Foreign Themed Content (ie: posts on China, India, Vietnam, etc.) not permitted on AznIdentity (self.aznidentity)
submitted 2 days ago by archelogy to /aznidentity
From Rules
Limitation of Foreign-Themed Posts and Sexpat posts -
more detail: See this post. If you post foreign-themed content, MAKE sure to post it as a Text post. And provide ample explanation why this is relevant to Asians in the West. All other posts will be removed. For more on this, see this post. Regarding Sexpat content, this sub is for what's happening in the West, where we live; similar rules apply as to FTC.
AznIdentity is not a pro-China sub. We are not an anti-China sub. We are Asians who live in the West and we publish content that affects us directly. So if it's happening somewhere else in the world, it's not for AI. These have been our rules for a duration but we get an influx of noobs so we have to remind people. If you want to discuss those issues, go to r Sino.
I will also warn people who post on r GenZedong - many such members have violated these rules. Doing so risks a perma-ban. We are not that kind of subreddit. Do not think you can be cute and drop your propaganda here. AI is not an anti-American subreddit either.
The subreddit is for Asian-Americans, Asian-Canadians, Asian-Australians, etc. Our identity is unique and separate from homeland politics.

The next level "red-pill" of racsim is going to be geopolitics.
We always knew something was wrong with media. Many didn't understand or believed how closely it was tied with CIA propaganda machine until Trump ham fisted attacks relieved too much. How can be we center of wokeness when many of our member repeat scripted sinophobic propaganda points that have been debunked? Even less aware then average white redditor at times in this fast moving world.
The sub claims to value anti-racsim, pan-asianism but when Chinese Americans were hurting the most this sub pretty much turned its back on the subject. Now instead of AsianIdentity, /r sino eclipsed this sub in members and active members. Simiarly china-defending YouTubers went from 100s of subscriber to 100,000s in less in a year. The number dont lie, this was one of most important racial topics of the year - aznidentity completely dropped the ball.
Arc, I've supported you guys since the beginning but you owe this topic better. At very least a weekly catch-all thread is needed

Those conversations are fine but have them on r Sino - that's what that sub is set up for.

Are you kidding me? We probably had hundreds of threads on Covid-19 racism. It was all we talked about for the first 3 months of the pandemic. Even now, we have tons of threads about it.

Can you be more specific as to what you mean; such as examples.
Overlap topics are permitted. For example, if someone in the midst of attacking China, attacks Chinese culture, Chinese people, generalizes about Chinese people, that's relevant to Chinese-Americans.
But if it's pro-CCP, anti-CCP, anti-CIA, pro-CIA etc - that's outside our focus; of talking about life as an Asian-American (or Asian in the West).

see, i could've swear that this wasn't the case when i first joined in. i read that this sub was a pan asian community discussing asian issues from a global perspective from asian diaspora all over the world.
that was why the moderator personally asked me to create this post which ended up being pinned in the sub for a while. the moderator specifically told me how the same tactic applies to asian in western diaspora and thus the discussion in recognizing the white supremacist media manipulation is beneficial for asians globally.
did things changed? is this no longer the place for people like me, who don't live in the west anymore? should we all leave the sub?
and in case of china, did you realize that they just brought racism against asian american on a global scale in UN human rights council? i mean i'm not even chinese, nationally or ethnically, but turning our backs to them when they got our backs like this isn't right.
yes, the overwhelming chinese post can get annoying sometimes. but why didn't we see the same decision being made when korea wave was in traction? why wasn't there anyone saying things like "our identity is different bong joon-ho, we shouldn't talk too much about him"? is it because he got recognized by a white instution? are we not against pandering to white majority in order to gain seat at the table?
i personally think this decision is wrong, and it seems to be very unpopular (among asians in this sub too) to add. it might be the start of this sub turning into asianamerican 2.0 or perhaps the conservative version of it.
i ask moderator's discretion to review this ruling once again.
PS: in any case shit hits the fan and worst come true, can anyone refer me to a discord server filled with some real asian homies?

This sub is for Asians living in the West. Rule 9
(9) AI is primarily for Asians in the West more detail: While mixed Asians and Asians living in Asia are permitted on our sub, they need to be mindful of all our rules and abide by them. AI is built by and for native-born 2nd+ gen Asians living in the diaspora.
If you're primarily going to be attacking America or the countries we live in, no this is not the right sub.
From rules: AI is not Anti-American nor Anti-Western more detail: Self-explanatory for the most part. There are some, often foreign-born or those who are non-Western, who think Ai is a good place to post content that attacks America for no reason (or the West). That is not what AI is about. So posts that attack America/Western countries with no broader insight will be removed. If the post shows how the conduct reflects some way on white people, whereby it might have some implications on Asians living in the West, it might be accepted.
These rules have been there so if you're not mindful of them, maybe you're just another newbie who doesn't bother to read them.

This thread is being brigaded by GenZedong and Sino types-
I can see the vote count real-time. Actual AI members are supportive and I've heard from several. As a consequence about how these types have acted in response to this guidance, I am going to come down even harder on them with perma-bans, instead of temp-bans.
Solid proof eunuchID was never for pro-Asians and never will be. Castrated and braindead fucking eunuchs on that shitstain sub still believe this poo is "dOiNg a GuD jOb!"
