galaxiies said: i heard somewhere that this was turning into a BL by the directors, though i'm not sure if this is true. can anyone confirm? nothing's confirmed, but ive seen multiple articles advocating for it and showing many signs that it could become one. as long as they keep the main focus on skating, i wont complain :)) |

galaxiies said: i heard somewhere that this was turning into a BL by the directors, Are you talking about that click bait article from cbr? This? https://www.cbr.com/sk8-the-infinity-gay-romance-anime/amp/ Cbr is a site that always writes dumb click bait articles about anime and no, it's not confirmed by the director or any staff that it's turning into a bl. I think people just assume it's a bl because there are no female characters in the main cast. The volleyball anime and surf anime that's airing this season are more "BL" than this. |

| It'll probably be like Free, where there's plenty of subtext but nothing actually happens. It's a win/win for them since most shippers won't care as long as female characters are kept out of the way. |
| I'm kinda excited tbh |

| I haven't started watching the show yet but if that the case i will never try to watch it in future 😬 |

kobrejz said: What is "" "BL" "" ? Boys love, romance between two guys. OT: It'll probably just end up being fujobait like most other bishie sports anime. Then again Yuri on Ice exists so who knows maybe they'll actually commit to it. |

| If it does I wont be to mad. I think it could be cute! But im not getting my hopes up.:p |
 People with boobs > people with no boobs. My lemons > ur lemons Please just send to profile ^^ |
| I won't care for it if its just teasing,still i 100% started this for the skating and if the focus starts getting away from it i would be disappointed. |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| It's called a bromance lol. There is nothing yaoi about it what so ever. |
 |
| Nah just some bros skateboarding. I highly doubt there will be any kind of romance at all. |
| just bros skateboarding....after they exchanged a bouquet of red roses. lol. |
| beach episode next, we'll see what happens |
| why having teenagers being bros enjoying their youth considered BL? fujosh need to chill |
itcouldbedeep said: Why is gay people existing with hobbies and enjoying their youth with or without having a light element of romance considered unfavorable? you guys do know that gay people have hobbies right? a lot of people consider the legend of korra wlw so maybe we don't have to assume that an element of bl would take away from the focus of skating and friendship. While I completely agree with you, most of the people who said they’d drop this instantly if there was any romantic interest between the characters are most likely either homophobic or afraid to catch the gay/be called gay if they watch a show with same sex romance. And before anyone who just said that this won’t turn into BL feels attacked: I’m not talking about you (I specifically mentioned the people who announced they’d immediately drop it) and also said “most”. I personally don’t think it will have any BL elements either by the way, but I also wouldn’t mind if there were any. I don’t care either way, the show is great so far. |

| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| good lord okay first of all the people saying "I'll drop it if it ends up being BL but I'm not homophobic I just think it will ruin the plot" shut up you are 100% homophobic Secondly: Yaoi and BL are different. Yaoi is a fucked up sexual genre made to fetishize gay relationships. BL is just gay romance. Also Fujoshi's and BL fans are different. Fujoshi fetishize, BL fans just enjoy gay romance. Lastly: who cares if it ends up being BL or not?? Yeah it might just be a bromance, or maybe it will end up being BL but like who cares?? It's a good skateboaring anime either way and I'm enjoying the friendship of Langa and Reki and I will be happy either way it goes. Although it would be nice to have more gay representation that isn't specifically made just for the purpose of being gay. Like another comment was saying gay people have hobbies like yeah exactly. Plus a lot of gay anime out there is mostly made for the fujoshi type, so I would love it if anime including gay relationships and lgbt in general would be normalized more. If this anime is set up as a skateboaring anime and then the two mains end up falling in love, but that's not the focus that would make for really great representation, |

It would still be a beautiful skating anime?? Gay characters/gay romance isn't gonna fucking ruin that. |
My_chan said: Too many ppl to quote smh. 1. Yaoi and BL are actually one and the same. If you’re a fan of the genre and know a little of its history and how it started you’d know this. It’s only in the west that they make the distinction between yaoi and shounen ai. That’s not done in Japan. It’s all mainly referred to as yaoi or BL. But bc I know many ppl don’t know this and most are used to these western distinctions, I stick to just using BL in general. It’s just easier imo. 2. Being a fujoshi does NOT mean you fetishize gay men. *insert eye roll* Ppl really should stop throwing around their own definitions smh. 3. Ppl seriously feel the need to announce they’ll drop the show if somehow there’s gay romance in it?! I’m not interested in the opposite sex and yet I’m forced to see that ALL the time. If I had to drop shows bc of it then I’d barely have anything to watch smh. A show is capable of being multiple genres and yet still mainly focus on one. You’d be hard pressed to find a show that’s just one genre and just bc two male characters happen to have a romantic relationship doesn’t mean it’s a BL if that’s not the main focus. Clearly, this show’s main focus will always be skating. It’s in the name smh. Yaoi and BL are different. Yaoi focuses on sex, BL doesn't. There is a distinct difference. Yes, Japan doesn't always make the distinction but you will notice even on this site that BL manga that contains heavy sex scenes are listed as "yaoi" whereas manga that just feature a gay relationship without it being overly sexualized for no reason is tagged as "Shounen Ai" that's because there IS a difference. And yes being a fujoshi DOES mean fetishization. Literally it means "rotten girl" it's a gross term used to describe girls who fetishize gay relationships. If you are a fan of gay romance but don't fetishize then don't call yourself a fujoshi bc that is exactly what that is. |
