Okay, I kinda want to see just what people think about this. I am sure a lot of you are aware with the whole commotion of heartstopper and Heavens official blessing a few months back.
And the whole thing kinda make me think..... Why is BL disgusting but something like heartstopper which fit's the whole critera of a BL is labeled queer and Good? And this is not only with heartstopper but other western media too like Call me by your name and euphoria, which are seen as artistic realistic queer portrayal but i know if those were Asian instead the hate would be Raining down hell fire
And I came down to two things - Heartstopper/"queer" media is made by a western autosr(american/english mainly)
So - something non asian - Queer and good
Something asian - BL and disgusting/fetish
westerners think (asian)BL=yaoi which is smut? but make an exception for "queer" media because then it's artistic or realistic?? (this only implies to the se* not the plot)
What do you guys think? Do you think there is racism/ xenophobia involved in this?
Also how would you classify Bl and Queer media? or how would you see them as different?
I don't want any hate towards anything/anyone and pls if things are getting heated just take a step back
I hope this does not feel like im attacking or trying to contradict, I am not, I do see your points I just want to go in a little more into it and ask what peeks my interest there taken from what other people have brought up. If at any point you feel like im attacking pls do tell me I t really is not my wish to do that and I will explain myself better ot give you the space you need
