even if u redefine sex tourism as having sex with foreigners from poorer countries, a chengdu lesbian going to San Francisco to hook up with lesbians is closer to sex tourism than the other way around

@OSCheburashka @GANYUTITFONDLER @aggadahGothic @defwrongness like honestly the issue isn’t even they don’t know what sex trafficking is (understandable) but they don’t understand china is. like. rich (do u live under a rock)

@GANYUTITFONDLER @aggadahGothic @gatha_writes @defwrongness its likely posted by someone who has never been to china or has limited information and views the country as one big sweatshop and hawker market

are you guys sure that going to chengdu to hook up with lesbians isnt like. sex tourism. just a little bit. like a tiny bit sex tourism

@OSCheburashka @aggadahGothic @defwrongness unironically San Francisco probably has more homeless women sleeping with whom would be actual financial coercion, than Chengdu!

@OSCheburashka @aggadahGothic @defwrongness won’t anyone think of the impoverished sex tourism riddled town with a higher GDP than San Francisco? those poor exploited global south lesbians who are product managers at huawei?

@aggadahGothic @defwrongness if you think USA is in an advantaged neocolonial dynamic with CHINA then an American marrying a Canadian is basically sex trafficking

@gatha_writes @defwrongness i dont know why everyone thinks this is an amazing gotcha your town isnt advantaged in a neocolonial dynamic with new york city

@aggadahGothic @defwrongness I went to nyc to have sex with lesbians in lesbian bars am I a sex tourist to you

@aggadahGothic @defwrongness Do you think the problem of sex tourism is the tourism part.

@KakaywD20918 my heart bleeds for you ! I hope you get to leave.

@gatha_writes Death to patriarchy

is this how westerners feel when they find out men in India complain about unfair rape laws

do you remember when Taliban took over Afghanistan and people were saying it’s racist to prioritise women refugees

“acknowledging patriarchal societies you are bombing are patriarchal is imperialism” has done so much damage to the world. not in the least because this rhetoric was adopted by so many people NOT being airbombed who wanted a get out of jail free card for their cultural misogyny

''Girls are being raped. Not metaphorically. Not as legal shorthand. The day their bodies bleed for the first time, they will be made pregnant by a man four, five, or six times their age, and their small bodies tell the rest. Thirty-two per cent of deaths for Afghan girls aged 15 to 19 are pregnancy-related and Afghanistan's maternal mortality rate is among the world's highest, 521 deaths per 100,000 live births.'' - Writes @NasimiShabnam independent.co.uk/world/child-ma…

@SarahTheHaider Gazans are in the third year of genocide and haven’t started selling their girl toddlers but okay.

@Luc_pete granta didn’t submit it for anything, it was judged entirely by the commonwealth foundation, Granta just publishes the regional winners.

I’ve decided Granta published the AI story with the intent to submit it for the award knowing that it’s judged by AI, to expose it as a sham. Or that this whole mess is fake and made up as a joke. Regardless, just please accept my pitch I’ll say anything really

@icedlatteenthu I would recommend r/jeeneetards, r/cbse, r/indianeducation.

Hypothetically if I wanted to direct something that features young boys affected by the manosphere and red pill in India how woukd I reach out to them hmmmm and get them on camera ( face hidden or just their VO)

@lolopantz actually he wrote lolita because he road tripped across USA to catch butterflies and needed to offload (i strongly recommend immediately going back to the foreword after finishing it)

We AI write. We LinkedIn invite. We Zoongie greet. We Pangram cheat. We Granta statement. We £5k payment. We serpent garden. We Tokarczuk pardon.

IDC if people hate me for saying this, but the kind of media trial female victims are subjected to in India today - even after death - is exactly why what happened to Rhea Chakraborty should have alarmed and scared every decent person. The public watched a woman get vilified, slut shamed, psychoanalysed, accused of unimaginable crimes and turned into a national villain before anything was proven. And the worst part is that a large section of public happily participated in it alongside the media mocking her, abusing her, dehumanising her and treating her humiliation like entertainment. Years later, the damage to her reputation and life remains, while the media channels, influencers and journalists who built an industry out of destroying her life faced no consequences. Now every high profile case involving a female victim follows the same template: character assassination, moral policing, attacks on mental health, questioning her sexuality, questioning her choices and turning the woman herself into the accused. Rhea Chakraborty was more or less the lab rat used to test how far and low people, media institutions and the public could go in discrediting and destroying a woman with zero accountability.

embarrassed to admit that I submitted a piece to the CW prize/Granta a couple of years ago that got rejected but WAS picked up by the stinging fly so. go to the stinging fly for your non-jasmine scented AIslop.

very al capone went to jail for tax evasion of granta to catch strays for a story its editorial didn’t even choose (they automatically publish the winners of the cw short story contest)
