There’s a lot to be said about availability privilege when it comes to media and content. We need to have a talk about people who live in places and countries without the privilege to access these things. The industry around distribution heavily affects all fans. This can’t be denied. Other times it’s a cultural barrier (example; anti-LGBTQ culture presiding in that society) and sometimes fans live in countries that haven’t been afforded the same opportunities. Such disadvantages affect something even like access to media content. BL fan space is always going to be challenges or problems. They will exist. But if we can include every experience and every voice, I think we could do more to shape it.
