Saw the director of Addicted Heroin Thailand had posted this on his Facebook account:

This man looked at the show that was the tipping point of the first big anti-gay censorship wave in China in the 2010s, and decided to remake it and intentionally self-censor, just to see if he could attract the "Chinese BL is superior because it doesn't rely on kisses or NC scenes to show the emotions" audience to Thai BL?

I am so mad about this.

#addicted heroin th #addicted heroin thailand #addicted heroin the series #bl meta #fandom meta #honestly i don't care if this is justifcation after the fact or if it was what he set out to do #either way this rhetoric horrifies me #What a deep misunderstanding of the importance of the series we have had from China during this period #for pushing against censorship rather than voluntarily enforcing it where it doesn't exist #also what disrespect to the source material and the original series #to imply that the physical affection between the characters cheapens their romance or their acting in some way #and honestly i can't get over how utterly his plan has backfired #because the censorship itself has been the biggest barrier to me enjoying or recommending this show #typed so that i can stop thinking it
