Re: Most likely to cause wank this season

[(Anonymous)]

How was the influx of chinese fans fumbled? From what I saw, the main problem was that the chinese fans couldn't be bothered to choose the correct language so the english language tags were full of chinese stuff... AO3 changed it so that there was no default language and everyone had to go through the bother of choosing a language every time. Which seems pretty nice and non-racist to me, especially because the chinese fandom has always done everything they could to keep non-chinese fans out of their spaces. Too many non-chinese people on weibo? Lock the downloads and hide the password in such a way that you have to be fluent to understand the riddle. Surely western fandom has been nicer to chinese fans than chinese fandom has ever been to western fans.


Points made above:

-The Chinese fans beginning to use AO3 caused problems for other people and behaved badly
-AO3 made a change and this change was a problem because it inconvenienced other people; this is the Chinese fans' fault
-That was so nice and accommodating of AO3, clearly the Chinese fans should have been grateful
-Chinese fandom, a monolith, is hostile and specifically xenophobic, especially compared to AO3, a welcoming haven
-Claim that one specific action by Weibo prove points that all Chinese fandom spaces are uniformly xenophobic
-Claim that one specific action by AO3 proves that Western fandom spaces are uniformly nicer

You could make this more racist, I truly believe you! But. This is seriously racist.

Wow, that's an incredible bad faith reading. Congrats, you're an asshole.
