Oh hey reading through Blastoise's ban thread and I think this is what I remembered the most out of this:

quote:

In regards to the idea of "Blastoise offers a unique and valuable perspective we can't afford to lose"... Personally, I think the solution to that means making more concerted efforts to reach out to more kinds of people who could offer perspectives similar to Blastoise's. The solution isn't to make efforts to hold onto any one toxic person just because they have knowledge we don't. The forum's still working on how to increase our membership in constructive ways, maybe that's something that needs to be taken into consideration as part of those plans.

Narrator: BNR East Asia thread is dead and there is still no mainland Chinese poster posting in the thread.

other fun examples i can remember

-probed/ran off one of the few black posters for posting "i hate that ni**a" about obama (using a slur, very uncomfortable to read)
-defended the probe because its best to just assume digital blackface first, apparently
-decolonization thread devolving into bizarre concerns about ethnostates and white genocide, led by the sites founder no less

Hey now to be fair BNR is merely a forerunner of what happened at a very liberal forum I happen to to read. Two Chinese members got subforum banned from the politics zone over being very rude and angry at white liberals and leftists regurgitating Zenz bullshit too.

I mean aside from 100% being a complete arm of western intelligence/statecraft agencies not really, they hilariously managed to get cracked down on by just being super loving annoying and lame. Like, yea they do break laws about organizing against the government and all but they (unless I forgot something big...) haven't really done terrorist poo poo or anything like that.

Like, imagine being so devoted to a cult of a guy who says he can fly but only if nobody's looking you get yourself on a government watchlist.

hollywood movies are for boomers. the chinese company Tencent controls fortenight/call of duty/world of warcraft, they are dominating the future

That's not true at all. By sales indications Chinese teens and young adults love big budget blockbusters like the avengers and transformer franchises

In fact they're now far and away the biggest consumer market for eestern movies, which is why Hollywood will continue to portray the prc in a positive light even as the American public becomes increasingly sinophobia.

My two favorite aspects of the Falun gong founder is 1) He dress like a mid-level communist cadre and never invented any culty superhero costume 2) The whole cult just pretend he hasn't been dead for years.

cspam reaches a critical mass of people where at least there are multiple cliques and its too big to effectively manage the discourse. its not good when there is one clique and they are also the mods

i went to BNR curiously at the start and then i realized PJ was being welcomed there and immediately removed the bookmark and never went back.

to be entirely clear the available historical evidence suggests that the printing press developed independently in both the west and the east with the first known metallic press being the jikji movable type and even the notion that gutenburg heard about east asian printing presses through the grapevine is really recent as far as i know there were no records indicating regular contact between china and europe before the dancing with jikji* people started bugging the vatican to confirm they have letters from this one priest who was known to be in china back then

however even given that caveat the documentary also goes into how while gutenburgs printing press is taught literally everywhere almost no one outside of korea has even heard of the jikji movable type or knew that the technology spread to china before europe and the excuses given for why this is the case are especially unconvincing like the dancing with jikji people go to the gutenburg museum and find out that even alleged gutenburg experts know about as little about gutenburgs origin story as anyone else knows about how where the jikji movable type came from we dont even know if gutenburg actually invented it himself or if he was even a real person

*a previous post referred to the title of this documentary as the jikji code because thats the name of the documentary in korean but they changed it to dancing with jikji in english for some reason
yah saying it looks like gutenberg or some dude in europe independently invented the printing press would be fine whether it turns out to be correct or not

saying they invented the printing press and not mentioning the hundred year prior precedent in east asia is white supremacist

From what I've read, most space launches have these parts go through a controlled re-entry so they do actually hit the ocean. Hell, SpaceX is trying to get them to land for reuse, even if their track record is not great. You'd think an advanced country like China would seek a PR success and not risk it hitting Beijing.
