PSA - you can speculate for fun and joke around w fans but pls pls do not start overthinking and taking things too seriously
i’m just putting it out there cause i feel some ppl here can’t seem to draw the line and get very emotionally affected over every single interaction
isn’t it ironic? if bromances exist to serve markets that are less accepting of openly queer content, aren’t we essentially adapting queer intimacy to accommodate the very prejudices that make queer representation difficult in the first place?
and if these bromance cps become successful, doesn’t that risk reinforcing the idea that the same chemistry and audience appeal are more marketable when presented as platonic rather than queer? what does that spell out for queer representation in media?
if your worry is that your men will be at a disadvantage because being gay on screen will limit their success then i’d suggest they don’t act in stories that play into romantic ambiguity between men or take part in any fixed pairings that commercialise and capitalise on the fanservice model.
It just occurred to me that Thailand actually produced Bromances AFTER Thai media wave started outside Mainland Southeast Asia, specifically after BL wave started.
When I first see Bromances shows being produced by GMMTV, I wonder why. Isn’t it better to offer what fans actually want, namely BLs?
Then, after many discussion with friends from other countries, and see how fanmeets were held, it dawns on me.
Thai media and actors/actresses have become targets in certain countries where LGBT+ media are banned/heavily censored. Governments of those countries look at anything in Thai entertainment industry with scrutinizing eyes.
Inadvertently, this issue creates many obstacles when Thai entertainment tries to hold events abroad. For example, you can’t have a fanmeet for a BL couple as a pair in certain countries. Concerts silently ban some singers.
In other words, bromances are a necessity, born out of a world not yet LGBT-friendly.
And you see this with how GMMTV actually put their most famous actors in bromance roles. It’s for fanmeets overseas, where they can include all actors neatly in a single event.
And fans from other countries can still ship (“imagine”) them just fine.
It’s a shame, really. But a criticism isn’t fair if it doesn’t consider every factor.
i think about this every other day… bonnie is so strong and independent. i get how big of a deal it is to admit to yourself that you’re just tired and let yourself share your “weak” side with someone else. (i still can’t do it)
“thank you p’mi for being a lovely partner always, for making me realise i can lean on others on days that i am weak. there’s no need to be strong on my own all the time. if it wasn’t for p’mi, i probably wouldn’t be standing here as well.”
emibonnie really put in so much effort into any since it would be a commercial representation of them but they accidentally fell in love with their love child when it came to life
now they’re the cutest and most loving family out there
