To Satisfy My Queer Heart (modern edition | macro version)

mlm

cw: abandonment

Bi/pan leads and one intersex person that might be trans

trans explanation: after Liu Ting has his sex change, he doesn't seem to be really comfortable as a man.

wlw 

cw: bullying, minor/adult relationship, statutory rape (not depicted), ghostly assault (surreal depiction), suicide, drug use

I interpreted the lead as gray asexual aromantic just because he doesn't really seem that interested in dating. It seems like he does it because it's expected of him. He seems to be sexually attracted to one person because of specific things which makes me think he is graysexual

trans character, and this time he's the ultra rare ftm! He might actually be the first one I've seen in dramaland now that I think about it. I think I've only ever seen ftms in documentaries so far. we also briefly see a polyamor-esque relationship at the very very end.

there's also a lot of mlm kissing, though I'm not sure what that's about

cw:  drug (speed), gang related violence, rape, murder, deportation, police corruption, stalking, knife violence, gun violence, dead naming

mlm and some rainbow flag gear

cw: stalking, school bullying (referred to), self-deprecating

mlm

cw: death, suicide scare

mlm wlw

this is a miniseries about two dads and their son! They go to pride together too. 

cw: missing child, closeted relationship, drinking, implied (casual) alcoholism

mlm wlw

We got an ally minor character! This felt more queer than BL. It had references to gay culture,sex, and drug life we don't typically see in BL.

cw: cheating, sexual assault, minor/adult relationship (mentioned but not shown), drug use: alcoholism, cigarette usage, poppers, ecstasy (Im guessing), possibly more?  bruh i couldn't keep up ?

mlm pansexual

ok yall listen to me... i interpret Oh Jinseop as pan. Why? Okay, mira eso when the lady friend says something like "i know everything about you" this man is like, oh thats my turn on and he has sex with her. y with the ML? What does he eventually say to him, "I want you to know everything about me" listen my gaydar? its blaring sirens rn this man is pansexual. i just know it. also some dialogue was a bit homoerotic.

I feel like there's also some transcoded things. Some of the writing in the beginning sounded a little like it could be interpreted as dysphoria, and the FL brings up the question of whether or not Jinseop would want to trade bodies with her.

cw: body horror, self-harm, HNG combat, stalking, wire tapping, bullying (by students but outside of school setting), assault by police, organ transplant, organ trafficking

Gray/demiromantic coded ML (possibly aroace), crossdressing villain, gay-coded minor character 

The crossdressing villian is likely NOT transgender

cw: serial killing, blood, casino, gambling, stabbing, abuse, child abuse, arson, murder of sex workers

mlm

cw: child custody, closeted, outing, death, animal death, homophobia, dementia

ML appears to be heteromantic asexual. There are some hints of demiromanticism, but I'm not sure. 

characters are kind of flat, but other than that it's alright. As of episode 7 its unclear if the ML is ace or just has a complex? Or if it's both and he's just trying to meet her needs.

cw: acephobia, pressure to have sex/kiss

I believe Yashiro is a trans woman, but this is never fully explained and they use the term crossdressing rather than trans so I can't say 100% 

cw: harassment, sexual assault, threatening to out someone via blackmail

mlm: 1 gay, 1 bisexual, and 1 crossdresser

and of course we have our cheating bisexual trope because is it really a bi story without one? /s We also have crossdresser who crossdresses as like some kind of fetish? I really thought he was going to be trans T_T

cw: stalking, infidelity, threatened outing with blackmail

mlm

cw: idk i dropped it

mlm wlw

the two MLs are both mlm. Shyuuhei I think is pansexual and Yuki seems to be a mix of homosexual and bi/panromantic. 

Maki is probably a lesbian, and Misaki might be interpreted as written to be panromantic heterosexual, but its crumbs darling just crumbs of hints. 

Also Yuuki's sister is a yuri mangaka.... ahem.

cw: suicide mentioned, suicide ideation, suicide scare, cheating

mlm and trans(?)

cw: omg where do I begin. non-con, pedophilia, homophobia, groping, rape

mlm wlw(?)

