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.”

IANAL in Chinese law but I believe it is writing erotic stuff that's illegal in China, gay or not.

memes.ml banned me for saying both US and China engage in propaganda. One of the users, which I assume to be one of the moderators, responded as false equivalence because I could not reply the minute after the response. Either that, or because I directly mentioned .ml users in general is tone deaf about China doing its own propaganda.

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.

I mean…that’s both vampiric superpowers. China and the US.

There's no such thing as a benevolent state, to be honest. Nations and borders only divide and subject us. Every day, I feel more sure that we need to build communities in spite of states and to do what we can to disrupt and abolish them, so thank you for mentioning this glaring example.

However, I will say when we in the US point at China, we've got three fingers pointing back at us. Pretty hypocritical of us, and largely racist.

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.

And yet, here you are, making this post.

Would you be making a post giving trump props if an occasion happened where he was the broken clock that happened to be right that one time? No? Then what are you doing here? (I don't need you response, this is something you should be asking yourself)

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 points 1 day ago

You’re getting my response anyway, ready?

Would you be making a post giving trump props…?

Does Trump own TikTok? Instagram? No. So I would not give Trump props when TikTok or Instagram exhibit good behaviors.

I am giving props to RedNote for the space it is allowing for queer voices.
Fuck Trump.
Fuck the CCP.

That’s it. You gotta engage your active listening skills more brother. ❤️
