In a repressive environment, queer influencers leverage creativity and coded language to navigate censorship, providing essential support to the LGBTQ+ community amidst tightening government control.
Shi Zhujiao, an LGBTQ+ influencer, recounted her fears of being banned due to vague government restrictions, stating, "No one knows where the line actually is." This unpredictability makes it challenging to balance advocacy and safety.
The serious atmosphere is palpable among queer influencers who must tread lightly, where even subtle online interactions can attract the scrutiny of censors, putting their communities at risk.
As President Xi Jinping's government imposes stricter regulations on queer representation and awareness, the digital platforms once seen as safe havens now face severe oversight, complicating efforts to support the LGBTQ+ community.
