anyway maybe i’m missing something but isn’t cracking down on effeminate men just… insane? like i understand a certain proportion of conservatives have some weird freak shit going on where they care a lot what other people look like but enacting it as policy? what the fuck
it might be like about limiting cultural influence from other countries? kpop and such
but also for some reason lots of people have this very weird relationship with masculinity marking it as sort of definitionally good and i don’t get it at all but i observe it often enough
oh that’s an interesting thought. you’d think they’d just go ahead and ban kpop tho, instead of the weird fucked up workaround.
a) “limiting cultural influence from other cultures” sucks in the first place
b) the fact that that goal coincides with rigidly enforcing traditional masculinity is a very very bad sign
not to get too down into the weeds but i think the main people this is horrible for are effeminate men
“ i understand a certain proportion of conservatives “
The CCP? The CCP are conservatives now?
No, they are Far Left. They are communists who are pragmatic about economics. They are authoritarian bastards, always have been. They have nothing in common with Conservatives.
What surprises a lot of Leftists is what traditionally happens to gay men in communist countries.
“ the fixation on masculinity is bizarre “
No, it isn’t. They see the destruction of traditional gender roles as decadence. They are building up a war machine to conquer the world. They want the men to gladly murder you. Not give you cuddles and flowers.
This is entirely predictable, and this goes right back to the days of Stalin and Mao. That’s nearly a century of the same behaviour. Why is it now a surprise?
And looking at the feminisation of the military, and the defeat after defeat of an army obsessed with diversity quotas instead of winning battles, I don’t know if they are entirely wrong about this.
They aren’t limiting this to the army. Even children are being banned from computer games on the grounds that they will be physically unready for the wars of conquest.
We saw this before.
Just remember – surrendering to them just makes it easier for them to kill you.
Where are the Tibetans, the Uighars? Will anyone remember them, after the Chinese are done?
