The asian media (music, movies, series, etc.) has spread around the world because of female audience. The beginning was the kpop gender, followed by the dramas and now we have the Boys Love phenomenon. The last one is so special because introduced homoeroticism as an element of asian media (this continent is always portrayed in western media as a very conservative and anti-LGBT place). When we talk about LGBT movies/series, most of people automatically think about LGBT people making this content for other LGBT people watch it. When we study the BL gender, we come across a fucking strange case: STRAIGHT women making gay content for other STRAIGHT women watch it. In other words, apparently all that comes from countries like China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and Taiwan is only for the female audience and don't concert about the male audience in no time (even if the male audience were gay as the content). So, the asian gay relationships are being represented and aren't being represented, at the same time. To be clearer, what's the point of making such series about gay couples if it's only for pleasure and fetish of straight women? Where does the gay public come in? Even the asian gay content is for female appreciation, even though they already have kpop and straight drama for them watch. When we see the fanmeetings with BL actors around the world and almost all of the guests are girls, we naturally think "Something is wrong".
What disappoints me is this: BL, as a gender that has introduced the homoerotic theme in asian culture, should be revolutionary in fact, but we can see the exact opposite - a gender where there are a lot of males kissing and fucking each other only to give pleasure for women, their opposite sex. It's the most conservative, reactionary and straight thing.
I go further: a very important series like KinnPorsche, that bring a lof of new elements to the BL world, should have much more gay audience that had. I was searching for tweets from people who watched this BL and about 90% of them were women. Again, I ask by myself: "Where was the gay public when KinnPorsche was released? Something is wrong!"
Now, you understand the title of this thread. It's about how we can insert the gay public in asian BL media!
