    a lot of the party are geriatric and are prone to boomer takes. i remember reading a book by an LGBT activist in china who was pro-communist and she seems adamant that the party is about to do a generation swap in 10 years, so things will be much better socially then

    also a lot of these korean boy band dudes do get surgeries to achieve unrealistic beauty standards, so maybe not the best thing to allow to run unimpeded

      I'm optimistic, it's not surprising since all queer soft power is bougie af and is massively chauvinistic.

      It's only the Pete Buttigieges of the world that wield cultural power. I'm not allowed to exist in the lib villages without existing in whiteface.
