Chinese emperor Ai of Han, fell in love with a minor official, a man named Dong Xian, and bestowed upon him great political power and a magnificent palace. Legend has it that one day while the two men were sleeping in the same bed, the emperor was roused from his sleep by pressing business. Dong Xian had fallen asleep across the emperorā€™s robe, but rather than awaken his peaceful lover, the Emperor cut his robe free at the sleeve. Thus ā€œthe passion of the cut sleeveā€ became a euphemism for same-sex love in China. ā€” R.G.L.


get you a dude who will fuck up his own clothing for you

NO OKAY THIS IS REALLY COOL SO SHUT UP AND LISTEN KIDS. Ancient China was super chill about homosexuality okay. Like we have gay emperors and feudal lords, lesbian princesses who were girlfriends with their serving maids, gay ass poets who wrote lots of poems about that one courtesan who played the guzheng so well.In fact homosexuality was so okay that in Shiji, which is basically the Bible of Ancient Chinese history, there is an entire section dedicated to the gay lovers of emperors. Whatā€™s the best part? All the laws and criticism about homosexuality in Ancient China were all about shit like prostitution and rape. These laws wereĀ  outlawing homosexual stuff were all very specific. For example, there were laws banning male prostitution, but no laws against homosexuality. These laws were passed to stop the spread of prostitution and laws targeting prostitution in general were pretty common in Chinese history. There were also really strict laws about male rape. Rape was punishable by death, regardless of the gender of the victim. Rape a girl, you die. Rape a guy, you die. Have sex with a minor, you die regardless of whether it was consensual. The lightest sentence you could get was slavery where you were bound to the army.Also scholars wrote essays criticising the boyfriends of emperors, saying that they distracted the emperor from work blah blah blah but THEY ALSO DID THE SAME FOR THE CONCUBINES. Thatā€™s right - the issue wasnā€™t homosexuality but rather the hormones of the emperor. They didnā€™t care about the gender of the emperorā€™s favourite lover but rather the fact that the emperor was too horny to get shit done.ā€œBut WAIT, Modern China is a hardass about homosexuality!!!! How do you explain that!ā€Yes. That. Thatā€™s because of the late Qing years where Western influences entered the country and brought their gross ass homophobic attitudes with them. And the Qing government was so anxious to seem modern and be seen as equals to their Western counterparts. So they adopted Western ways and discarded their previous attitudes about homosexuality. Hence you have Modern China.So the next time someone tries to tell you that being LGBT is wrong because it goes against traditional Chinese values, tell them to go fuck themselves with 3000 years of Chinese queerness.Ā

Executive chef at a top Thai restaurant tells Gordon Ramsay that his Pad Thai is trash [x]

Lmao ā€œwhat do you want to know from me?ā€ Fuck!

So no one thinks that Gordonā€™s beingĀ ā€œPut in his placeā€ or something, this is from Gordonā€™s show where he specifically goes to places around the world to be schooled in how they do their cuisine and un-fuck the British (Imperialist but we canā€™t admit that on TV, but he does hint STRONGLY at it in some episodes) way of cookingĀ ā€œexoticā€ dishes by learning from the people who do it best.
Thatā€™s the worldā€™s most successful chef putting himself in a position to learn from chefs around the world in world-class restaurants, grandmotherā€™s houses, in a cramped make-shift kitchen on a rocking and speeding steam train, and more. He doesnā€™t shy away from learning from people whoā€™ve never been in the remote vicinity of a culinary arts school or run aĀ ā€œprofessionalā€ kitchen.
And here heā€™s showing a chef what he thinks of as Pad Thai and if you donā€™t think one of the most talented chefs on earth didnā€™t knowĀ he was specifically setting himself up to fail to make a point to his audience, then hopefully you do now! <3Ā 

the context- he wasnt saying ā€˜heres my world famous pad tai for you to sample, a recipe i hold more dear then my own motherā€™ its closer toĀ  ā€˜here, this is how i was taught to cook pad tai in liverpool by a man named charles, how far off am i?ā€™

I also think the precise criticism is interesting. The other chef doesnā€™t say itā€™s bad. He definitely doesnā€™t say itā€™s trash. He doesnā€™t say itā€™s a bad meal. What he says is that itā€™s not pad thai. Itā€™s been labelled as a specific thing and it doesnā€™t resemble that thing to someone from that culture.
