New rule (Bill Maher style).

Mods need to start banning vague posting.

Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu's father, Arthur Liu, is a successful lawyer with his own practice, Inter-Pacific Law Group Inc., in the Bay Area, after immigrating from China where he was a student activist involved in the Tiananmen Square protests. He is a single father who raised all five of his children, including Alysa, through surrogacy and is also known for his significant financial investment in Alysa's skating career.

Well TIL

Big oof. 3 years in prison for people smuggling? That sounds really lenient actually. Rookie mistake, you've got to say something vague like "China punishes people trying to escape very harshly." SMH these propagandists can't even do their jobs anymore.

It took a lot of googling.

Name names, cryptic OP. Which Olympian(s) is/are the product of this breeding program?

She seems cool enough, supposedly she quit skating for a bit bc she fell out w her dad.

Feel bad that she is getting pulled into all the muck. Also the Internet is being very normal bc she is pretty 😔

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I've watched a few interviews with her and she hasn't really dwelt on her father's history when people have brought it up, nor has she brought it up unprompted. I'm sure she's got some brainworms, but she certainly doesn't strike me as an anti-China crusader.

Also, since literally no one is talking about her actual figure skating: please, check out her Olympic free skate^[I think that link will be geoblocked outside of the States, but I'm sure you can find it on YouTube from your local broadcaster]! Has to be the most joyful skating program I've ever seen; she seems to be someone who has genuinely found happiness in skating after rejecting the grueling training of her childhood, coming back to the sport on her own terms, and focusing on enjoying herself and expressing herself rather than on results (which I know sounds like corny athlete PR speak, but if you listen to her and watch her you'll see that it's from the heart). I think she's going to be an inspiration for people from within and without the figure skating world.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

She does seem cool, and she's good at what she does.

And ya, someone told me it sounds like he might have been hard on her as a coach, because she came back to skating with him not as a coach anymore.

But she looks like she's doing it for fun now and not because her traditional Asian parent is forcing her to be amazing at it (which reminds me of when "Tiger Mom" parenting styles were all the rage in the discourse circa 2011), and it's great to see someone enjoy what they do while also being really good at it imo.

idek which olympics thing this is referring to but i think it’s an op at least to the extent that so much of the posting reads as forced. i have barely if at all clicked or spoken about the olympics and my feeds are positively flooded with nonsense
