Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Ok so you still have all this research out there that proves LGBTQ is an inate part of being a person. No matter what draconian "we need moar babies" policies you have, it will not ever change the fact that about 20% of the human population is queer. Half them hexbear-bi-2. Forcing them to be something they are not is not social harmony. It only leads to tortured, broken families and individuals.

Does the Chinese government just ignore these studies or the obvious consequences? Women who are left after the proscribed mando-baby is born. A wife who is constantly cheated on behind the scenes with men. Kids with absent fathers who resent them as forced obligations rather than a product of choice and a loving responsibility. Or fathers who do love their children but can't stay living a lie. Men who live outcast impoverished lives because they have to now pay Child support because they couldn't keep up the charade.

Then there's the coping mechanisms. Recklessness, impulsively, not wearing condoms because you're used to not wearing one with the wife or poor education because teaching safe sex is taboo now. Drug abuse. Chronic depression because you live a lie and can't tell anyone. Su*cide.

You want honor but you enforce dishonor.

Is the governemnt willfully ignorant at this point?

There are loopholes in select areas yes. If you can afford to move, get a highly competitive job, find a house ect. It is 20 fucking 25. Fucking boomers man. Get over your REPRODUCE fetish. Want more kids? Make it more affordable. That's it. That's the answer CCCP.

When humans have time and resources and hope for kids they are more apt to make room for more. Basic 101 stuff that they seem to look the other way on. But they aren't going to do that if they struggle to meet their own daily needs. That is the same problem in Japan, Korea, and America now.

The problem with birth rates is not the queers. Holy crap. I expected better.

Edit -

And this obsession with rooting out sissiness or percieved effeminate males is what ultimately got my late husband killed despite my constant affirmations. It was beat into him at a young age and drilled by his family constantly. One thing he wrote me was "I don't care if people see me as gay. I just don't want to be seen as a sissy." That is what these campaigns of have to look macho from a top down way does. IT KILLS PEOPLE. So fuck that lame ass shit.

Fucken a. Excellent post.

I'm pretty sure having children is still intrinsically rewarding for a vast majority of the population. I don't understand how such an advanced country can't see that low birthrates are not a byproduct of sexuality.

Boomer brainworm shit fr. Seriously disappointing.

my 'tankiest' opinionEven if one believed that making more babies will only happen through social engineering and coercion, and even if one refused to make that happen through improving the lives and security of existing citizens, why not directly engineer a solution and IVF a generation of wards of the state? Raise them in supergenius/supersoldier prep creches if you like.

Trying to poke and prod the culture to make more babies happen at the margins of enthusiastic and intentional behaviour can only swell the population in the parts of society which are already strained to their limits and under-served by the existing welfare systems.

It's like the limits of imagination are bound by unscientific appeals to nature or tradition or something, but just for this one thing. It's stupid. The nuclear family is an artificial concept, not a fundamental law.

A rational state should be able to do a better job with more predictably positive outcomes than biological parents.

What a good fucking video, thanks a lot for sharing it with us. Bump this shit up, every hexbear needs to see this!

[–] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Good video, watch if you can

::: TL:DR from what I remember

  1. The young generation support it, especially in tier 1 cities
  2. The CPC follow a rule to not promote, to not enable, and to not disable LGBTQ content
  3. Being trans and gay is largely accepted
  4. Being Trans in government is largely accepted but academia discriminates
  5. The government may be acting this way due to the majority population not supporting it (largely the countrysides)
  6. Nationalists view LGBTQ as foreign or weak and the Chinese government promotes 'Anti-Sissification’ [sic]
  7. CPC doesn't want to rock the boat regarding birth rates any further
  8. Chengdu is apparently gay as fuck (whaaaat?) :::

I balied when he claimed Chinese people can't protest and flashed Tinyman bullshit
