What do we know about this show? Do we have any more details about this show?! Maybe SK is gradually coming into a new era of LGBTQI+ acceptance (at least in media)??? 🌈🌈🌈 https://www.allkpop.com/article/2022/05/south-korean-ott-platform-wavve-under-discussion-for-a-new-gay-dating-entertainment-program

I WAS JUST TALKING TO KEVIN ABOUT THIS OMG. Your link (which, allkpop is trash but I'll allow it because there's not much else about this out there):

And here's the text so you ain't even gotta click if you don't wanna.

Oh look boys kissing! No? Identifiable boys close to each other! Definitely gay boys! Still... no?

No seriously I stole that pic straight off of KBIZoom talking about the EXACT SAME SHOW POSSIBILITY - but they had to censor the shots in case anyone thought the models might be ... kinda GAY. I believe we see closer stuff than that on your average Memories DVD:

BUT ANYWAY Kevin and I were discussing it - he brought it up. And I was like "uh BL (boy love) is a huge market, it'd be stupid not to make some bank on it" and he goes, "This is Korea. Boy love as a genre is acceptable here because it's fiction. A reality show with actual people willing to be out on television is going to be a hard sell for both the audience and the potential cast." So I go well what about the fact that they're even considering it then, and he goes,

"Considering, curious about, beginning market research on, all words that mean this is not something that is ready to happen here yet. Maybe in the next administration, but not now. They probably started round-table-ing this idea a year ago, but with Yoon in office? It's not happening. Give it a few years to let the idea simmer and see what the next President does." But my trash white American girl opinion is that of course it would be a great idea -- in theory, it could open some eyes. Except that the conservatives wouldn't watch it. Much like Drag Race here and in Europe, it would be a niche market for the first few years. WATCH ME JUST DIGRESS HERE I DO THAT SOMETIMES

Kim Chi competed on and nearly won Season 8 of RuPaul's Drag Race, and is a Korean man with Korean parents. He is 34 years old and at the time he competed, his mother knew only that he was a gay makeup artist. His father and his brother didn't even know he was gay. And I'm not sure they know now. And this dude lives in Los Angeles by way of Chicago. I can't imagine what his life would be like in Seoul, or Daegu, or Busan. And while Kev agreed that yeah, okay, drag is a step farther, he also said, interestingly, that drag might have been MORE acceptable to his own Korean mother (rest her soul) than having a gay son would have been. Because he could have argued that he was into it for the theater - a bit of Japanese kabuki styling - versus "oh hey eomma I do sexy time with men, woke up gay today, bit fruity."

So the upshot is that gay fiction is one thing, but gay reality is entirely another. We're back to the "we don't talk about those things here, it isn't polite." Enjoying the romantic drama of two young (they're always young, Kevin noted, not being particularly young himself) pretty men is not the same thing as seeing Jungshin from accounting on a dating show.... for GAY PEOPLE. And Kevin pointed out that honestly, even BTS are seen as fictional characters in Korea (and likely elsewhere). The idea that they are real human men with real romantic interests and real sex drives doesn't really fly, there. Not yet, anyway. So the "boy love" aspect is fine, as long as they're young, famous, pretty, and they don't admit to TOO much.

This is okay. ETA: and the above shot is edited, in case anyone didn’t know. See my fictional character point?

This is okay. But if they kissed or came out, that would NOT BE OKAY. And Taekook is not real, but the Jeon Parks are about as loud as they can get what with dropping honorifics like that, so as long as they're riding the line of fiction vs reality they're still okay. Full on reality or even depicting reality, though, is still not okay - at least, not on the Seoul Broadcasting Network (SBS), who censored out the kisses in "Bohemian Rhapsody", the Freddie Mercury biopic as recently as 2021. And that caused some backlash on the internet:

But it hasn't changed a thing on the networks. YET. Maybe someday. Hope springs eternal.

New Sexuality Label!

I couldn't find a label to fit me, so I made my own.

Egoromantic

Flag:

Definition:

Egoromantic: A person who experiences romantic attraction, but whose feelings may or may not include the desire for reciprocation or a romantic relationship. Egoromantic individuals may experience fluctuations in their desire for reciprocation or a relationship, and their romantic feelings may be primarily internally focused.

Meaning of the flag colours:

Purple: often associated with royalty and self-importance, which represents the self-focused nature of egoromantic feelings. Pink: a common colour for romantic attraction, but a lighter shade represents the fluctuating nature of egoromantic desires. Grey: a neutral colour that represents the ambivalence or uncertainty that egoromantic individuals may feel towards reciprocation or relationships. Black: a bold colour that represents the independence and individuality of egoromantic people.

Commonly asked questions:

where does Egoromantic fall on the sexuality spectrum?

Based on the definition provided, Egoromantic seems to fall under the aromantic umbrella. This means that it is a label that describes someone who experiences romantic attraction in a non-normative way, which in this case means a fluctuating desire for reciprocation or a romantic relationship. However, it's important to remember that labels and categories are just tools to help us understand and communicate our experiences, and not everyone may feel that Egoromantic (or any other label) perfectly fits their identity. What matters most is that you feel comfortable and empowered by the label you choose to use.

You could say that egoromanticism is a specific type of greyromanticism, or that it falls under the broader umbrella of the aromantic spectrum.

Is being Egoromantic selfish?

Being Egoromantic is not inherently selfish. While the label does emphasize a self-focused approach to romantic attraction, it's important to remember that there are many different ways to experience and express romantic feelings, and not all of them involve wanting or needing reciprocation or a traditional romantic relationship.

It's perfectly valid for someone to prioritize their own needs and desires when it comes to romantic feelings, as long as they're honest and open with the people they're attracted to. In fact, being honest about your feelings and desires can be a sign of respect for others, since it allows them to make informed decisions about how they want to engage with you.

That said, it's always important to be considerate of other people's feelings and needs as well. Just because you're Egoromantic doesn't mean you should ignore or dismiss the feelings of the people you're attracted to.

Content Warning: religion and transphobia⚠️

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ I made a comic reflecting on my church upbringing as an eXvangelical trans person. The Jesus conservative Christians claim to represent looked lot more like many of the LGBTQ+ friends I know and love. Just some food for thought 💖

We posted this comic to Reddit a while ago, but it was suggested to us to repost it today. So we're doing that here too, and adding a page at the end ;)

Happy trans day of visibility!

Shoutout to trans men!

Shoutout to trans women!

Shoutout to nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, etc. people!

Shoutout to POC trans people!

Shoutout to disabled trans people!

Shoutout to closeted trans people!

Shoutout to all the trans people of our past who paved the way for us!
