However, instead of dismissing the story altogether for being a hoax, especially given the story’s already irreversible circulation in widespread culture today, this paper rather examines the “mythification” of Sidapa-Bulan queer intimacy as a case for historical rethinking. Drawing from a bricolage of digital, ethnohistorical, and historiographical materials, this manuscript is divided into four sections.
