when we use the word queer in english, it is an intervention intended to shape the mind of the english-speaking reader since language is a tool of meaning-making; when we speak of “queer”-coding in asian media, we intervene in english-speaking political & intellectual life

“against the capitalist reification of identities, chinese theorists redefine queerness as a critical relation to power not immediately assignable to a preexisting group. queer is not a synonym for homosexuality but a reminder of one’s relation to an unequal structure of power.”

one last point though which all else should be (re)considered: “…to raise the question of queer desire in this context is also to examine the incomplete project of decolonization in asia…” queer marxism in two chinas by petrus liu

may be a danmei vs boys love differentiation but always v interesting coming across discourse on this on the chinese side since the approach & meaning-making process seems so different! random comment on weibo under a video of a peking university professor speaking about danmei

i wanted to check out this very popular ongoing turkish dizi (daha 17) for alleged homoeroticism but the first episode was so bad it was practically unwatchable! anyway, i pushed through by skipping everything except for the main storyline between the brothers and well, yes!
