One of the few places on the English language side of the internet where racial abuse against not sufficiently self hating Chinese people isn't normalised.
I have seen very little xenophobia here on ml, if any. Sometimes I wander off to All, and it comes kind of crashing down how racist and bigoted the other places are. Yeah, this place is really well moderated.
Certain kinds of racism and bigotry are unfortunately highly normalised across much of the English language internet. It was nice to find a safe haven from it even if some still get through the gaps every now and then.
tends to be that way when a lot of us aren't western
