I'm sharing this in response to Thai transgender YouTuber alleges sexist treatment at Chinese airport

TL;DW:
If you identify as someone in the LGBTQIA+ community, please don't travel to China. It is very unlikely that your human rights will be respected to say the least.

Yeah. There are people like Hasan Piker who are clearly just talking about what they want to talk about, and the chips fall where they may. And then, there are other people in the landscape, where the topics of conversation follow a very particular ebb and flow (as you say, the economy and the government’s relationship to it has suddenly become super unimportant to them, now, this year, not worthy of close and extensive examination all of a sudden). And also, when those topics are discussed, certain very particular framings and cliches seem to show up again and again.

I honestly don’t really know which category “Second Thought” falls into. My suspicion of them isn’t based on all that much more than a couple things I found suspicious. But I did find a couple things about them to be suspicious.

Well that's interesting, thanks for sharing. I think it's good to always ask questions about what media we consume. Even if we like what it's saying or think it's fine. Critical thinking and being cautious can never hurt
