      China banning porn is like the single issue thing I don’t agree with the CPC on, but from what I gather it’s super easy to use a vpn in country and sidestep the firewall so it’s really whatever.

        there’s also drugs for fun, but in both cases it’s fairly understandable why they arrived at their prohibitions. it isn’t religious moralizing.

        idk i haven’t read my kollontai yet but i kinda think the first act of a proletarian government should be to ban sex work. obviously if you’re making sex tapes not for survival it’s a little different but

      There’s actually a really funny loophole/phenomena where China bans all outright sexual pornography, but it doesn’t ban the adjacent non sexual bondage erotica type videos and photos. So you can find videos of a “relationship drama where a woman is kidnapped by another woman and menaced” type thing that is super horny but never sexual. Then a funny subset is there are people who dress up as the police or PLA etc and do horny trials of spies/corrupt official etc. They pretend it’s a morality type play, but it’s just entirely horny. Then photos of these hit the Western internent and they get presented as proof of China’s secret purges. When it’s just a bunch of horny larpers and BDSM nerds.

      That’s my point exactly. They have a blanket ban which makes much more sense than kink policing.

      Although to be honest, I’m no expert on the Chinese legal code so I don’t want to make too many comments on their approach. I’ve seen much conflicting information.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
