China is improving but they're pretty much a couple of decades behind on lgbt rights. There's a conservative faction in the party that sees lgbt culture as divisive/western decadence and suppresses anything deemed to "promote" it.
There have been recent legal changes giving people more protection though so hopefully things keep improving.

Yeah. Europeans love us removeds. Love us so much they kept us in the camps when they freed everyone else from the Nazis.

Baffling non sequitur.

heavyhanded, but maybe it will force lbgt creators to incorporate their themes more organically into their art, so that it isn't the primary focus.

More we need to end straight themes in media. Its a menace and disgusting breeders treating humans like pollution instead of precious things to do on purpose. Seriously fucking disgusting, but disgusting shit has a place in media, if its marked out.

what needs to end is low-effort slop designed by committee to pander to a given identity-group. Maybe china is just doing quality control

I agree. All this heterosexual media being pushed on dhildren is revolting.
