THAILAND 🇹🇭 | AI ART: Thai Boys love series
โพสท์โดย อ้ายเติ่งThailand is, arguably, becoming one of the leading players in the production of boys-love series, with productions attracting a rapidly rising number of fans across the globe. Some of you reading this might even belong to the said fanbase, while others, despite not having watched any Thai boys-love dramas, may have heard of the genre in passing, thanks to its ubiquity on social media.
The present-day massive success of the Thai boys-love series can be attributed to several factors. Among the most important is the open-minded environment that provides the genre with a space to grow and reach its potential.
Stemming from the openness of Thais to let people be themselves, many stigmatized groups are usually tolerated in Thai culture, including, of course, same-sex couples. As can be seen from several records, non-binary people have existed and have been recognized within Thai society for ages, without being actively prosecuted by the authority for the most part. This, naturally, continues today, where Thailand, for example, is well-known for its prominent transgender community.
Unsurprisingly, this open-mindedness allows for the boys-love series to flourish, without suffering major conservative backlash or prohibitions from the authority. Nonetheless, it should also be acknowledged that as open-minded as Thais are, there are still some imperfections regarding the treatment of the LGBTQ+ community in Thailand.
Despite this, great efforts have been made, especially in recent times, to alleviate such injustice and pave way for Thai society to fully embrace diversity.
