        He is both very real and very funny / stupid. He is a pretty hardcore Chinese Nationalist living in Taiwan. You can follow him for some good threads on the history and class divisions of Taiwanese politics, but just know that you're gonna get takes like the one above as well. He usually keeps his social conservatism slightly more hidden, but it sometimes burst outs. Full disclosure, I've followed him on/off for a few months, when i was more active on Twitter, and he posts A LOT.

          I followed him for a while as well but yeah, eventually his social conservatism got too uncomfortable for me.

            I'm more easily able to tune those things out, because I know that his opinions are completely irrelevant to my daily life. But I am also a white-cis-het man, so East Asian social conservatism is probably not gonna affect me directly.

        People using the term "baizuo" in English social media will never not be cringe to me, especially when the vast majority can't even say it correctly lol
