Abstract

Abstract This commentary focuses on a rising transnational queer Chinese digital culture—Girls’ Love (GL) webtoons. I consider this queer women-focused entertainment as an epitome of the queer convergence of transnational flows, women’s cultures, and digital platform technologies in today’s Asia. My discussion sheds light on its multilayered queer-transnational characteristics, as well as the controversies surrounding its transcultural mediation of queer women. Rather than simplifying it as an anti-heterocentric Chinese convergence culture in an age of globalization and digitization, I highlight GL webtoons’ role in stimulating various voices concerning women during transnational encounters of gender and sexual knowledge.
