it seems clear that there are less POC people on hexbear then there was before. what would you propose, and what do you think the issues are if any. i will be refraining from sharing my opinion for now to encourage more ideas.
white comrades are allowed to post emotes to boost this thread so more people can see it.
All people from hongkong/taiwan are liberals. If they weren't liberal they would just say they're from China.
Idk what you mean
Like they're not countries but still places
Like is a person from Shanghai only meant to say that they're from China?
People who go, "I'm not Chinese, I'm Taiwanese/Hong Konger" are 100% brainwashed liberals. And honestly, Chinese people who overly stress their city and provincial backgrounds are also pretty sus in my experience. There's a difference between city/provincial rivalry, which Chinese people do all the time against each other, and Chinese people overly stressing their city/provincial origins at the expense of their national identity as Chinese people. Experiencing Cantonese chauvinism irl is a trip.
People from Shanghai don't introduce themselves as Shanghainese unless they're liberals. But the point I'm getting at is that an attempt to draw a line between HK/TW and the rest of China and basing their identity on it is the result of liberal idpol. These people internalize every negative thing westerners say about them and need to create this distinction so that they can be "one of the good ones". It's why they have such a superiority complex towards the mainland and an inferiority complex towards Japan/the West.
People aren't dunking on TW/HK for their ethnicity or nationality, they're just shitting on a place run by liberals who also incredibly racist towards Chinese ethnic minorities. It's not like Hexbear users are busting out 12th century slurs for the Cantonese, this place is like the only anglo website that bans sinophobia, so this place is the only place where I'm pretty sure the dunking isn't secretly motivated by a deepseated prejudice against Hakka.
