Any thoughts on the current competition between Japan/Korea/Thailand when it comes to bl.

Seems like Thailand is getting steamier to differentiate themselves. Are the other 2 nations catching up? Should Gmmtv be worried? Can the others compete despite having more conservative cultures?

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't even know there a competition? like sorry but no one is on thailand's level in terms of bl, simply bc thailand is able to capitalize on popular shows & popular ships in a way korea & japan don't. the closest thing japan does is giving shows like ossan's love & cherry magic movie sequels, but that is nothing on the level on insuring longevity of a pairing like thailand does. for kbls, they're popular but don't have any legitimacy in korea & also don't capitalize their fans’ attention besides the series. also thailand has been producing bl series for the longest & has by far the most daring bl series of the 3 countries, while korean bls are only allowed to be mini series with quite simple plots & japanese bls all have the same office or high school setting. sooooo... as much as people wanna claim a competition, thailand has been unmatched so far & I doubt they will stop being so in the next few years, as they have recognized the power of bl on a global scale, and every other country hasn't.
