Bear with me, on this boba liberal’s video.

She talks a bit about restriction, censorship, and standardization of exported media by the ebil CCP /s, but rather focuses it on its consequent dullness, on-the-nose approach and cheapening of its media products…

How would you respond to this, point by point? (Sorry if I may sound like I argue in bad-faith)

Additional thanks if you don’t rely too much on whataboutism (yes, we can apply the artificial-politics-imposed media label, associated with CPC, on U.S media, like G.I Joe and Rambo, some of them even funded by the Department of Defense)

I didnt watch the video but had it pop up in my recommended.

Japan and Korea I feel on some level create things with the knowledge that it will be exported and consumed by ally nations and propped up by weeaboos and koreaboos.

I don’t think China really needs to export their media. They have a huge domestic market, they don’t need western countries in order to succeed. I feel that most Chinese media is made for domestic audiences and therefore they don’t need to create things with westerners in mind. For example square enix will make a video game set in basically medieval Europe (FFXVI) starring primarily westerners. China does not need to do that. It doesn’t need international critical acclaim for media. So they can make films that focus on Chinese stories like “Better Days”.

Also because the intended audience is domestic, a lot of the media created is pretty niche. For example something focused on a businesswoman that speaks Shanghai dialect at home.

Most media creators there just don’t need that international market to succeed and so there is no push to export. The west is so rabid in their brainwashed anti China hate that they would reject anything from China except for small pockets of the population so there is no demand for Chinese media either.

Try pirating some smaller Chinese films, you’ll see how difficult it is to get one with English subtitles.

Some media recommendations with easy to find English translations

films: Better Days

White Snake (3d animated movie)

Webnovel: Daoist Gu

Novel: Three Body Problem

Series: Link Click Three Body Problem Countless BL romances that American AO3 Tumblr types gush over

Games: most of the ones I would like have no English translations. But I’ve played a few like Gujian where it’s fun but not my type of game.

Mobile/gacha games(I don’t like mobile games) Genshin Honkai star rail

Also Chinese devs have been killing it with apps.

Not trying to throw shade at the AO3 crowd lol. I’m honestly curious and hope you can explain, what about cultivation + bl makes it the winning formula? Specifically why is Untamed so popular? I tried asking various AO3 types if they could explain the appeal of their favorite ships but they just straight up refuse to tell me why. The only hints I get are from the YouTuber coleydoesthings.

I have tried watching untamed and I just couldn’t figure out why it got so crazy popular.

这个论坛目前由一个不会说中文的人主持,他不是共产党员,而是一个反帝国主义、反附庸国的欧盟联邦主义者,他似乎在任何地方都找不到立足点,因为他国家的所有政党都是亲美附庸国的,所以暂时居住在这里。

This forum is currently moderated by someone that does not speak Chinese and is not a communist, but an anti-imperialist, multi-polarist EU federalist that can’t seem to find a foothold anywhere, as all political parties in his country are pro-US vassal state, so resides here for the time being.
