Chinese food, like authentic stuff, is absolutely loving disgusting inedible trash. When i went to China I was hyped for the street food but it was all just like bones with a tiny amount of gristle on them.

So what I’m saying is Shen Yun is lame and Falun Gong sucks poo poo too

“Made in USA. Free of Communism.”

“See what 1.4 billion in China can’t see.”

My least favourite thing about it is how preachy and political it is, even in the advertising. I have zero vested interest in Chinese domestic politics just as I would hope someone in China has no interest in affecting ours.

The Karl Marx Tsunami sounds loving incredible though tbqh

It's cult propaganda from another cult trying to be a big-boy religion; of course it's going to be preachy and political.

Went out to eat tonight and there were Shen Yun promotional booklets up at the front of the restaurant. I grabbed one thanks to being informed about it by this thread, but haven't had a chance to give it a good looking over yet.

I wanted to have a nice treat with culture and stuff so I bought expensive box tickets, $250 each, me and my girl at the Kennedy Center in DC.

The seats were in an over-stuffed box seat with an occluded view. We had chairs stuck against the wall and couldn't see poo poo because of a stupid pillar in the way. The box area was designed for maybe 10 people but they had like 40 so it was awful. Also the music sucked and gave me a headache.

You should, it will teach you how to meditate yourself to godhood so you can survive the coming apocalypse & stop ghost aliens from taking over your body.
Also you will learn how evil homosexuality is & how gay sex will generate negative karma.

Look, I'm as concerned about ghost aliens as the next guy, but it sounds like their take on sexuality is a bit too Catholic for my tastes.

Was it that awful chinese opera singing where the women are imitating men imitating women? For a while women weren't allowed to sing chinese opera, so they had men take the women's parts in a falsetto... and then when they brought the women back they imitated that. It's unlistenably bad. Just high pitched and warbly.

Thats basically just Chinese Opera, since the specific style that does that, Peking/Beijing Opera is the dominant style of Chinese Opera. I do not care who is upset by this, all the great classics of Chinese Opera sound ear splittingly bad because of it and ruin what are otherwise good works of art.

It’s the kind of stuff professional torturers would decry as inhumane. I don’t understand how anyone could even begin to tolerate it, let alone like it.
