Personal blog. I post about queer media, Star Trek, and other bits of nerd fandoms.

Since we've gotten news that Wu is coming to Gagaoolala, and we've only been told that this is a bromance, we have arrived at an impasse.

If this show is actually just BL bait, GMMTV will have used a queer media platform to shore up a non-queer project. That will be unforgivable, and I will block GMMTV and all of their shows past and present going forward.

This is the line.

I have decided to unsubscribe from GagaOOlala. We now exist in a world where Heesu in Class 2 is considered queerbait, and bromance on the exclusive Asian queer media platform is not. We have lost the plot. I'm not funding this anymore.

When asked in the future what happened and why I stopped watching BL, I'm just coming back to this post.

[bengiyo]

We won. Thank you to everyone who reached out and helped with targeted unsubscribe messaging.

Tumblr is great bc you get to witness people going sincerely all the way fucking crazy with how much they love the dumbest/most mediocre piece of art you've ever seen and you get to really sit in how varied and vast the human experience is

Also it helps you never forget that to someone else YOU'RE the person going sincerely all the way fucking crazy over something incredibly mid. And I love that. Stay humble ❤️

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Some people out there are afraid of what’s different, and sometimes they want to hurt people like Stef and me. So, every time we’re out and I want to hold Stef’s hand, but I decide not to? I get mad. I’m mad at the people who might want to hurt us, but mad at myself, too, for not standing up to them. ‘Cause the thing is…
