Look, first of all, any person who isn’t able to separate fiction from reality, cannot see an actors’ performance for what it is and instead thinks they’re really their characters with those relationships is problematic and potentially delusional. This is a problem with not only BL shippers, but BG shippers as well. For example: look what happened… Read more

Seriously do not understand TVB’s standard for actresses these days. To me, she epitomizes the saying “but-her-face”. But ok, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I can see there are people in the comments […]

@sehseh I’ve seen the antis at work but I guess I’m mostly baffled by their existence. Cuz even if there was no Xiao Zhan there will always be another idol so it’s like, why waste energy like that? If it’s the […]

@alluka actually shortly after the incident broke, there were fake accts flooding Twitter with really negative posts about Xiao Zhan and even his parents, saying he’s dead or they’re dead, horrible crap like that. […]

@ccsoj Yeah, I’ve seen him #1 in other polls but I don’t know which poll is considered more important etc.

I wonder though if his slip in rankings also have to do with the fact that he’s pretty much […]

@hohliu But you may very well look younger than Joe Chen. It’s not just the numerical age but it’s also the facial feautures and complexion. Some people just age better, and some people don’t. It’s genetics, it’s life.
