Abejo, from Zamboanga del Norte, is a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and wanted to try dubbing the opening scene in gay lingo.
“I have been such a fan of the Avatar Series that I watched it again and again with my nephew during our days in quarantine. Something came up on my mind that what if I dub in beki language! “That would be fun”, I said to myself,” said Abejo.
Before deciding to dub it with the gay lingo, he thought of doing a Thai accent dubbing and even wanted to try doing it in Korean, but he though doing it in gay lingo would be more fun.
And to no surprise, it was surely a hit to the netizens.
