My good friends from #ChaoyangTrap have another great piece of communal cultural commentary on China's digital society, out today. This time on #Chinese online #basketball #subcultures and the #toxicmasculinity within one of the big ones, Hupu.

I actually use Chaoyang Trap for #teaching and #lecturing, particularly my week on subcultures in #China. They have an amazing set of articles on #geekdoms, subcultures, and trends in China #ChinaStudies

Screen shot of a Tweet by the news letter Chaoyang Trap, the text says "this is the penultimate episode of Chaoyang Trap, on the basketball fandom app that "LARPs as a boys college dorm." And includes an illustration of a high school classroom with boys browsing Hupu.
