      You support authoritarians, I don’t support you. It’s that simple. She made her choice years ago, now she can live with the consequences.

        I never said I support China, but I also don’t blame a lesbian dating a minority woman from a group who is actively being ethnically cleansed by the Chinese government for doing what she has to do to survive. She’s been blackbagged multiple times over the years and the government watches what she says very closely. And I also don’t blame her for opposing Westerners who apparently often just tried to use her as a tool to support whatever narrative they were trying to spin at the time and then criticize her for bringing up issues she faced that didn’t support their narrative.

        That would be like me saying that you made your choice when you decided to live in a country founded by a British prison colony, and now you can live with the consequences. Which is where I was sarcastically going originally, but I think the comparison would’ve been lost on you.

          Not you you, you as in her (or anyone else who would). And I’ve known of her from when her works first popped up on HackADay, before China was clamping down on Uyghurs, before she went into the extreme body modding, etc. I’ve disliked her longer than the majority of you known she even existed.

          But hey make it racist, keep talking about westerners and what not. Show your real colours.

            I made it racist because you bodyshamed her, called her a freak, and then said she deserves to be silenced, kidnapped, possibly killed along with her girlfriend, and whatever other horrible things the Chinese government can come up with. All because you don’t like her. I fail to see the difference between racism and what you said. Which was my point in going that route.

            I’m a trans woman in the US. My life expectancy is 30 years due to suicide rates and how commonly we end up murdered. My colors are supporting minorities against oppression, regardless of whether or not I like them or agree with them.

              You fail to see a difference between hating someone for being born vs hating someone for supporting genocidal regimes?

                No, I fail to see the difference between hating someone for being born and supporting the actions of a genocidal regime against a person because you don’t like them.
