Redpill me on China. (hexbear.net)

Okay, so background: I'm your average pro-gun fuck-the-police, fuck-trump zoomer honed by years of unsupervised internet access and I've just discovered this community and started lurking for a while. But I still hold extremely negative views on China, which I still think are justified.

"Which views?" I'll throw them out real quick: child labor! internet censorship! media censorship! anti-LGBTQ! uygher genocide? positive and pro war relations with russia! (because fuck putin)

So I get really confused anytime I see people expressing pro-China sentiments. Have I been spoonfed by the media or are some of these points actually justified?

Ban on gay characters in movies and tv shows? Are you telling me that those guys in my BL dramas are just friends?

Yeah, China is behind America on gay rights. They also don't have a mass movement of evangelical Christians trying to eliminate gay and transgender people. Boomer brain worms seem like a much easier obstacle.
