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

The level of shortsightedness in people is astounding to me again and again. History really seems to always repeat. When will people ever learn that there is no company in the world that is their friend.
“Oh, but it looks fine and i havent had any issue” says the little user that is currently feeding the networking effect of the next platform, that will inevitably fail in exactly the same way as every other for profit social media.
“Oh, but everyone is here and i dont wanna switch again” says the little user that now has the choice between losing all their feeds and follows or staying on a platform slowly being squeezed for money or political incentives.
Well whoever said CCP will censor LGBT content doesn’t know much about the CCP.
On the other hand try posting anything critical about the Chinese government…
Chinese writer sentenced to 10 years in prison for homoerotic book
A Chinese novelist has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for writing and distributing homoerotic novels, provoking widespread debate online over the severity of her sentence.
The female writer, surnamed Liu, but more commonly known by her internet pseudonym Tianyi, was arrested in 2017 following the success of her novel “Occupy,” according to reports in Chinese state media.
The book was described by police in East China’s Anhui Province as depicting “obscene sexual behavior between males” set to themes of “violence, abuse and humiliation.”
He wrote porn, full stop. Creating pornographic content is an offensive, regardless of content or audience. But good work posting a sensationalized version of events that happens to align with us state dept propaganda.

What the actual fuck?! Where… do people with such a surreal worldview even come from?!
…that was nearly the entirety of the worlds view for most of post printing press history. But in this case a majority of China’s citizens felt pornography was offensive, so it’s now illegal. Not enough people care to introduce or vote in legislation to make it legal.

lol, not enough people vote in a dictatorship or protest against the dictatorship to make it legal.
China has a robust democracy where every citizen can vote. It’s a dictatorship of the proletariat. The reason you think differently is because you’ve never talked with someone that’s ever been to China, much less a citizen of China, so you internalized racist propaganda.
:KEKW: its sad that you actually think that, but no, a one party system is, in fact, not a democracy
From what I’ve seen, a lot of queer people are afraid to be themselves there. Some may even experience backlash and threats of violence for being LGBTQIA. There’s a lot of hostility to us across that entire nation tbh.
On top of that, there is constant scrutiny with mass state surveillance. Queer and POC may be silenced or even face imprisonment for expressing themselves. And don’t forget that nation’s concentration camps, genocide, torture of political prisoners, and barring people who don’t toe the party line from residency and citizenship.
Oh wait, that isn’t Red Note. That’s the USA and my small town.
BWAHA you had me in the first half ngl 😆😆
You might appreciate this.
This guy asked people on Red Note if it’s ok to be gay, and I laughed at the response:
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.
