barely lol
Let’s just say, almost no one older than my parents knows English.
I’m predicting, that by 2030, most people megaphoning “China bad on LGBT” are going to be very embarrassed, both because of progress abroad and regression at home.
I guess I’m going to summarize what I’ve read in this thread than add an opinion on the general rhetoric.
China does have some shit laws on the subject, but (perhaps mostly both the government and the average person) lacks a fascist-driven ideological framework that is very common in the US. You will assume everything is worse than Southern US States or Nazi Germany for no other reason than that reactionaries love making it sound that way, because there is almost no one on the English speaking internet loud enough to debunk them over their digital megaphones. Well meaning parrots will parrot the only thing they hear on the subject. Other comments on this thread go over how it is not as bad as the Southern US States.
I think that future historians will note that some technology or element of an (post?-)industrial society, made faster by a socialized internet, leads most not-yet-LGBT-friendly societies into adoption of LGBT rights. The current rhetoric around the subject forgets that the US has had decades of modernization progress ahead of China on various subjects. China is caught up on manufacturing in general, China will most likely catch up on several specific technologies (CPUs) soon enough. There is no reason to believe that China will not catch up on LGBT rights in the same manor, in very short order.
The 2022 Cuban Family Code referendum sets a favorable precedent that LGBT rights under AES is likely next on the natural cultural progressions of civilizations.
China does pay attention to US politics and will notice things, such as anti-LGBT rhetoric being primarily rooted as a religious/fascist construct in modern US politics. I think they are much more likely to perceive it this way going forward than what others may have historically presumed, which was something like “LGBT rights is Capitalist decadence/influence”.
just thought it was a cool shirt and bought it
checkout richie rich over here, has seen a VHS rewinder in real life
most of those videos are just reading some tutorial blog that Google is actively hiding from you
pay women to step on them in public
it’s weird af and should be banned but also you should be thankful you don’t know what other fucking weird shit they ask.
also everybody trying to sell me shit, I mean like the dumbest ponzi schemes or makeup from the sleaziest influencers who were selling NFTs or whatever skin-burning chemicals last month.
Instagram. I was maybe the last person to get a smart phone. It was probably 2016. I’m just fully lazy to take photos of stuff.
I fucking hate instagram. Having a private personal instagram for friends/tinders I don’t give a shit about and getting my horny spam link in bio instagram banned every 6 months probably because some asshole with bots wants me to pay them for “marketing services” (which actually means becoming one of their bot accounts or it means ripping my paid content for free) or some asshole was hanging out, fuck that place.
I hate this song
his entire plan from the start was to be a supernatural cop
society still hasn’t recovered from the awakening of Francis of the Filth.
oh somebody finally debunked nazistalKKKia critic? im gonna have to watch that
I wouldn’t. Why? No trans rights. Familial approval for medication is a killer for trans people, in practice it might as well be a ban outside of two neighbourhoods in San Francisco.
I know almost nothing about LGBT stuff in China, and am kind of generally ignorant about most LGBT experiences in the US, so I definitely agree with your skepticism of China on the prospect of living there, but at the same time, I don’t feel confident that either of us have reliable information on where China is in terms of cultural progression to adopting LGBT rights. You might be standing on shaky ground regarding the US’s apparent progress and recent advancements, which appears at high risk of reactionary regression. I’d say staying in the US is perhaps not as safe as one may assume, but also, moving to a northern state is much easier than moving to China, so the mean time, I’ll give you that, proving China is better on LGBT stuff will likely be a tall order. The burden of proof is probably going to be on us, and it will be a heavy burden.
On the other hand Cuba recently did a 2022 Cuban Family Code referendum (wikipedia).
Not to mention the clamping down on DIY, which unlike the west, the Chinese government has real power to actually enforce to some extent.
I have no idea what this is referring to, but I feel like this is also happening in the US, but it’s enforced via corporations using profit motives. The usual barrier to DIY projects in the US is that John Deere/Apple doesn’t want you to, or Radio Shack closed and you have to buy your parts online, some parts too complicated/miniaturized to build on US soil.
they’re back and they released an episode explaining it
Putting the “Actually Existing” in front of socialism.
Looking forward to The Washington Trials setting world records for number of executed fascists and colloquially replacing the The Nuremberg Trials.
