基友 is a trending slang term that refers to gay men or relationships. 基is from the “g” from “gay”. Most recently, it has also been used to refer jokingly to close (straight) male friends, as well as video game partners.
e.g Those two always play sports and games together. A real bromance!
他们俩总是在一起打球,游戏。真是好基友!
