Famous Japanese actor Ryusei Yokohama made controversial remarks about BL and said he doesn’t understand the meaning of diversity.

“This is just my personal opinion. I’m not interested in BL or that kind of thing. I don’t understand any of it, so for me, no. As for this whole diversity issue, I simply don’t understand its meaning. That’s all. Of course, BL and this kind of content exist because there’s demand for it, but all I meant was that I don’t understand what the purpose of it is.”

He’s the lead actor of the Japanese adaptation of the Korean drama ‘Nevertheless’

1. I don’t understand why his comment is controversial

2. He’s allowed to think this way. What’s the issue here?

3. I think the sameㅋㅋ What’s the issue?

3. “I don’t understand the meaning” -> I don’t understand why they are doing this. There’s a nuance to it

4. He’s a top actor??? His visuals are supporting roles-worthy at best

5. That’s just his own opinion. Why is he getting hate for it?

6. Why would an actor say this?

7. What’s the big deal?

He’s not telling you not to do it, he’s just saying he doesn’t know.

Why can’t you understand others when you want them to understand you?

8. It’s my first time seeing this actor but he’s allowed to think this way. I also think “So what?” when diversity is getting forced into me

9. People who speak so lightly about things… as expected from the science of short guys…

10. It’s true that he’s allowed to think this way but saying it openly in an interview is a turn off
