I promise I'm not being facetious: I genuinely don't understand the overwhelming hate for the bromance pairs, so could someone explain it to me like I'm five?
Like, as I understand it, Sky and Nani (and presumably Dew and Tee) don't want to star in BL series or market themselves as imaginary couples. They seemingly don't want to do the company-prescribed loveydovey song and dance the BL actors do, so GMMTV made them their own category with a stupid name.
I mean, is it the "bromance" descriptor people take issue with? Because, yeah, "bromance" is a ridiculous word and it does sound stupid to a lot of people (including me!), but I wouldn't consider that, like. Grounds for accusing SkyNani and DewTee themselves of queerbaiting? (becauseyoucan'tqueerbaitrealpeople)
I strongly suspect that the downfall of OhmNanon and the subsequent rabid tornado carrying around their memory served as something of a cautionary tale to everyone in that company if not the industry. Nanon also said he didn't want to do BL, and he was overridden, so I'd say it's a very good thing Sky and/or Nani put his foot down and kept it down.
Especially with GMMTV increasingly treating their BL and GL actors like circus animals, good for them for having and keeping boundaries?
…Are people just angry at life and this is how they've collectively decided to channel it?

I feel like younger fans of bl/gl type content don't truly understand the term 'bromance' and how long it's been around.
The last two days on tiktok, I've have seen a number of creators going off about gmmtv and their upcoming shows that are being promoted as bromances. Calling it queerbating and even bashing the actors (mostly) Sky and Nani for acting in them.
After watching one peticular rant where a creator was telling her followers that bromances were based off queer content and that the characters were supposed to be queer but don't end up together and how thai companies shouldn't be making bromances because they don't have censorship and bromances themselves shouldn't be made because its a tool used to (can't remember the exact wording but basically) make money off queer content without actualy making queer content.
I realized people have a huge misunderstanding of where this term comes from, because yes in recent years with popular shows from China like The Untamed and Word Of Honor the term has been used to label them 'bromance' because the characters have deep tension rising chemistry but cant be together because censorship and are based off gay material.
However, bromance had been around way longer than this recent usage of the term. It has always meant a non sexual close/deep friendship between two men just because it has been altered recently to cover more material doesn't negat its original meaning.
You can find tv shows and movies going back decades that fall under the category bromance Star Trek with Kirk and Spock being one of longest lasting ones. More recent ones are Steve and Bucky in Civil War or Steve and Danny in Hawaii five-o. Then, of course, kdramas are huge on bromances Weak hero class, bloodhounds, highschool return of a gangster (though I believe this is based of a bl novel), strangers from hell (Japanese remake hell is other people) even tale of thr nine tailed falls under bromance and it's because of the two brothers complicated but deep relationship.
Bromance has a pretty wide range of shows/movies that fall under its umbrella.
You get some that the two main characters have just great fun chemistry and are fun to watch like Bad Boys, Pysch, or Goblin.
To ones that run a little deeper and make you wonder what if like Weka Hero class, bloodhounds, suits.
To the ones that tease the audience and make it hard to imagine the leads with any of the women that show up like Hawaii five-o ( seriously, Danny calling Steve babe? Their lack of boundries? Their bickering?? Haha), high school frenemy, high school return of gangster and mysterious lotus casebook (though that's more of a throuple thing to me, haha).
And of course, ones like spirealm, the untamed, word of honor which read as lovers but can't show it.
I know this is a strange thing to point out, but seriously, after seeing so much negativity towards gmmtv and Sky and Nani and Dew and Tee, I felt it was necessary to correct people's understanding of bromance.
And also point out that just because fans want an actor or two to star in BL doesn't mean they have to. And if bromances are as close to bl as they feel comfortable being in, then let them. Acting is their job, and we get some pretty amazing shows from them trying to pressure them into things they don't want to is just gross and toxic. So please people stop being so fucked up to these people.
okay guys so with running man thailand on the brain i've decided to compile a list of who i think should participate in the next season(s) of running man (basically my adhd meds kicked in while i was thinking about running man and i never looked back).
this is like so super long and ridiculous (also probably repetitive bc my brain chose to fixate on like 20 words and that's it). fair warning, idk all of these actors super well so pls have mercy on my interpretations.
(ALSO. pardon my picture editing skills for the collages. i tried my best.)
