Sorry to disappoint you, 12万 means 120,000. Not 12 million.

It might seem low but then we need to remember that it is a show that is web-based only and it requires one to pay for vip access. So, it is really a feat in itself.

If you are interested, a somewhat related topic of banning a book that alleged the first prime minister of the PRC at the time was established, was indeed gay.

Mind you, a /…/ Hong Kong entertainer was even cut from a CCTV (Chinese state tv) variety show after he shared on Facebook an article about the book /…/ (cr. March 27th Taipei Times)

Spoiler

The disappearance of the series late last month, which triggered an uproar on social media, displays “Chinese authorities’ distinct discomfort regarding homosexuality,” Time magazine reported. Such discomfort is also reflected in China’s handling of The Secret Emotional Life of Zhou Enlai (周恩來的秘密情感世界), a new book about the late Chinese premier Zhou Enlai (周恩來).
WAS ZHOU ENLAI GAY?
When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) defeated the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) in 1949, Zhou became the first premier of the People’s Republic of China, holding the post until his death in 1976. Charming, gentle and sophisticated in public, he presented a modern face as the country’s second most powerful man, serving as a role model for a “new China.”
But a new book, Secret, says that he may have been gay.
“Zhou Enlai was a tragic figure. He was very famous and always under the media spotlight,” the book’s author Tsoi Wing-mui (蔡詠梅) told BBC News. “But there were many aspects of his life that were like riddles and difficult to explain.”
Tsoi’s hypothesis is based on Zhou’s diary entries and personal letters, alleging that he harbored a lifelong love for a schoolmate, and that his sexual orientation would perfectly explain some “mysteries” about his life.
Tsoi said these mysteries include Zhou’s coldness toward his wife Deng Yingchao (鄧穎超), a former chairwoman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, in a “marriage of convenience” that benefited their political purposes.
It also helps to explain his absolute obedience to Mao Zedong (毛澤東), who may have threatened to reveal his secret. After all, Tsoi stressed, homosexuality was seen as a sin against socialism because the communists, somewhat oddly, labeled it “a capitalist way of life.”
Unsurprisingly, Tsoi’s book has been banned in China. Hong Kong entertainer Wong He (王喜) was even cut from a CCTV variety show after he shared on Facebook an article about the book.
The bans on the popular drama and new book make it clear that China has yet to accept homosexuality. Indeed, the Chinese government did not decriminalize gay sex until 1997, and homosexuality was classified until 2001 as a “psychiatric disorder.” The world’s largest country by population has no openly gay politician because that would be political suicide.
LGBT CENSORSHIP
Beijing likes to show its strength through authoritarian gestures, but censorship on homosexuality, like many other human rights issues, merely shows its fear and causes considerable anger among its population./…/
 

Paranoia squared…

Maybe they should start embracing it instead of fighting it like that,  when smth is the norm it won't be as impactful as when it was forbidden and considered taboo

@gayyoxx No idea really, haven't researched it though... I just saw it reading an article, ancient ago, of Joshun Jackson (remember him, of Dawson's Creek, Fringe, etc.). He has a sister named Aeislaeigh and I thought what an unusual way to spell it out (the usual is Ashley and I love that name) and such a tongue twister... so it got stuck with me ever since, using it as my username everywhere...  

 

Your's is a slightly different spelling, but if my son had been a girl his name would have been Aeslaigh. It the female form of his name, which means fire or 'warmth of home.' (And yes, Gaelic.)

Please vote what folder should I release next..Cannot make up my mind ;______;

Only somewhat related to Addicted cos of the theme of the show.

Spoiler

Actually the LGBT is a large community in China..how can it not be when they have so many people. In Feb 2015, there is actually a short film called "Coming Home" filmed by a Chinese to depict how the these LGBT people wanted to go home for Chinese New Year and how they feel being in a society that seems not to,acknowledge their existence,

If he flew on Sunday, that might explain why Johnny wasn't online so late last night. When I woke up this morning and saw no notification about Johnny being online, I had an immediate thought that Zhouzhou secretly flew to Dandong. But then again since it's a rumour, then those fans who made up the rumour are probably delulu like me because they got the app and realise Johnny wasn't online. Well it depends on when the rumour got out though lol. I only thought about it because I realise he wasn't online so late last night. Checking the time Zhouzhou was online yesterday, if he really went to DD yesterday, it'd be around 2:45 pm or 8:00 pm because that's the only time there's a 2-3 hours gap.

I use Chinese time so it wouldn't sound weird about the timeline.

The rumor got out way before today, I read many fan accounts claimed that they saw XWZ at Dandong airport last night. Many XWZ fan sites were being secretive so maybe there were really something?

Of course, it's only rumor, no photos, just their words.

Spring revolution has started, hearts has been stirred, change is in motion.  Another cultural revolution, this time, not through political means, but tacitly through the heart and voices of the modern people.  It will slowly change and revive old customs, a positive change to look forward to.

I came to slowly realize that to be a solid rock in this fandom, one have to learn restraint, acceptance and tolerance.  Be restraint with our love because the time and environment requires it, in order to protect what we love.  Be able to accept the pain and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with this fandom.  And finally, learn to tolerant what we can't control (environment/SAPPRFT/infighting between fandoms) and support them both earnestly.  

I know that many of you are angry and depressed at what JY and ZZ have gone through in April, but I would like to offer another point of view to comfort.  Some people go through life having experience very little, accumulated very little life experience, thus they end up having very little personal growth and wisdom when they reach old age.  What JY and ZZ has experience within the last six months is equivalent to a lifetime of experience for some.  This unique combination of being blacklisted from TV, forced separation, and injustice treatment by those with higher power is something I've never seen before!  To experience so much in their early 20s, I can only say that this will lay a strong foundation for personal growth and wisdom (what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!).  When I observe both of their temperaments and compare it to early BTS/before Addicted, I can see a sense of maturity and security in their aptitude that wasn't there before.  Life without struggles is not worth living for, because the greatest lessons in life can only come from those points of struggles.  

I believe these two will go far.  Even though external forces are trying to erase them, the world will not forget.  Their names won't be written on water.

8 days left for the major project of supporting message project..

If you missed it, here's the link in details of the project. Do share this to your other Addict friends.

The boys need our supports!

Merlin's beard! I was about to post about the project and your post came @tea4two   Thank you for your words! (Though at first I was quite dumbfounded, be like "Why? Why suddenly sound so poetic? Why? Sorry ignore me ;__;")

Thanks @skeletonworks I'm always missing things . I only remember people saying that he had some crush on ZZ and then later after possibly seeing the chemistry between the two that he backed off or something like that. I hope that they aren't going through much more crap than what is already happening presently.

Thanks Again!

The one who expressed his love for ZZ at wb and then deleted all his wb post after YYT, is not that guy but a men's uno photographer or editor.

Fans never fail to mob the boys at the airport every time! Travelling secretly seems like an impossible feat so how does ZZ do it? Lmao I'm so curious. Do their management normally release information to fans regarding the boys' schedules and travel plans in advance but chose not to this time?
