Wow! You seem like a free speech type, so I assumed you’re familiar with the idea that China or North Korea aren’t allowed to see what’s on the Internet or share porn.

Yes I am aware that china has a firewall.. What you said was:

The existence of the #GreatFirewall of China is an #orientalist myth

Which seems to suggest the opposite, that it indeed does not exist. But since I’ve literally seen it doing what it claims to do I can confirm it is not a myth.

@sonicbooming Eh, nobody has to like everything. manged to use a lot of trappings (fashion, casual Chinese phrases) without having any actual Asian actors and a motif that has our sympathetic protagonists basically map to the Confederates after the US Civil War. There's also some weird stuff around the pseudo-geisha character. I could see any of that feeling off. (I mean I'm a fan but I don't need anyone else to share my taste.)
