Comment on Why do people often say that China bans LGBT western media?
panic@lemmygrad.ml 2 years agoAbsolutely. China is still developing and growing its ideas towards LGBT people (like every other country on Earth) it follows that the self-censorship will mellow with time.
It's a relatively new phenomenon, the Mainland produced some (questionable at times) LGBT content up to 10 years ago. It's not a feature of "Chinese media" by any means. Online/independent communities keep making it. It will get better.

This is key. These countries have to struggle for lgbtq rights on their own terms. No one claims China or any other AES country is a bastion for sexual freedom. But libs think that because they aren't that they deserve to be balanced, which is straight up psychopathy.

Don't forget that most post-Communist countries didn't become LGBT paradises. They're rightist hellscapes now. One of the worst disservices we could make to Chinese LGBT people is advocate for the dissolution of the Communist goverment.
