@liztai i am not Chinese or even Asian. I'm Costa Rican. Which means that I am not in your specific situation, but I certainly understand THIS:

"Even the subheading of this article sums it up best: the US won the internet, and now makes us all speak its language."

And omg I am so TIRED of this. It's so fucking much.

@gekidasa yesssssssss we are drowning in their narratives 😭

@gekidasa yea. Honestly just feel like retreating but I am stubborn cos this is my culture they are tearing apart ugh

@liztai I can't really say do or not do anything, I'm not in your position. But I appreciate seeing other people around that are not from the predominant US culture on the internet (and actually not just US, but that's neither here nor there)

@gekidasa likewise! And I am sure you too have to endure weird takes about your country and culture online lol

@liztai

That sucks that people arguing over the american ruling classes anxieties.

@alienghic yea it sucks. Dividing us rather than uniting is in our love for Cdramas 😖

@liztai Thanks for your piece! I don't watch Chinese dramas, and had no idea this anti-China thing was a thing.

Also thanks for the link! I grew up in Israel but have lived in the UK for over 20 years. The UK's wholesale adoption of American culture wars is something I have regular rants about.

@noam yea it sucks for everyone, but must be frustrating for U as most assume you'd share the same worldview just because U live in the same region.

The whole anti-china in fandom thing is often felt by Chinese folks. Non-Chinese folks are often oblivious and when we point it out they always argue that they have the right to criticise China, mostly due to their warped belief that China is like Mordor on Earth 🤷
