The toxic BL fandom phenomenon reached alarming levels in early 2025, with fans repeatedly violating actors’ boundaries. From OhmNanon shippers disrespecting a funeral to forced public apologies, these incidents reveal how obsession is damaging the BL industry. As we analyze these events, one truth becomes clear, toxic BL fandom behavior has escalated from annoying to harmful.
In January, Perth Tanapon Sukumpantanasan tragically lost his father. While GMMTV colleagues attended the funeral to pay respects, some OhmNanon shippers hijacked the moment:
- Edited group photos to remove Chimon and make it appear only Ohm and Nanon attended
- Flooded condolence posts with demands for an OhmNan reunion
- Prioritized shipping fantasies over a real family’s grief
OhmNanon fans made Perth’s father funeral about their sunken ship, even edited out Sea so ON can sit together

Why It Matters: This wasn’t just tone-deaf—it was dehumanizing. When fans care more about fictional couples than an actor burying his father, the line has been obliterated.
At a March 8 fan meeting organized by Me Mind Y and Magic Cube, toxic fans:
- Blamed the actors for event mismanagement (which was the organizers’ fault)
- Demanded on-camera apologies through a translator
- Forced Fort and Pete to bow repeatedly until fans “felt sincerity”
We covered the whole incident in this article below.
The Real Issue: Companies failed to protect their artists from fan entitlement. When fans believe money buys control over idols, everyone loses.
When Domundi changed PorTeeTee to TeeTeePor for their new project:
- Fans bombarded TeeTee with hate over “top/bottom” positioning
- The actor revealed he cried to Por from stress
- Both had to publicly justify a decision that shouldn’t require explanation
The Bigger Problem: Obsession with shipping hierarchies reduces real people to fictional tropes. As Por said: “It’s still us—the order doesn’t matter.”
GMMTV’s March 15 announcement about Ohm and Leng’s split led to:
- OhmNanon fans sending Ling death threats for years
- Ling’s supporters attacking Ohm’s mental health
- Both actors’ careers damaged by boycott campaigns
We covered the whole Ohm-Leng split controversy in article below.
The Aftermath: With Leng leaving BL and Ohm’s future uncertain, toxic shippers proved they’d rather destroy careers than let actors move on.
At Chimon’s March 8 Shanghai fanmeet:
- A fan raised a “PerthChimon Forever” sign despite their public breakup
- Chim visibly uncomfortable, given his past depression from shipping pressure
- Repeat of 2024 bullying that accused him of homophobia for kissing scenes
Serious Question – WTF is wrong with Shippers? Now it’s Chimon

The Pattern: Fans treating actors as fictional characters rather than humans with boundaries.
These incidents share disturbing commonalities:
- Companies enable toxicity by not protecting artists
- Fans weaponize financial support to control actors
- Shipping culture erases individuality, prioritizing fantasies over reality
The Bottom Line: BL thrives on fan passion—but when toxic BL fandom becomes harassment, it risks destroying the very industry it claims to love.
