My inner proofreader had to do something in order for me to watch one of Vikiās recent offerings without feeling antsy and anxious.
I feel so much better now . . .

It suddenly occurred to meā¦ what if weāre wrong, and it really is just āA League of Noblemanā meaning just one man, in his own league.

Last night, I read a Soompi interview with the author of the story that Tencentās League of Whoever is based on.
Apparently a lot of the ānetizensā [first use according to Merriam-Webster: 1984] are all a-goggle [look it up, itās a lovely English word] at the possibility of Chinese BL being a āthingā again.
The author of the story says basically, āUm, no. League of Whoever is a detective story, like the stories of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Back in the day, government officials were men, and the government officials who conducted criminal investigations were men.ā
Depending on which āAsianeseā ethnic group is under consideration, it is so typical in some dramas (C-dramas especially) for characters to gender-bend like crazy. I think at one point in . . . Legend of Fu Yao, maybe? . . . Yang Mi disguised herself as a young nobleman of some sort, and nobody noticed. Part of the wuxia fantasy.
If an actor or actress is part of an ethnic group in which males do not grow a beard well, and women are slight of build, and both men and women wear flowing clothes, and both sexes have a tradition of learning some kind of killer martial art, then a particular C-drama, dorama, K-drama, T-drama, lakorn, or other kind of drama may have LOTS of gender-bending, cross-dressing, and whatnot, but people have to get a clue.
If the author of a story says, āI wrote this story, and itās not what you think,ā then as far as Iām concerned, her word is the last word.
Also, as far as Iām concerned, the only legitimate type of story/drama that can claim to be BL is one coming out of the Japanese tradition of manga and more complex graphic novels. That whole thing started in Japan, itās been going on for a long time; it has very specific features.
I personally get annoyed when netizens squeal with delight at the possibility of some drama being BL . . . when they have no idea what that even means.
All right, then. Grumpy rant over.
EDIT:
BL, Japanās modern literary and entertainment staple, could be said, in some fashion, to be rooted in the religious traditions of Shintoism.
Iām not a Shinto shrine maiden, nor do I play on a YouTube channel, but seriously, treating BL as if it is simply some kind of modern pornography to facilitate maximum genital stimulation in a minimum amount of time is, IMHO, to COMPLETELY misunderstand Japan, Shintoism, and even, to some extent, human sexual attraction.
But, as has always been the case, those who do not know history and who do not take that history seriously are always going treat it as a joke.

So, the sequel can be about the two detectives coming forward in time, ending up on a baseball team, and using their skills to win baseball games, arrest ticket scalpers, and open their own Chinese restaurant.
