Genius1111 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Quote To be honest, it reminds me A LOT of classic Hollywood under the old studio system. Actors signed a contract with a specific studio and those studios had an incredible amount of control over their lives. Fake relationships that were played out in the press were common. And they were very common if an actor was gay. It's almost an exact mirror of current fan service. In the old days, the gay actors pretended to be straight and even married fellow actors in fake relationships that played out in the news coverage. Usually the reporters were in on the secret, but they wanted to sell magazines and stories, so they went along with it. Today, we have straight actors pretending to be gay for the same reasons -- to sell shows and products and media coverage. It's their job. Until the fan culture changes in a larger way, it will continue to be their job. We see some actors who clearly don't want to do a lot of fan service (Gawin comes to mind,) but they are usually not the ones with the large endorsement contracts and huge fan meetings. There's money and career opportunities in performing fan service. Until there isn't a clear advantage...it will continue to happen. Speaking of Gawin, I've noticed that Krist has been somewhat excessive in terms of fan-servicing, judging from Gawin's IG stories. Quote Maybe it would be helpful for you to think of how the fake couples benefit the real ones. We know from Dr. Thomas Baudinette (who studies BL academically) that there are a small number of real couples acting together in BL, and given that most BLs are filmed in countries that are hostile to gay couples in real life, all the fake couples give cover and protection to the real ones and enable them to be together openly in a way that's safer for them because it creates plausible deniability, while also contributing to the normalization of same-sex relationships in wider society. Without fan service, the real couples would have fewer opportunities and less safety to be openly together in public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebur Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Well, since I had nothing to do with this end,I saw from the first 10 episodes of Stay with me and I liked many of them, it's cute, however, if I'm more critical, this serie lose the essence of addicted heroin from the old version and book, but it's understandable due to the censorship, however, it was nice, I still have 14 episodes to go that I'll see little by little the other weekend the same I'm in no hurry while a SUPPOSED second season is coming, unless the government cancels it but i'm looking at it as a different series with similarities and not something from addicted version,so i'm enjoying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappears in the mind instead of the screen" Praying for an OnlyFans cameo from Mr. PussyT Hoping that he is one of the hostel guests, and sharing the same space with either Thor or cute Ohm. Honestly hoping that we have lots of LGBT couples as customers, and of course gay/pansexual Boston humping most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevate Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I love super sexed up BLs tbh. I'm tired of everything being sanitised for kids or teens. I watched Heartstopper S2 and thought it was cozy and cute but was ultimately kinda bored and realised it was because the series felt like it was written for under 10s. I think there's this attitude that we have to remove sex from queer storylines so we don't seem hyper sexual to straight people. That kind of accommodating is why we've regressed so much culturally in the last few years alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
