    Twitter is in a state of civil war right now. Establishment shills are desperately trying to keep up the “China Bad” narrative in light of all the people checking out redbook or whatever.

      Yeah, I mean XHS is China’s instagram; its targetted demographics are socially-accepted teens so ranting about culture wars, or advertising gambling is verbotten there.

      I wish I could go places crackers were banned… I do my best to be a non-practicing cracker.

      A corollary to this: will tiktok be better without Americans on it?

    This is hilarious because Jackson Hinkle was tweeting like China was some anti-LGBTQ paradise

      PatSocs like him were cancelling Cuba for “falling to liberalism” because of their progressive family law, while upholding China as some sort of socially conservative ideal for communists to follow. When in reality, China has better things to do like raising everyone’s living standards instead of chud culture war shit.

        I think China’s indifference to LGBT+ issues gets misconstrued in the West, because indifference here means people get hurt. China literally has Trans healthcare. Yeah, they don’t have same sex marriage but that doesn’t seem to be a big issue, at least it’s not something they’re thinking about solving right now. I do not know what their laws on discrimination are, if there is any, but regardless the idea that China is a conservative paradise is very weird. Just because they’re friends with Russia doesn’t mean they feel the same way about LGBT+ people. It’s like you said, they are not interested in the culture war, and rightly so. It’s just a distraction from class war.

          I do not know what their laws on discrimination are

          I’m not familiar with specifics of PRC law but I remember even The Economist reporting that a trans woman won a discrimination law suit in China back in 2020.

            I do remember that case! Not the specifics of course, but its existence. This just dismantles Hinkle’s (and MAGAcoms) whole schtick.

    I don’t keep up with him, because why would I, but did Hinkle get banned from some Chinese platforms or something?

  • Apparently China is doing LGBTQ+ rights in a different way by silently integrating it into society as opposed to grandiose gestures. I’m not necessarily sure if that is the best way but it is in line with the PRC’s ideals of “harmony”.

    The propaganda of the Hong Kong colored revolution did provide supportive evidence for this with their only evidence that Chinese Communist government censor Winnie Pooh image are when it is used to mock Xi for having stereotypical typical Chinese appearance.

    Just a few examples of trans Bilibili users/channels

    One of them recently went to Thailand for their surgery, only because the bookings within the country were so packed. They also make various videos answering questions on what happens after (post surgery recovery, getting a new ID etc.)

    If Hinkle and his ilk knew about any of this shit his head would explode lmao
