#'jc and jl are the only ones that we see expressing the disgust towards queerness that That Post suggested the entire cast of felt'

Thanks for weighing in on that “JGY outing LWJ” meta. I found ludicrous the idea that LXC and JL sitting away from Wangxian indicated othering instead of politely trying to give the couple some privacy.

I look forward to your in-depth analysis of homophobia in MDZS society. I think there’s some degree of scandalousness to being gay, but it’s overlaid with classism. But see: the random cultivator’s awkwardness in telling JC about MXY, WWX weaponizing MXY’s homosexuality against the Mo family, and WWX worried about LWJ’s response to JC’s accusation.

Separately, what’s the title of the audio drama extra you referenced? It sounds hilarious!

glad you appreciated my little rant about that anon!

yes i agree, there are times in the novel where being gay is treated as scandalous - we see quite a few different reactions ranging from jc's outright disgust to people having no reaction at all! but overall, we are not presented with a world wherein wx (or even mxy - he openly made advances on multiple people) are fearful of expressing their sexuality due to social backlash, as was suggested in that meta.

the audio drama episode was 'a lost desire'
