Lunar New Year is just generational trauma and toxicity hidden behind a veil of false unity and false happiness

  Tradition is just being bullied by dead people. See also Thanksgiving and Christmas.

  So why not tell us some stories? That flag is Taiwan right?

  Is it true that Street Fighter was made illegal by Mayor Chen Shui Bian around 1994 ?

  Why?

    Flag is ROC technically, but westerners all just call it “Taiwan Flag” nowadays. That flag used to be the flag of actual Mainland China before 1949, that’s when the CCP took over.

    I’m actually from mainland China, currenly overseas residing in the US. Flying the 5-star red flag (PRC flag) makes me look like a CCP shill, flying the star-spangled banner (US Flag) makes me look like a right-winger, so the ROC flag is the only one I feel comfortable using as a flag, the closest I can identify with.

    I have a story of when I “ran away” from home when I was 6 year old due to sibling violence… I mean honestly you can just search through my profile and find a lot of stuff.

    Trauma dumping on the internet feels better than therapy honestly lol
