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
You might appreciate this.
This guy asked people on Red Note if it’s ok to be gay, and I laughed at the response:
SLSKSKSKSKSJDHD
Now ask if you can be in a gay marriage in China (nope).
Ask if it is completely legalto be fired just because you are gay (yup).
China isn’t good on LGBTQ+ rights
Neither is the US. Have you been paying any kind of attention?
We had to throw bricks, go to prison, and die in public to get what little we have in spite of the state, and the second we got the tiniest shred of equity, they’re working on oppressing us even more than before Stonewall.
You’re talking to someone who’s been explicitly terminated from a job explicitly for being gay. Legally. With no uncertain terms that was the reason.
Not to mention my queer ass will just fucking die next time I can’t afford life-saving healthcare.
I can get gay married in the USA. There currently are legal protections against discrimination in the USA. The USA is without question a better nation for LGBT+ rights than China.
You have legal recourses available to ypu in the USA if your claim is true. There are none in China.
Healthcare is not free in China either. It’s almost as if theyare really terrible at pursuing leftism.
China doesn’t have millions dying each year from lack of access to healthcare, and every single person on Xiaohongshu is learning how shockingly bad it is here in the USA, while we are unlearning the Red Scare propaganda we’ve been fed. I suggest you join us.
They used to have shitty healthcare but the government put efforts to change that because they were embarrassed to be the second wealthiest nation and have such poor outcomes.
Regardless they are absolutely less free than the USA and are undisputedly worse on LGBT+ rights according to their legal codes. There’s no propaganda here. The Chinese government does not grant equal rights.
The US also doesn’t grant equal rights. We are literally a genocidal settler colonist state that supports genocidal regime and puts fascists in power, like what you talking about Willis lmao
And China’s a genocidal imperialist totalitarian state if we apply the same standards.
The fact is legally speaking you currently are vastly less free in China. It’s moronic to claim otherwise. This is easily proven by looking at your rights on speech for example.
China is less free than most countries. China has a state that forces inequality because at their core the Chinese Communist Party is hypocritical and seeks to oppress the masses
They arrest anyone in the US who protests against the actions of the state.
But I’ll remember when I’m dying from lack of affordable food, housing, and healthcare, that at least I was able to share a few more of my hot takes online than other people.
Anyway, I’m not defending China. I hope you learn to get past the propaganda. It’s quite liberating.
