the last thing i’ll say about this bromance discourse is that they keep getting away with it bc of you people saying the issue is that all people care about is them kissing and having sex. reducing romantic and sexual interactions to a fetish isn’t the woke take you think it is+

In indonesia if you're queer they'll come to kill you too after they overthrow the government

and to be VERY clear, it is possible to either highlight male friendships without bringing in queerbaiting or make a bl without kissing scenes and just feelings heavy instead of calling and labelling that shit as "bromance"
oh my god i just saw someone use asexuality as justification for bromance tropes. genuinely, if you know nothing about actual queer representation in media, keep your mouth shut??

i don’t think the problem is bromance in and of itself. platonic relationships can exist between 2 men, obviously. but the main issue is how gmmtv handles bromance. if they are ‘just friends’, why promote them like you do with your couples?

aduh iya... pas awal tuh gw yg kayak ya ok mungkin akan dipromosiin sbg cp bl eventually kalopun enggak ya sampe sini aja. tapi makin kesini makin banyak dan gw ya SENENG mrk bareng tp queerbaiting jir ini. you can be happy for them and critic how gmm handles their promotions
queer people is a real thing dan bukan hanya objek fantasi. kita butuh representasi nyata supaya keberadaan kita bisa diterima oleh masyarakat. kalau queer relationships masih direpresentasikan sebagai bahan fetishizing tanpa pengakuan, itu apalagi kalau bukan bentuk opresi?

funny how ppl claim bromance isn't harmful when the moment we queer ppl ask for shows that don't queerbait and censor us, we're called pervs/fetishizers/s*x addicts, and actual queer shows are reduced to only p*rn. but bromance? apparently that's pure & beautiful
see the harm?

being indonesian feels like a cuck seeing other countries successfully kicking out their conservatives

kalo concern homofobia, queerfobia, misogini, ableisme, dan bentuk-bentuk diskriminasi lain itu "sepele" dan "bisa dikesampingkan" kalian itu opresor juga anjir cuma versi lebih miskin aja
kapan rezim ini mau runtuh kalau hal sekecil ini aja kalian ga bisa mengerti dampak buruknya untuk kaum marjinal.
