: "Your searingly concise insults have cut me to the bone. I am utterly devastated by them. lol"

This is your attempt at biting sarcasm, I presume? I was under the impression that sarcasm requires wit, but clearly you don't.

As for where I live, I was going to include it in my profile, but I wasn't sure that other MDLers would find the location of "rent-free in etoks21's head" on Google Maps.

Last but not least, I'm no fan of Trump or his MAGA supporters. They're whining losers just like the WOKE left. Basically, both extremist sides of the same coin trying to (literally & figuratively) cancel each other & each other's cultures out. Talk about stirring up controversies over "dumb sh1t."

ZAIJIAN!

I am an American citizen who's lived in China & studied Chinese language, history, & culture.

When we were discussing the MDL Kdrama bias over Cdrama, it didn't occur to you that I was a China troll. Only when the discussion got political (which I didn't start) do you accuse me of being "people from China roaming the internet."

What does that even mean? People from every other country posting online aren't roaming the internet? Only China?

Yes, exactly. Countries can be wrong in DIFFERENT WAYS, which is the very definition of false equivalency.

They're false equivalences because they all fall well short of "atrocities," let alone war crimes.

To equate border & diplomatic disputes or espionage with wartime atrocities is intellectually dishonest, not to mention intellectually immature.

What war crimes is China still commiting against other countries?

False equivalence.

The Japanese has yet to own up to its 20th century war crimes & continue to add insult to injury by honoring the shrines of the war criminals. Imagine if German poltical leaders were still paying respect to monuments of the Third Reich.

There is literally no modern equivalent situation to the Japanese lack of accountability for their war crimes.

Why else would South Korea still demand genuine apology & accountability from Japan, despite their close geopolitical alliance? Other Asian countries would do the same if only they had the geopolitical wherewithal.

Most international organizations (such as the United Nations) & countries (including the United States) recognize the "One China Policy."

Not anyone's fault that your country's weak.

Maybe you can ask your big American brothers for help because we see how well that strategy turned out for South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Phillipines, India, etc.

Not crying as much as the South Koreans getting deported by their American "friends."

As the saying goes: "with friends like that, who needs enemies."

When it comes to "whining losers," no one holds a candle to woke Americans, with whom you've had more than sufficient personal experience, no doubt.

Research Rape of Nanking, for starters.

It's cute that you think anyone cares about your likes and dislikes.

Yes, the show is "frictional" (it's literally causing friction), Einstein!

Oh, you mean the one from the troll?

Low EQ & IQ.

Unfortunately, because of that, she/he/they/it lacks the self-awareness & intellectual capacity to answer your question.

How will Cheng Yi ever sleep at night knowing that the famous drama critic Bekah4315 thinks he "still can't act his way out of a paper bag?"

Speaking of "redemption," just the other day, I was rewatching some scenes from Love and Redemption. I thought CY could act his way of a paper bag. Heck, I thought he could act. PERIOD. But then again, unlike you, I'm no VIP in the entertainment industry, so what do I know?

They seem to be two separate & distinct criticisms, fair or unfair.
