Eeeh, technically she just outed Qiu Tong to the internet and who knows how many of her own classmates, which is kinda not cool?
I mean I give a lot of latitude to kids doing stupid things, so I don't hold it against her, but we readers should definitely be aware that this is not okay. ;p
Her class was on a trip, though, weren't they? So none of them would've seen it.
They are literally surrounded by her classmates right now. The guy streaming is one of them, as is everyone in earshot. They came there in a bus full of them and are standing in a large crowd of them. Also, depending on where he streams, the stream may be archived for later viewing and people might watch it later, and if THAT happens, it's almost definitely going to get passed around. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire school knows about Sun Jing and Qiu Tong by the next day.
That doesn't make it okay, that just provides one possible out if she's lucky. Meanwhile if this gets back around to QT's parents or their teachers, one or both of them could be in for a miserable time of things. There's a fair bit of prejudice about LGBT issues in China. Like legitimate legal prejudice by the government.
I don't think that's the kind of story Tan Jiu wants to tell (In fact I think she's actively avoiding it) But in the real world, it's a serious concern, which is the point I was driving at.
yes and no.
China, it's the country where officially everything is forbidden but unofficially everything is authorized!
You would be shocked of numbers of gays and lesbians bars which there is over there.
PS:Moreover,the two daughters of the first or second fortune of china are officially lesbians.
Ah, that makes sense.
It still -doesn't matter-, though. The fact is that descrimination happens, there are people who are suffering ill consequences because their homosexuality is known to their families or school, and it isn't Sun Jing's place to out Qiu Tong without her permission. Like I said, I don't hold it against her personally, but readers should know no matter how much you adore your girlfriend or how proud you are of your relationship, you shouldn't just expose it to whoever you want on a whim. The other person deserves to be part of that decision.
It might well be that QT is okay with it, and awesome, -then- they should be loud and proud, but Sun Jing shouldn't just make that decision without her.
It's possible that previous conversation about it occurred offscreen. This series just shows bits and pieces of their lives.
We haven't seen that, though, and literally the entire point of my post is "Hey, by the way guys, don't do this to people", so I don't think it really matters. I already said I'm not judging SJ as a person/character for it either way.
Oh ok
well said sun jing! xD
