    You'd think that the Falun Gong would be more...above reproach if they want more people to feel like the Chinese government is wrongly persecuting them and commiting a genocide against them. Yet I'm somehow not surprised by this at all.

      Even though religious persecution in China is a real issue, the Falun Gong are real pieces of shit and don't get enough scrutiny here in the west.

      I've been surprised to see that a few queer businesses have Shen Yun posters in their windows. They probably think that they're supporting AAPI culture and all, but they seem unaware that FG's stance on homosexuality is extremely homophobic.

        They're basically China's Scientology. Loony cult that gets up to some crazy, despicable things and then people out of the loop go "oh no, religious freedom." (See also: the Moonies.)

        espousing anti-evolutionary views, opposition to homosexuality and feminism, and rejection of modern medicine, among other views described as "ultra-conservative".

        Also, it's funny that we have all these conspiracy theories about the Chinese government spreading misinformation to influence elections or spread COVID or whatever, when the Falun Gong, which is staunchly opposed to the ruling party, is going around running Epoch Times:

        The Falun Gong also operates the Epoch Media Group, which is known for its subsidiaries, New Tang Dynasty Television and The Epoch Times newspaper. The latter has been broadly noted as a politically far-right[38] media entity, and it has received significant attention in the United States for promoting conspiracy theories, such as QAnon and anti-vaccine misinformation, and producing advertisements for former U.S. President Donald Trump.

        Bingo. Thank you and I'm super glad more people are aware of FG. They're big time loony toons and honestly if they were suddenly in power we wouldn't see any difference in the suffering of the Chinese and other ethnicities in China. They're one abusive pimp trying to lure away prostitutes from another abusive pimp.

        Which is not to say that for many people without any other ways to speak up they're totally 100% awful.......just.....they're not great.
