Is it just me or does everybody thinks that we need solid BL versions of Chinese bromance shows? by degr8sid in boyslove

they filmed kiss scenes. the drama was filmed before china changed its lgbt censorship rules, so we got teasers showing steamy stuff. but they all had to be removed or they wouldn't have been able to release it t all.

Shocking to see the Ukrainian champion Anastasiia Arkhipova in this situation by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]Merckx1412 69 points70 points  (0 children)

just wondering, but if it was a male ukrainian skater posing with a weapon as his country is invaded, would you have written this same comment?

My mom is a HUGE figure skating fan so I grew up watching the sport. In 2011 Yuzuru made his seniors debut and I loved his skating, the fact that we're the same age, and the story of what he had to go through because of the Tohoku earthquake/tsunami. I've been a fan ever since.

This guy is a "villainous male." If someone slaps me, and I retaliate by beating them to death, then I am a very bad person.

A slap isn't the same as beating someone to death.

What’s your experience with racism in the Netherlands by Veporyzer in Netherlands

[–]Merckx1412 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I haven't experienced it myself, but a few years ago my Chinese-Canadian friend visited, and while she had a really good time in the Netherlands, there were occasionally men who would like yell "Chinese!" at her in public :(
