Twist them yourself. What do you think theory even is? Theory is an attempt to better understand our present conditions and figure out the correct course of action with that in mind, and must be married to practice. It's like the scientific method. By rejecting theory, you reject analysis of conditions and strategic actions, which is why you either don't know what theory is, or are railing against understanding and strategy. Simple.

You chose to post the article and have been getting into fights with people in the comments. I support China overall, there are areas that definitely need improvement but the trends are positive and they are a much more progressive force on the global stage than a country like the US. Moreover, I don't even live in China so my opinion wouldn't be counted on a poll taken from Chinese citizens.
Probably not, but that's not the point of my original comment, that the headline you chose seems to imply only LGBT erotica was targeted. I think you should check out the links I sent, you might learn something new and can be more hopeful for the future.
The people in China approve the government at about a 95% approval rate. The CPC has 96 million members out of the 1.4 billion citizens of China, while this is not mean the government is the people, the people do seem to be represented by government well there. And this is backed by improving material conditions. LGBT conditions are improving over time as well, Jin Xing is an openly transgender celebrity and she is beloved by the country. You should also look into how China's democracy works, as it is based from the bottom up in consensus building, which is why grassroots change is slow yet sure.
When sharing an article highlighting that LGBT erotica was targeted, and not erotica in general, you attempt to twist and massage a narrative. Even state media reports are quite positive and open minded regarding the LGBT community for supposedly being "firmly against them." Demographics within the National Party Congress are changing towards a younger demographic as well. The older generations oppose same-sex marriage, while the younger generations are for it, so these changing demographics are positive for same-sex marriage outlook. You don't really seem to know what you're talking about at all, and it shows.
Regarding your targeted question, I myself am pansexual, of course I want same-sex marriage to be legalized in China. There are already strides being made in the direction of legal and medical rights for couples even without being legally recognized as a marriage, but this is positive change. I hope China follows in Cuba's footsteps with their Family Code, one of the most progressive and expansive in the world, far surpassing the US at a federal level. Signs are positive.
China should definitely be better about LGBT rights, don't get me wrong, but they have been improving steadily over the years, the youth are more socially progressive and have been pushing for change, which is coming gradually. Overall, this is very much an instance of intentionally obscuring the real character of the events in order to push a narrative.
Gotcha, I've seen most of those and stand by my statement that they are Marxists and Anarchists, and you're just attacking Marxists and Anarchists. You can't seem to explain yourself or are unwilling to do so, despite me asking you to.
Worth reading the article, all erotica was targeted, as porn is illegal in China. Implying only gay erotica was targeted implies a homophobic focus, when it was anti-pornography.
Important distinction.
You posted it, what are you saying?
What on Earth are you trying to say here? Musk is die-hard on the MAGA train, and I certainly doubt he likes the PRC much considering how much control they exert over production and how BYD is outselling Tesla greatly.
