SE Asia has become a bit of a Mecca for Queer content - began as very niche media locally but they began to cater to the global queer audience about 4-5 years ago. Changed my life actually. It took many series before I was comfortable with 2 men kissing on screen but I made myself watch, despite a significant culture shock and it all being very low budget back then. I can now identify which country an Asian person is from bc hundreds of shows have been made by the same 6-7 countries and I'm familiar with their distinctions now - that's how much I've seen Western Gay media is terrible - Call Me By Your Name is perhaps the only movie I would recommend and Heartstopper the only Series. Heartstopper was/is an unbelievably big deal tho. It's just a decent teen HS romance about a young couple, dealing with young people stuff, one of those things being that they are both guys and the interesting set of challenges that brings - that was revolutionary, never, ever been done before in the west - I'm still waiting for one to die (how gay Western media pre 2022 ends) In all seriousness tho - I hope every gay boy in the world is able to see Heartstopper, perhaps the next generation of us will be happier. I'm sure more info than you asked for but whenever this comes up I try to leave a few breadcrumbs for those that haven't found their way to BL media yet
