I look forward to the day when gay panic becomes less hilarious in mainstream asian comics.

10 gils that the prince is indeed a waifu princess

@Delu will take a while. most of asia is still anti-gay. we have too many conservatives. even if we don't count in the middle east, where it's literal hell for gay people. IMO at this point the middle east should be its own continent instead of being included in asia.

@Wolvenworks probably =( But there are some signs of slow change! And comics tend to be made by younger people, and younger people tend to be more accepting? And well, look at the US where within 10-15 years homosexuality went from being pretty taboo to being pretty accepted. Sometimes change happens faster than you'd think~

(Less optimistic about the middle east, however, yes. But I also don't read middle eastern comics, I think, so my selfish little desires don't depend on them changing, at least. Did you know that in Iran they encourage gay men to transition to being women, because clearly that's how you "fix" homosexuality? Almost funny, but mostly sad.)

@Deku in indonesia we just look at openly gay people awkwardly. Unless you’re in Aceh. The Sharia police would stone you for being an infidel. Those Acehnese guys are crazy.

hmm, that prince. I'm gonna assume it's a trap until proven otherwise.

@ILikeCocaColaWithMyNameOnIt see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_panic_defense
Outside of legal context, the phrase refers to someone freaking out and acting scared or angry (as Lin Dong does here) when they perceive that a same-sex person may be interested in them.

@Delu Even when translated, korean barely make any sense. But I think he was freaking out over the fact that he was strong, or possible embarrassment, since he mentioned him being attractive.
