if arkarm were really both supposed to be gay for you then why was arm made admin of a Hot Boy facebook page in the first place? shouldn't he just be gay from the start? sus writing choice tbh
#MAYBE i missed something in the translations and he was bi from the start bc he does say 'beautiful people' but i think thai is enough of a#gender neutral language that that could mean anything#i KNOW that ark is 100% gay for you and they better do something to change it#also like. i don't wanna yuck anyone's yum#but i do have Issues with how on board the fandom has gotten with labeling them as bisexual (based on the novel)#imo when it's this trope that is too generous an interpretation and we really should push back against gay for you and its prevalence in bl#(especially bl written by women. obv it's a fallacy that all fujos are str8 women 'fetishizing' gay men but there are still prejudiced ways#that some women write queer men and that should be recognized as a real problem)#i think p'new did a really good job altering abaab enough that it avoided gay for you and gave him a storyline that also included exploring#and questioning his sexuality in a meaningful way and made him all but explicitly bi#and i'm sure they'll make changes for this script too#but i think people should be more critical of gay for you and not just be like THEY'RE BI :) when it wasn't the author's intention#intention isn't everything death of the author blah blah it still matters how queer people are portrayed in the first place#not just our interpretations#anywayyyyyyyyyyyyy#more shit that i can't say on twitter because someone would misinterpret it and get mad at me lol#ptl liveblog
