My Dearest Sinophobes:

Your knee-jerk downvoting of anything that features any hint of Chinese content doesn’t hurt my feelings. It just makes me point an laugh, Nelson Muntz style as you demonstrate time and again just how weak American snowflake culture really is.

Hugs & Kisses, 张殿李

  • No it is absolutely not theft. It is not theft by law. (There’s a reason why we have both “theft” and “infringement” in the lawbooks: they’re different things!) It is not theft morally. (Theft removes the owner’s ability to use something. Infringement does not. Infringement is a lesser moral crime if it is a crime at all.)

    Please do not fall into the trap the IP holders like to lay by equating theft and infringement in your mind. You can have your opinions on whether infringement is bad or not (and the facts are … complicated with both sides being largely full of shit on this), but it is a matter of fact that theft and infringement are entirely different things.

    Use the right term for the offence. Don’t let IP holders’ deliberate conflation to confuse the issue get to you.





  • I’d probably go with a huxian (狐仙). I mean look at the benefits:

    1. Shape-shifting out the door. That’s always fun.
    2. Since they’re on a path to becoming an immortal (仙) there’s less of that morally grey area that the huli jing (狐狸精) bring with them. I mean sure, seducing scholars to trick them could be great fun (geeks and nerds are my type), but it’s not really conducive to immortality, is it?
    3. As a huxian I’m revered by the people who encounter me (as opposed to the huli jing who is often villainized and chased out).
    4. Through “inner alchemy” (内丹) I cultivate in myself ever increasing magic powers like weather manipulation, herbal mastery, and astral projection.
    5. In the end I become an immortal worshipped by scholars and others and can even start mentoring scholars who are cultivating themselves.

    And all that without the tediousness of tending to Inari’s whims (kitsune) or being in a predatory cycle with no form of cultivation or improvement (gumiho). I’m just a well-regarded philosopher-fox.
