edit: the reason i made the post was your title “why would the west do this,” and it’s implication that the west isn’t. the west does this shit. china does this shit. comparing oppression is a race to the bottom. being anti-fascist is universal.

The title wasn’t meant that the West doesn’t have problems with homophobia, the title was mocking the tendency of certain political groups to blame the actions of foreign actors on the West. Such as “The West made Russia invade Ukraine” or “Other countries are only homophobic as a response to Western oppression”
