idk why we talking about the standards for what is considered masculine for women in china (disregarding the fact plenty of more masculine chinese women exist for a moment here) butch is a western label.... im all for anyone from anywhere in the world calling themselves butch if they are....but if you use a western label on her....obviously people are going to measure her against what that western label means in the west. posting pics of a female character and calling her the butchest butch ever in english on the english speaking side of the internet and getting mad when western lesbians laugh at you...just....lol. if she's your chinese andro hearthrob that's fine, but let's not lie

yeah u can def see the goalpost changing constantly lol. "she's butch" "not really" "ok WESTERNER how dare u judge the western word by western standards, but in CHINA this is what masculinity looks like" "there are other options there too actually" "OK WHITE SAVIOR BUT--" just be real with yourself!!!! and the also crazy thing is that CINNABAR WAS RIGHT THERE IN CONTRAST, FROM THE SAME CHINESE GAME
