#ThaiGL is not only commercially viable but also culturally transformative. It is reshaping how queer women's stories are told & viewed globally🏳️‍🌈

We discussed the global popularity of #Thai Girls Love #GL series and why this matters. Thai GL celebrates joy and thriving queer relationships 🌈💖, in contrast to Hollywood's #BuryYourGays trope @kwpang.bsky.social

Good news that our #GirlsLove paper is now published online. It's the first academic journal in English that explores the recent #GL boom in Thailand, queer media from the Global South!🏳️‍🌈
It's Open Access so it's free to read ✨https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14680777.2024.2433564

Through preliminary discourse analysis of 8 series broadcast by August 2024 and media interviews of creators, Ka-Wei Pang (CUHK) and I explore how the GL media industry charts a new path in queer media, despite its commercial underpinning and references to the production & marketing practices of BL.

First post here: Our article, '#Queer Media from the Global South: The Emerging Girls Love (#GL) Industry of Southeast Asia,' has been accepted for publication in Spring 2025✨ It'll be the first academic journal article to investigate the recent boom in GL production in SE Asia🏳️‍🌈 @kwpang.bsky.social

"The very queer nature of this mom fandom transforms the supposedly inelastic kinship in the Sinophone setting and liberates these mom fans from the norms and taboos of the heteropatriarchy, so that fantasies of all sorts can be played out."— doi.org/10.2307/jj.4...