(ALSO ALSO. i did not proofread this shit bc i'm way too lazy for that so read at ur own risk ig)
tay & besties (read: enemies)
tay - i don't care that this man has already been in running man--he needs to participate again and again and again (he is the IDEAL candidate)
off - peak ragebaiter for tay, he would 100% bite tay back
new - i just wanna see his reactions to tay either failing or being an absolute menace to society. also i'm fairly confident newwie would be surprisingly good at running man games
junior - another ragebaiter for tay but also book's mortal enemy--those two would be squabbling the entire time
book - tay ragebaiter and junior's number one opp it would be hilarious can you see my vision
neo - this man has so much chaotic energy i just feel like he would make the showdown between tay and his main opps even more entertaining
mark - i fr just want to see this man sit back and watch as the chaos unfolds (i also feel like he'd be unfairly good at the games)
gun - i NEED to know if he would weaponize his connections (beloved of tay, new, off (and realistically pretty much everyone else))
taynew & fam:
tay (father) - again, tay needs to be in more of these variety shows fr. against his friends he'd be a menace but against his family? probably also a menace considering he's threatened to turn polcasan into a fur coat
new (father) - once again, i NEED to see the classic newwie eye roll when tay fails at something/is being a general menace. also i think newwie might have favourite children and i need to know who they are
nanon (oldest son) - would bite tay back (we have video proof nanon you can't run). also i enjoy seeing this man suffer (i mean this in the best possible way) at the hands of our beloved idiot tay
sky (middle son) - i fear his chaos would rival tay's. he would be all about sabotage, betrayal--no exceptions even for his family (obviously if nani were here, nani would be his ONLY exception)
nani (son-in-law) - mayyyyybe. bc he would indeed be sky's biggest weakness but also would probably win by sheer ability to distract the competition from his real skills
gemini (middle-ish son) - this man is chaotic in a silent but deadly way. he definitely has tay's chaos but there's something calmer there that's distinctly newwie. i also feel like he might be a favourite in the eyes of one or both of his fathers
fourth (son-in-law) - honestly, i added fourth because he is a little gremlin of a man and would, without a doubt, sabotage, backstab, and betray EVERYONE
polcasan (youngest son) - i think polcasan just has to be here. maybe he can be a bargaining tool like all the family members have to compete to get san on their side in some kinda game or something (obv newwie has a distinct advantage and sky has a distinct disadvantage (his fault for calling san "the fake child"))
the bl trinity:
tay - 10/10 chaos gremlin
new - done with tay's chaos/clumsiness but would absolutely crush the competition
off - tay's main ragebaiter. this man would be shouting faster than the PD could call "action"
gun - i desperately need to see this man in a competition against tay, new, and off--will their love for him win out in the end??
krist - this guy gives me such unc/old man vibes (i KNOW he's not THAT old but c'mon he's been in the industry for so long). i need to see this man struggling and regretting ever coming onto a variety show. also i feel like he is excellent at ragebaiting/getting ragebaited by tay and off
singto - tbh i think singto would actually demolish the competition, maybe except for krist (let's be real, the man has a soft spot for kit)
the gmmtv youngins:
william - chaos gremlin extraordinaire he would be absolutely ruthless. also if there were to be any food challenges, you best bet this man will have strange facial expressions out the wazoo
lego - adored nong or gremlin no. 4??? it remains to be seen. also we know lego is super easily ragebaited and has the violent reflexes of a professional martial artist
joong - i can see this man just straight up forging alliances left right and center and then betraying everyone as soon as he gets the chance. just picture the signature joong smile when he's bullshitting about something and you'll get what i mean
aou - voted jasper's naughtiest and honestly he's loud as hell so i wouldn't put beefing with his fellow competitors past him. he also feels strangely competitive
nani - first of all, nani is my world. so that's enough reason. BUT. ALSO. i want to see how nani--soft-spoken, "innocent" nani--would fare against such ruthless competition. a few cute words and i fear he might distract the competition from his true competitive power
fourth - once again, one of our resident gremlins. also would be the source of relentless teasing (especially teasing nani about sky, but also the rest of the guys in a pair)
pond - khun thee. that's all i have to say. the man would make this as dramatic as possible.
the laughers (shit title but idk what else to call them):
gemini - adorable and dorky just like him
fort - he was a witch or somebody's evil step-mother in a past life
mix - lwk like a buffering movie sometimes
dunk - his laugh sounds like bubbles? if yk what i mean. also hilarious when it cuts out but you can still hear his tiny gasps
tay - a laugh as chaotic as himself.
force - witch no. 2 bc genuinely what an insane amount of cackling sir
istg i know there's more i just can't think of them right now
general thailand running man:
firstone - chaos gremlin (no. 5 is it now??). also speaks his own language (not thai, not english, somehow between the two but also neither), dances like he's possessed, and would probably be competitive as hell
godji - i love her. i need her to be in every season just so she can tease the bl pairings.
