    From what I understand there sadly has been a more conservative shift from the government in recent years. I don’t think there are any openly discriminatory laws, but LGBT media is being censored, dating apps are removed from appstores, etc. I feel like it’s another case of severe overreaction to a threat of “western influence”, similar to Xinjang.

      Yeah, there’s some official policy regarding gender norms and representation in media. Pop stars have to look manly, unlike the ones in kpop
