Fandom is still mostly on the internet, we don’t really meet except for friends who I knew before and we discovered we both liked BL. When I was living in France I would go to conventions, expos or in cafes to meet friends who liked BL as well. They were some BL published in France that I could order, but it was the internet that made it available for me. There is no BL publication in Algeria, so I read and watch those online. I can understand why we do piracy (especially as in my country we don’t have the official). Also some people can’t have those is their room because of homophobic parents. But if the comic is officially published in your country we should stop reading it illegally. Also I disapprove strongly of websites who make money by hosting scans. And as a creator myself I think that refusing to take down scans when artists ask is unacceptable.
