kind of person to declare that you see no difference or that there is no difference between different asian ethnicities: you are promoting a long-standing racist ideology and i’m sick and fucking tired of seeing it.

i (again) genuinely do not care about fancasts. picture whenever you’d like as whomever you’d like! but the moment that you cross the line into “whatever they’re both close enough”, that is where i will take issue with it. if that’s an idea that you carry with you outside of fandom spaces: THAT is what the problem is.

japanese people, vietnamese people, chinese, korean, philippine, desi, north south east west fucking ALL OF US have deep and rich cultural backgrounds and distinct features that differentiate us and make us all beautifully unique.

it matters to people. it matters in characters. in the media. in life in general. don’t fucking erase that because you can’t differentiate. do not knowingly and willingly erase us.

either take the time to learn and recognize that or stay in your fucking lane.

Hi

Why do u think people say they like cql more cuz wangxian are more “equal” while novel wangxian apparently have gender roles

Buying into the veiled censorship of "Da GAYS" that is bad for "traditional" nationalistic CCP standards. Remember kids, there is only one way to gay right, and it's not being gay, because CQL in itself, is not labeled by Tencent entertainment as BL, since that is against CCP production standards, it is not gay despite what the director tried to get away with.

Also, misogyny, that women (aka MXTX is a dirty straight fujo) are not allowed to write any other relationships, otherwise, you are being fetishistic by default and no one ever, can write a relationship, outside of their own sexuality, unless social media gay approved (by which it means, sanitized and only right by personal standards of whoever is gatekeeping what it means to be gay the right way, and no adults ever as well as teens can't explore their own sexuality until they are 18 and suddenly wake up one day going I want to be a good coffee shop AU cuddly only gay).

Whatever personal gay experience someone may have, does not make it universal, or, inoffensive to another, because being LGBT, is not a box like many want it to be and blocked from healthy experimentation and realization.

And on further note, it is a mainland chinese production, anything found on Viki, is from Taiwan and can be labeled as BL, mainland China does not allow the production of LGBT anything in it's production pieces, as it is illegal to profit off it.
