I am always wary of mainstream BL stories. It runs the same gamut of Brokeback mountain. A gay film written by a straight woman, directed by a heterosexual man, starting heterosexual men playing gay. I just... it just doesn't sit well with me. It's just not my thing. It smacks of projected fantasy to me. (that and BB mountain was as dull as watching paint dry)
I avoid Heart stopper, and Heated Rivalries for the same reason. (this is a personal opinion and in no way an indictment against these shows.)
There are many, many, many authentic stories told by us, many gay/lesbian/queer actors and directors.... let us tell our stories. I don't know... just my thought on the issue.
