Hearing talk that the new Harry Potter movie is being “censored” by removing talk abt Dumblefuck and Grimshit being in love at one point or another. Thing is, there’s never any sources provided, especially never in the Chinese perspective, it doesn’t line up with what China would usually do (as there is a lot of LGBT media in China and popular LGBT people who get representation across the nation). And yet people often smear the country as being less progressive as the US, the country that has passed extremely discriminatory laws against LGBT people while in China there’s trans healthcare. Doesn’t make sense. Any of y’all know more about the subject than I do who can send me sources about the topic?

    Understandable. It’s just confusing considering I’ve been around Chinese fandom sites for awhile now and seen how popular LGBT content is there. Never seen irl porn on those sites, but certainly hentai, so liberals shouldn’t be too mad. But they’re liberals so they think irl porn is freedom for some reason.

      Liberals will only care about two good-looking actors/actresses kissing on a tv show before they contemplate the reality of being gay in China. Are LGBT people protected from housing discrimination, can they be fired for mentioning off-hand their sexuality? Who cares! They only want to consume Chinese LGBT people like any other product.

      It’s also an excuse for homophobic big companies in the West catering to homophobes living in the West. LGBT people still aren’t considered “family friendly” and they will blame anything else but their own shit western society. Oh Disney must sell in China… What’s a Florida bill?
