BL in the mainstream Philppines

So in India this isn’t really mainstream. And i am also a new fujoshi (I started in 2019)if you compare it to the whole world but in my whole city I am probably the only one who...... 1 reply
Wait... mainstream na ba yaoi sa pinas or yung mga thai bl kasi yun palagi nakikita ko na open sa social media mga kaibigan ko
Anyways... I'm very happy that the generation of today is very open to this kind of thing pero siguro wag na lang masobrahan sa pagka-"fanatic" na ishiship mo na lahat ng lalaki because of a slight intimacy/friendship... J...... 2 reply
