"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

It has more to do with the chinese male beauty ideal being different than the western one. In the west chisled muscles are the ideal, in China (and east asia in general) its the androgyne twink with flawless skin.

After watching a few historical C-dramas i sort of figured that was probably the case ๐Ÿ˜‚

Most Chinese historical drama isn't deadpan Three Kingdoms, beautiful androgynous men with porcelain skin and wuxia qi are plentiful. I mean the latest example is Ne Zha 2.
