Wouldn't it be better to separate by country? I watch a lot of Thai BL and I think the Korean, Chinese and Japanese BL should have their own threads. It would make it easier for those who want to watch the BL in a certain language.

Should definitely separate by country

noted. i'll go ahead and make the threads soon. any name suggestions?

So for Chinese I think it's called Danmei? Or am I wrong and that's just a genre if it?
I think any name you come up with would be awesome, looking forward to it!

I'm not too deep into Chinese bl but I'm pretty sure Danmei refers more to books, at least that's how I heard it used.

danmei is a general term for BL in china, yes. it's used for all sorts of media, but you rarely see original manhua or TV series that aren't novel adaptations. not entirely sure how the term is used in the west, though.

it's actually a japanese loanword, if i remember correctly. means 'aesthetics' and generally refers to 'pretty' (female-oriented) BL.

okay i've created the threads now nonas, sorry it took so long. i tried to be creative

anonchama… what the fuck is a 'dangai'?

>>15
>what the fuck is a 'dangai'?
my c-fujo sister said it was the word they used to refer to live action adaptations of danmei

oh, 耽改. definitely wouldn't have recognized it without context, but i don't run in western fandom circles so i'm not familiar with what terminology they've appropriated these days. my mistake, carry on.
