Cuz German Gay Soap Operas R Srz Bsnz
Just when I think I've seen just about everything wanked there comes Gay German Soap Opera wank. Credit for writing the report goes to the Anonymouse over at [info]wank_report. All I did was fix the html as there really was nothing to add.

Once upon a time in fall 2007 there was a German soap opera named AWZ (Alles Was Zählt) with hot gay kissing. So the blog romanunddeniz.blogspot.com was created to post youtube clips and spoilers for people to squee about.

All was well.

Except then hot boy 1 starts declaring his love for some chick and dicking around behind boy 2's back. The fans are stunned. Denial. Anger. Depression.

Just as hot boy 1 is stepping out on hot boy 2, a second German soap named VL (Verbotene Liebe) pops up and also features hot boy kissing. People bring up those two guys from As The World Turns and Hollyoakes. People are curious how gay storylines are being handled all over the world. And so romanunddeniz.blogspot.com turns into gaydaytime.blogspot.com where clips from gay storylines in daytime and primetime are posted and everybody lives together peacefully, right?

WRONG.

The VL storyline gets linked in a couple of places, it has subtitles and some people are really feeling it. The fans of AWZ feel neglected. They complain that blog owner Wolfi doesn't appreciate the subtle humor and superior writing of AWZ when he complains that a soap doing a storyline on a killer virus is stupid. And why or why don't people acknownledge that AWZ is clearly the vastly superior German soap opera featuring two guys swapping spit? (notice user chrisms and gabi, they are gonna show up again)

So Wolfi makes a main post defending his decision and his right to think killer virus storylines are stupid. He expresses his anguish over the good old AWZ days when they were all so happy together and his sadness that when his blog featured a poll asking people that if they could cancel a soap from the gay daytime lineup people picked AWZ rather than As The World Turns as he expected.

The AWZ fans go quiet for a while.

Except then suddenly things start looking up for AWZ. The female love interests disappears. Hot boy 1 starts taking cocaine and dryhumping hot boy 2. Some people are feeling it, some don't. chrisms complains that people don't see that the VL storyline is badbadbadwrong.

The next AWZ clip gets posted and chrisms complains that not everybody thinks that having sex with your ex-boyfriend while he is on drugs is stuff we all would do when we are in love. Some people call boy 2 a whiner. chrisms and anonymous accuse each other of having wrong expectations of the soap genre.

The next clip gets posted and chrisms tells people how they really feel about VL storyline, about people not appreciating the sublime beauty of the AWZ story and how they gleefully wait for the day when VL goes down in smokes.

Anonymous (that makes the wank suck a bit, most VL fans tend to use anonymous, in the squee posts too) steps in and says that "asshole fans" like chrisms are keeping them from having sympathy for the story.

Chrisms friend Gabi steps in and calls anonymous on being an anonymous and calling chrism an asshole. Anonymous comes back and defends their decision to call chrisms an asshole and proceed to praise apparently without irony how much less petty they are than the AWZ fans. People award points to gabi. Other anonymous steps in and indicates that chrisms a hypocrite for complaining about the level of discussion the blog is compared against their statements about the level of intelligence of the VL fans.

Yea, after the past few fail!wanks I figured we needed something that actually could be laughed at, even if it was on the small and unknown side of things.

Wank about series made in my country.

I don't know if I should be horribly embarassed or not.

Well, I don't see many Americans or British being too embarrassed about wank based on a series made in either country, so I dunno... maybe think of this as a rite of passage?

I firmly believe you should have the 'Wank Reporting: This Is How You Do It' award, stat.

Aw, thanks. But most of the credit should go to the dear Anonymouse that wrote up the report over at [info]wank_report. I was just the one with a JF account and copy & paste skills.

German gay soap operas.

Um. What? AWESOME.

(Also, I love that they have, like, Coldplay playing in the background half the time, it roughly triples the measure of adorable.)

Clearly, I need to start watching German soap operas.

Or I missed the all gay subplots on The Young and the Restless.

Verbotene Liebe wank. My cheesy gay German soap opera(that I certainly won't admit to watching) actually has people wanking about it @_@

Well, at least it's funny wank!

Oh, there was tons of wank about Verbotene Liebe in all sorts of ways. It's just in german, so many people don't see much of it.

I'm actually surprised by how much of this wank is in English. Does this show actually air anywhere abroad or do people rely on video sharing or DVDs?

vastly superior German soap opera

That was where I spit my drink all over myself. There are no superior German soap operas, they are all crap. But VL has the better gay couple BY FAR. *waves flag*

*goes back to laughing like a hyaena*
