It would be interesting if they were "outed", it would force the public to either accept or reject the reality that gay actors exist, encouraging debate, and would mean they no longer have to hide and feel pressures of ruining each others careers. If they do get fired by their management, then maybe look at what legal reaction they could enforce for discrimination. As realistically, can they survive as a couple within the current secrecy dynamic?
Are you perhaps new to yaoi? In a yaoi manga setting, 95% of the time that would never happen because it's usualyl written for quick sex and entertainment. And if something similar did happen, it would never go as far as to be politically correct. It would be nice to read a story that's realistic in that sense, but even so I rather it just be smooth sailing for this story because I don't want angst.
Are you aware of the IRL status of LGBT in Japan? It’s gotten a lot better in recent years, but what you’re describing is not something we will realistically see for quite a while. Whilst some fiction/yaoi does touch on the idea, from what I’ve seen, it’s always brushed ff as something that is so easily resolved ie either the fans accept their idols being gay or they completely brush it off to the side.
We do NOT need a rival. I just want things to go smoothly.
