Is Heated Rivalry a BL? Is BL considered queer media? If not, what DOES make something queer media and who gets to decide those requirements?

These are just a few of the questions we’ve seen floating around throughout the Heated Rivalry craze and all of the discourse that has come with it. In this episode, we’ll be sharing our thoughts on the question of whether BL is queer media or not. We’ll also be talking about the pros and cons of strict division within media and more!

We've all experienced shows that have mad us angry. Whether it be writing that completely assassinates a character you loved, a plot line that completely takes you out of the story or just the entire show in and of itself 😡

This week, we're sitting down to talk about some of the BLs that have made us MAD over the years. From older shows to more recent, and from big issues to small one that simply irritated us throughout viewing, we're got a range of shows on our own lists.

Sharw which BLs have made you mad and why down in the comments! 👇
