Build Jakapan, Daemi's Poi, and other individuals stepping forward

I like my peace, but this situation is very serious and deserves to be documented clearly for the international/English-speaking fanbase, which was my original goal of archivism on Tumblr. Some of the posts have already been deleted and others will be washed away with the sands of Twitter time.

Please do not talk about this in terms of "drama" or "tea" because that does a disservice to the victims and people here on Tumblr who may have lived through these experiences watching you treat their trauma like nonsense.

I have no stake in this and do not claim to know the full truth. However, rather than seeing everyone vague about what's happening, I want to provide an account of what people on Twitter are seeing above the noise. I will try to keep this post updated with important developments when appropriate.

My only ask is please don't comment to my inbox about this post. I understand your anger and hurt, but I need to take care of my own well-being. Make a dummy account if you want to talk about it; I will not censor the comments section of post as long as you are reasonable and not victim-blaming.

Finally, please be kind to each other, including Pond (as long as he is doing the right thing) and the other actors in BOC given that Poi specifically said she hid this from the cast, and also especially fans who loved Build and were blindsided. There is no "deserved" to be upset, people who invest their love and free time into something are allowed to be hurt... the only thing that matters about a person's integrity is how they choose to act with this information.

obsessed with porsche's corruption arc because despite working for the mafia it wasn't the crime that corrupted him. it was the gay sex.

for @kinnporscheweek day 2 favorite episode - episode 6

I'm so proud 🌈 of Apo for how brave he's always been.

In case you missed it since Apo never specifically said it in an interview, Tong spoke about having this conversation with Apo about how Apo viewed Porsche's character (I'm guessing Tong here means Porsche's gender preference... this is the official BOC subtitled version too, sigh.)

This is a companion to the Proud🌈 of Mile piece I wrote a while back. I've been wanting write one for Apo but it's very hard because it's obviously very hard for him to talk about too. Sometimes I when I get notes on the Mile one, I still feel shy about it (even though I don't think Mile is shy!) But someone needs to loudly celebrate both of their bravery! Especially Apo's!!

It takes a lot of courage to walk away from a career you love because you realize you're being not treated the way you're supposed to be. Especially when it's an art you love and you've gotten to a place that most people dream of. Let's not forget, Apo was quite famous as an actor in Thailand already before KinnPorsche. Not only is he a great actor, but he was building a reputation for himself and he chose to walk away from all of that, potentially permanently.

The kind of policing that Apo received of a young person's self-expression while working on the sets of Channel 3 has really detrimental effects on the psyche. I won't say too much about it because Apo is human and he's allowed off days and deserves the grace, but you can see glimpses of how being at an industry event full of industry people, some of whom may or may not have said shit to him in the past, inadvertently hit him at the Vogue Gala. Of course Apo had fun still and it was an amazing experience he got to share with Mile! But if that's how he felt like he had to police his own body language every day on set, I can see why he quit.

New York was so good for Apo because it allowed him to see that the problem was with the people around him, not with himself. When I was in my early 20s, I remember seeing a billboard in New York that said something along the lines of: "Here we judge you more for the shoes you wear than who you love." And ain't that the type of freedom Apo needed.

But when he got back from New York, he committed himself to making queer art.

How brave does he have to be in the first place to walk away from a career he loved because of the homophobic comments he got and knowing it wasn't right (and a reminder, he wasn't working on any BLs before KPTS), and then how much braver still to come back and say: you can't hurt me with what I own about myself. And, I want to make art that expresses it.

Make no mistake, I'm not commenting on Apo's sexuality here. He's asked us not to. But being queer, queerness isn't just about gender or sexuality. It's about identity, the struggles you go through; it's a political stance. Many queer musicians who've never been publicly linked to a same-sex partner have made art specifically to explore their queerness and grapple with violence they still are at the brunt of as a result of being part of society.

And Apo has let us know multiple times what his political stance is, the kinship he feels with expressed queerness. It's the way he came back home and owned the queer art he is a part of. It's the way he continuously expresses the humanity in the stories he's telling, and talks about in interviews how he sees that honesty in the story resonates with the audience.

Apo is a role model in not only how we should treat those around us, but a reminder that being kind to everyone includes being kind to yourself. Especially when society tries to tear you down.

#fixing beloveds hair is a love language

One of the things I feel like KinnPorsche the Series does so well that not enough people talk about is giving its queer viewers a story that's shelter from societal homophobia.

I want to emphasize that this is not the same as telling a story in which people live in an idealized world where homophobia doesn't exist.

I've seen a few people mention that characters or couples dealing with homophobia is often not a part of Thai BL. I really appreciate that as a queer person who consumes media.

But KinnPorsche does something slightly different.

It's not that homophobia doesn't exist in the world of KinnPorsche. We know it does, with the snide remark about gelato Don made to Kinn in episode 1, in the way that Porsche-sans-gaydar told off Big for being close minded with Kinn beaming out of sight, in the way Porsche was bashful about revealing to his work/adopted mother his self-realization of bisexuality through falling in love with Kinn and Yok specifically affirming that love is love, with the way Porsche felt a moment of self consciousness holding his boyfriend's hand in public on the date he planned.

We know homophobia exists in the periphery of the world Kinn and Porsche and all these characters live in. But what the narrative chose to tell us instead is: we are not going to let that affect the way we show how these people fall in love and love each other.

It's not an idealized version of the world where homophobia doesn't exist; sadly I don't think we'll get there in my lifetime. But I'm also sick of stories like that. That has the same teeth as "it's not a gay love story, it's a love story about two people."

Well fuck that. These characters are queer and I'm here because I'm queer, and I want a queer love story. And sometimes that means the shadow of societal homophobia looming in the background.

What's beautiful about KinnPorsche is that it says in response to that: these characters are queer characters. They don't "just happen" to love someone of the same gender.

But in this story, you get to see them love without the shadow of what haunts queer people in real life. You don't have to be worried, we'll protect you from that. And that is something I haven't gotten from another queer media before.

So when queer people say they feel loved back by the KPTS production, I think that's often what they mean without quite being able to put their finger on it. It's acknowledging the weight of our reality without forcing us to once again bear it alongside the characters. And how much more loving can a story be than that?
