day 100 or so of chinamaxxing. learning about all the regional stereotypes. my report:

• people who live in shanghai are apparently very materialistic and superficial in a tacky way

• guangdong people dress unpretentiously and eat literally anything (including people from fujian)

• everyone in chengdu is gay

[u/trgk_ → u/remarkable_ores]

everyone in chengdu is gay

coincidentally also the aerospace capital of china

[u/No_Status_6905 → u/remarkable_ores]

wtf i love chengdu now

[u/remarkable_ores → u/No_Status_6905]

crazy how consistent this stereotype is

every single chinese person i asked doesn't seem to think it's a joke, they're just like "oh yeah, everyone in chengdu is gay. everyone knows this"

[u/remarkable_ores → u/Crazybrayden]

but random zoomers on 小红书 have been saying the same thing

guangdong people dress unpretentiously and eat literally anything (including people from fujian)

Wait, it's a common stereotype that guangdong people eat people from fujitan?!

[u/remarkable_ores → u/Tapkomet]

yeah, here's a meme someone sent me to illustrate the point

(left says 'fujian person', right one says 'guangdong person', and i *think* the bottom bit says "swallowed whole")
