Hi. If a you're a new BL fan, you are very welcome to read. If you're an old fan, you really know the struggles.
1. We don't tweet #YesToGMMTVShutdown just because an episode didn't get full sub.
Thai ent really don't care about int'l fans way back then. Fans like us struggled to watch our favorite BL series.

Series like Sotus, Make It Right, Love Sick, these are few of thai BL we know today that we enjoyed before amid the language barrier.
This is the story how we meet these amazing subbers such as JayBL, LazySubber, GCinee, PinkSubs, GreyStag, etc.
We waited patiently for each upload. We always get poorly subbed episode yet we didn't complain. We understand that these subbers are also fans that wanted to reach out to us and to enjoy BL as well
We waited for like 2-3 days, or months (or worst a year) just to get a decent subbed episode.
We jumped from different websites to see which pages has subbed already.

Our small community is hidden under Facebook group chats and/or pages. We enjoy watching grammatically wrong and 240p quality episodes. But we never complain.
We always dreamed to understand Thai language so that we will not rely on subbers to understand a single episode.
We are always thankful to the producers of BLseries for realizing that BL is not only for Thai fans but also with us int'l fans.
New fans will never understand the struggle of compiling a link of each episodes just to not miss a single episode

We struggled to share our favorite BL shows on our respective accounts with a fear in mind that our friends and family will judge us for enjoying two boys being in love.
We old BL fans would like to go back to these wonderful era. Where looks of the actors doesn't matter.
Where kisses and bed scenes doesn't equate the quality of the series

Where BL fans doesn't have factions but rather a loving and accepting community.
This is what I truly missed.

I am very happy how BL is widely accepted globally especially in the Philippines--where hypocrisy and bigotry underlies. I hope that these acceptance doesn't end after 2gether ends.
Please enjoy watching BL series and end toxicity. BL is such a wonderful venue to discuss how great and dynamic love is. It tackles important life issues.
It's not about the beauty of actors. It's the beauty of the message itself.
