At first, bilibili was establish by a group of people fond of Japanese culture like ACG(animation, comic and animation), for the purpose of constructing a platform to gather people who has a common hobby. However, Fujoshi culture is a significant element of ACG culture, thus quite a number of people concerns broadcasting and communication about information of gay. Their intense interests and consisting passions to the gay culture drive them to make plenty of relevant videos that show love between the same sex, and the appealing contents and avant ideas echo in the new generation and get much more reverberation.Among these events, the love hearsay of singer Wang Leehom and pianist Li Yundi is one of the most famous one that get stronger on bilibili and raise a hot topic about homosexuality in the society.
