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.

i saw these shen yun ads all over, thought they were stupid for glorifying pre-mao china as just ppl dancing and whatnot. but i had no idea they were connected to a fucking cult. god

side note, he's a lib. he refuses to call falun gong a cult because that's what the CPC calls them. embarrassing

Yeah this video is embarassingly anticommunist and just goes along with the whole organ harvesting thing. I might've dipped out too early, but how can you not get "Planned Parenthood selling aborted fetuses" vibe from the "documentary" he showed

I thought he called bullshit on the organ harvesting thing

Maybe eventually, but I've watched almost this whole thing and every time this guy reaches a stance like "Wait this is bullshit" he literally goes "Wait, but the communist party of China says that too, and they're evil!" At 22:10 in the video he literally says the CPC gets their money from "being evil and shit" fuck off. Stop being a white chauvinist for the two seconds it takes to see that FALUN GONG IS A CULT that also HURTS PEOPLE. It's easy for him to say they're "just" a racist and transphobic religious movement because he's not a target of the isms that Falun Gong media pushes. I wish I could say "finally, a good video on Falun Gong" but all I can say is "fuck off".

Thank you for pointing this out. Westerners have a predisposition to dislike anything the Mainland Chinese do that even leftists are sometimes guilty for falling for it.

I'd really like to watch Shen Yun for fun but I don't want to give them money by going in person.

Is it available online somewhere?
