more adventures on rednote mostly because it’s entertaining how mad people get when i talk about it :3 /halfjoke
this was posted 12/31 btw so i don’t think “the mods haven’t gotten to it yet” is a real thing
#le is common in parallel to the anglosphere’s #wlw which i think is adorable
my number one qualm with little red book so far is there is no native translation like tiktok has. lots of google translate is necessary to get the social media to social :P
necessary disclaimer: fuck the CCP and all the real violence and repression they do. just want to give credit given where due, and so far here im just seeing a lot of assumptions with no evidence? so im gonna post what my experience is :) i welcome all to do the same
As someone who speaks the language (poorly) and has been several times and has family in China, I can concur this post feels a bit cringe.
China is not a champion of LGBT rights. It's tolerated in the cities, but if that's the thing you care about most then the west in quite a bit farther ahead on the issue in general.
You can literally say that about America right now as they’re rolling back our rights as we speak.
No, you can't yet say that about America right now. We are very concerned it's headed that way, but we're not there yet. There are actually laws in place to protect LGBTQ+ folks still.
But yes... The biggots are trying a fresh wave of cruelty, and one of their worst is about to take power.
Still, as of right now, America is lightyears ahead of China in this area.
It's really not from where I'm sitting in Australia. The main difference between the two is that the US has far less centralised laws. So you do have states where trans rights are solid, but then you have states like Florida, which is far worse than China where trans rights are just not really talked about.
I seriously would not boast that it is lightyears.
I agree but you should not equivocate “cringe” with “astroturfing.” Astroturfing is a real and malicious thing. I’m just posting stuff I have seen people be adamant cannot possibly exist.
I would never say the CCP is a champion of LGBT rights as I have repeated throughout this post but that message clearly didn’t make it all the way up everyone’s high horses.
