I'd assume that they're white and had the privilege of growing up in a community that didn't have loud dissenters against LGBT+ folk.

Like.... you literally get jailed for writing gay fiction in china
Sopaper Nibfdvt
why.... do gay people support this
Sopaper Nibfdvt
why are so many young marginalized folks like "getting disappeared sounds fucking awesome!!"

my friend's brother had a coworker visit china, and get permission to bring his husband with him, and then get arrested in a raid at a gay club, be detained and held, and have his passport confiscated
zee art
but i'm sure it's all fine

I think it's because they get sold on the idea of socialism/communism as a way to 'destroy capitalism'
lucineblue
so ANYTHING that supports those things MUST be good

About a decade and a half ago, one of the moderators in a Harry Potter forum got disappeared. We heard from her friend that she was taken away and that was that.
lucineblue
and they'll ignore anything that you know, obviously puts a break on that.

Sopaper Nibfdvt
Man I guess there are some things my brain isn't built to handle
Sopaper Nibfdvt
I was abt to say smth about privileged gay folks who look back fondly on reagan but even that has an economic/social incentive