"i want to go to the beach" ahem you have been warned.

cw: military service (mentioned, not shown), death of a family member, suicidal thoughts (mentioned not shown), near death experience (drowning), bullying by a "friend," alcohol use, workplace harassment, infidelity (mentioned, not shown)

wlw?

in the sex club they've got some mlm and wlw action going on in the first episode, but we don't know these characters, they're just there to sexualize the scene. There's also a f/f sexual assault scene. The primary antagonist seems to be a bisexual woman as well as another antagonist? maybe? idk its hard to tell because they're mainly power plays (i.e. sexual assault, rape) and so it's not clear if there is attraction there.

im... ngl its hard to take this seriously....

cw: (A LOT OF) sexual assault, minor-adult sexual assault, entrapment, abduction, pimping, transactional sex (if you do have sex with me, you can get x), hostage, spiked drink, attempted rape, infidelity, attempted to force people to have sex on camera

mlm

cw: none? (dropped)

mlm

cw: none so far (i dropped this)

mlm

cw: inequal power dynamics (related to home and work arrangements), homelessness, dangerous allergic reaction

This anthology is a mix of relationship types. 

Episode 2: 

• MMM polyamorous 
• cw: infidelity, manipulation, coerced consent (aka unconsensual)

mlm

cw: rape, sexual assault, minor/adult, self harm, car accident (not shown), illicit drug use (not shown)

many gay characters, one of which is a protagonist

cw: death, crack, gun violence, police misconduct, homophobia, disapproving parent

I dropped this so I can't comment much on it (I'm just in a dropping mood, not the fault of the show)

In the first episode, one of the three protagonists is known to be gay and has an off-screen boyfriend, his father is revealed to have been in a lavender marriage (likely), and the dead protagonist is likely bisexual. But I dropped this in the first episode, so again can't say much.

This was like every single old school trope possible punched into one movie. So ridiculous. Oh, except one of the leads is bisexual. mlm

cw: non-consensual touch, stalking, assault, infidelity (off-screen)

mlm, wlw, gender inclusive language sort of

so they call transgender as like gender identity disorder. but also there's a line in episode 7 that's translated to say, men, women and people or something like that which felt inclusive to non-binary and otherwise gender nonconforming individuals. There's a strong activist element with LGBT+ issues at the forefront of it. There are also several wlw and mlm characters, some are supporting and some minor characters. 

cw: outing (referenced), coming out, family rejection after coming out, bullying

mlm

i will say even though this technically belongs in macro, this is really short. like i think the total run time is around an hour and a half? so if you're looking for something short this work. 

this is cute and perfect for warmth and summer. not super original but well done

cw: death (recalled but not shown)

mlm

Some older men who are already in a long-term relationship.

mlm

two trans women protagonists

cw: suicidal ideation, coming out, family homophobia, religious homophobia

mlm (two couples)

listen listen this is on the macro list but you could easily binge this in one sitting. really cute. acting is actually decent. i enjoyed this.

mlm one bi(?????????)

i dropped but cw: suicide, closeted, coming out

mlm

cw: low self esteem

mlm wlw

finally watched this

cw: covid

mlm

one of the supporting characters is coming to terms with his sexuality. starts off with an obliviously in love with my best friend trope. 

cw: disapproving parent (about lifestyle choices, not about being gay), death of a loved one

wlw

ok first of all so many wlw characters in this. We got a lesbian bar with the regulars who are Hiroko's bar buddies. Then there's Ayaka who seems to be some sort of gray ace but for whatever reason Hiroko really switches her attraction button on. And then there's Ayaka's friend who identifies as a lesbian. 

mlm

one dense man versus a grumpy puppy

wlw (one is implied bi)

there are six main protagonists and one of them had a crush on a woman who ended up leaving the group (the love interest was not a protagonist). That protagonist then falls for one of the other protagonists. 

cw: adult(?)/minor relationship, gore (zombie)

mlm

cw: abandoned, suicide, attempted murder, murder (off screen), rape, abuse, stalking, trapped in sex industry, hallucinations, filming of rape, abduction, paedophilia , substance abuse (hard drugs), cigarette smoking, gambling

wlw

cw: paedophilia (off-screen), abortion, infidelity, smoking

mlm

this is like... how to explain....... early 2000s BL

cw: sexual assault, physical assault, incest, terminal(?) illness (honestly I got kind of lost on what the issue with the brother was), death

mlm

ahhh it's been a while since I've watched something gay that wasn't BL or GL. This was nice and well produced. The acting is pretty good too. 

cw: outing, slut shaming, police incident, sexual assault, obsessive ex
