    Before I knew shit, I'd always see people trying to call out r/sino on reddit, and I never bothered to actually look into what it was, I just assumed they were the racsists, cause reddit has them all, and man ohhh man, finding out sino was actually cool and good made me feel like the biggest lib (still am, but did to too.)

      That sub is a bit one sidedly positive at times, even for me, but its the very understandable product of a siege situation. Its one of the few places on Reddit where you can post something good or neutral about China and not be shouted down.

        yeah, i followed r/china for awhile and man did it warp and distort what I was actually trying to accomplish by subbing to that place. Just a bunch of angry sexpats back then which turned into the worst possible reactionary hellholes on reddit when the HK protests started up. I mean, it was always reactionary scum shit, but it got worse, a lot worse.

        It's so easy to manipulate otherwise good intentioned people with that shit, i realized quick how many predators were on that sub, but occasionally a normal person or a non-subscriber would post there and it would be very interesting to read some stuff about their experience in China. Or some people would post some very nice photos they took. If you didn't no-life that place at some point, it would be so easy to skew your view on something you didn't know anything about, at all.

          Yeah, every East Asian country subreddit is basically just salty sexpats fuming about not finding "muh traditional submissive azn waifu".

          The venn diagram of those types and reactionary chuds is basically a circle.