teetee - he's so funny in duang with you i just feel like he'd be either everyone's worst enemy or everyone's beloved (yet suspicious) nong
nui sujira (keen's character's mom in Head2Head) - i follow this lovely lady on instagram and she is so fucking hilarious. i need to see her beef with a bunch of 20 year olds immediately
poon - like firstone, he speaks his own language. would def see alien-to-alien communication here. he also strikes me as a deceptively innocent kind of guy who would have no mercy on his phis or nongs
java - 10/10 ragebaiter, especially when it comes to keen
keen - if java's there, keen would bicker so hard with him. expect lots of "JAVAAA!?!?" and more scandalous pearl-clutching
max - OLD MAN. *cough, cough* who said that? it wasn't me. anyway, i fear he would be so competitive he'd forget he's much older than half the competition (yes ik he's not THAT old)
nat - bro would have a plan within a plan (and yes, that would include trying to use max to his advantage). he has way too much charisma for such a tiny person (i mean this affectionately)
mix - he is so easily ragebaited (esp if it's about his age). i need to see him get sassy and angry at the competition
jimmy (gmm) - he seems way too calm and smart. he would probably win. unless the shenanigans got to him first
keng - this man has a funny side. i need to see the khemjira shaman absolutely lose it over a glorified game of tag
sammy - she is so FUNNY. also i feel like she knows everyone. please let her be on the next running man thailand
net - i mean this in the best way possible but i want to see this man suffer. like he would lowkey probably be good at the games and also probably hella competitive, it's just, if paired with the right people (ex. firstone, nat, etc.) he would be sabotaged from all sides
force - definitely competitive and also ridiculous af. he would attempt to crush the competition and be taken out by his overeager nongs
ohm thitiwat - he strikes me as an old man (YES I KNOW HE'S ONLY A '97). i also want to know whether he'd be calm or an absolute doofus like he's been with poon. only time will tell
pung - I NEED TO SEE THIS MAN'S PUPPY DOG EYES WHEN HE IS INEVITABLY BETRAYED. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ISTG
prem - this man has something up his sleeve. idk. he'd definitely be one of the better backstabbers/strategists
first - the amount of gmm men this man has kissed. idk. i think i need a reunion in the form of feral variety show
poppy - take dmd's funniest guy (unc vibes fr) and drop him into a competition with half the industry--he will not only be funny, he will also probably fail fantastically (i mean this in the nicest way. listen, i have faith in you poppy. it's just i also don't)
nut (supanut) - absolute DIVA i love him to death. other than that i feel like he has survival skills that would beat even the most seasoned variety show competitor and he WOULD make winning look fabulous
drake - he strikes me as one of those original gmm guys who knows a ton of people--he'd definitely have several files on potential weaknesses of his opponents (is this canon? probably not but these are the VIBES he gives me
pooh - he's such a funny little puppy. also clumsy as hell. would definitely stumble over his own feet but would also be oddly good at running man games
offroad - with or without daou, he would also be competitive as hell (that's why they're perfect for each other <3). would definitely have loud beef with half the industry
dew - this men is so fucking competitive istg even against tee (still i think he'd let tee maybe win. maybe).
tee - i need to see him and dew tgt. i just wanna test something
aj & jj - def could use being twins to their advantage. also i feel like they bring shenanigans everywhere they go
est - our wonderful introverted social butterfly (that one goes to my bl friend shoutout gloria). has a definite competitive edge and is also likely very good at variety show type games. he also knows more than half the industry
perth - probably competitive also gives old man/unc vibes. just please do NOT put him in a dance competition
satang - he's a funny little guy. would definitely ragebait his phis
ohm thipakorn - he gives such mischievous vibes istg this man would be betraying people all the time and yet they would continue to trust him bc that's his charm
nut (lykn) - definite ragebaiter. against lego there would def be hella entertainment. mischievous little man i fear
maxky - idk how this man ever became a serious character in any series he is the literal thai embodiment of jin from bts (doesn't help that that's his number one kpop idol lmao). i have seen approximately 1 minute of his vlogs and can confirm he has the chaos we need for running man
santa - he would do it for shits and giggles. would 100% weaponize his cuteness against his phis (esp if perth were there)
fort - i need to hear this man's laugh. all the time. he also gives feral energy
earth (pirapat) - old man vibes (IM SORRY). his nongs would absolutely tease him to death. but don't worry, he would enjoy playing running man games
namtan - idk i think she has (affectionate) beef with several gmm brothers
view - she looks mischievous
jan - idk. she's from peaceful property and i love peaceful property and her character in it so she deserves a spot
perth (the australian one) - love this bitch. shenanigans on his youtube channel are excellent. also +10 points for his AMAZING australian accent let's give him a round of applause please and thank you
copter - I FUCKING LOVE COPTER. THEY ARE GENUINELY THE BESTEST ACTOR EVER OMG OMG OMG. i might also be slightly biased as a genderqueer person myself but hey, copter is genuinely such an adorable, talented, amazing person. they should get whatever they want in life and if running man is one of those things, get on it producers
okay my brain goblins have been satisfied, peace out <3
