      Also the one who said that you must push trains in North Korea to get to the job.

    Yeonmi Park couldn’t even make up her mind if here father was dead or not. Or where the alleged mountains were she crossed on her way to Mongolia. Or how it is possible for supposedly zombiefied north koreans to push around trains while being eaten by rats and eating rats.

      Did you also know North Koreans are severely malnourished, while also being able to push their own trains to work?

      Crazy, right? But Ms. Park said so, therefore it must be true!

        I have no opinion on this, it’s just that in traditional or conservative societies most people may not know about these matters especially if they’re taboo

            This has nothing to do with whether or not gay people exist, but how society views or deals with these topics. The total absence of any law shouldn’t be taken to mean societal approval. If it’s so taboo that they won’t even talk about it, there won’t be any mention of it publicly or at home, so no laws, and some people will grow up not knowing what it is.

            You seem not to be very well aware of how this works. Part of the marginalization of sexual minorities does involve pretending they don’t exist, and you may also have heard of this place called the closet but if you don’t know what that is you can ask someone else.

            If you think all gay people are open and out in the DPRK and they get treated well by society, I would be a bit skeptical.

            Like I mentioned elsewhere, communism in North Korea isn’t California communism…

        A lot of people grow up in the world not being well informed about sex and sexuality… not necessarily unique to Korea, but it is indeed possible that there is still this type of social conservatism there. Homosexuality was usually criminalized in communist countries until just very recently, and I am not currently aware of its status in the DPRK but I’m not sure I’d automatically assume that it’s a leader in that area.

        I’m guessing, if you are from the West, you have this misconception that values associated with communism are the same as they are in your country, but over here in the East it can be different. It’s no coincidence that today one of the most outspoken anti-LGBT countries in the world is Russia, and that also relates back to the country’s Soviet past. In Russia the kinds of people who want the USSR back and love Stalin, are a type of right-wing conservative who hate gays as much as they pine for lost Soviet Russian imperial power. They’re pretty much the opposite of Americans and Europeans who love the USSR today. The DPRK itself is a hangover from the USSR days.

              我跟你说，这叫歇后语，翻译软件不知道是什么意思的，只有在中文的语境下你能理解歇后语的意思。我本来也不希望你能理解我说的话。你自己看不懂就说别人不懂得如何交流，这真的好吗？
