Anti-Marriage Post Breaks Up-Vote Record on Rednote - Impress Polly - Jan 16 2026

Something exciting happened this last week over on the Chinese social media: a woman's hilarious joke about conditions for marriage on Rednote broke the country's social media post up-vote record. She, of course, was banned, along with with her screen name itself and her post deleted everywhere, along with the supportive ones participating in the gag because it is considered unacceptable hate speech in China to feminist under Xi Jinpig's "culture of marriage and childbearing". QuiUnQuenched shared about it with us over on the 4B subreddit. Chex out the news!  :popcorn:

Quote:The Great "Social Experiment" that got nuked and shadowbanned in 2 days

Women who don't speak Chinese should also know about the greatest joke of Chinese social media: they nuked a user and shadowbanned almost every screenshot collection on multiple platforms of that user's viral post with record-breaking 2 million likes, which may or may not accidentally revealed the core of marriage to other women.

A female user of the Chinese social media Rednote(Xiao Hong Shu) posted something 2 days ago, asking others how she could make her "boyfriend" marry into her family (meaning their future kids take her name rather than his; the man himself wouldn't change his name), with a dating app style short description of this "boyfriend", and saying they both are of "very similar backgrounds in every aspect". Men flooded the comment section saying she was daydreaming, claiming their "male ego" and "pride" are priceless, so for some woman to have her "boyfriend" marry in and give up his "lineage", she would have to provide him with about twenty million dollars, luxury cars and mansions, or maybe she happened to be the daughter of their provincial governor and will pave the way for his future political life. When other female users refuted those obviously ridiculous conditions of the men, they insisted that it's different for men and women to marry into someone else's family, and the men suffer oh-so-much on their precious ego that they would deserve everything in the world to compensate them.

The OP then edited the post saying that the "boyfriend" whose backgrounds were so similar to her own was actually herself but imaginatively born in the other sex, and mockingly said she never knew that men had that much integrity, would give up on easy money when they could earn so much by simply marrying into women's families. She also replied a men saying that she didn't understand why there would be women who would marry into some men's family without any materialistic compensation. Those men started to delete their comments and change usernames when women started keeping screenshots and screen recordings of the post, and those along with the OP went viral on almost every Chinese platform. Some women started to realize the institution of marriage can never be nice and equal to the two sexes: the sex who have the ability to reproduce are the sex disparaged and suppressed, the sex get driven out of their families to sell out their bodies for a roof to sleep under, and finally their names, identities and existence erased in this process, while the sex who aren't blessed with the power of reproduction receive all the resources of their families, get to keep their names and steal away the reproductive labor of others.

And it ends here. A couple of hours ago, every key word and hashtag related to that post was removed after 2 days of on-and-off shadowbanning of the OP. The OP user's account nuked after men's report barrage. Rednote, as well as every other Chinese social media platform would give up on their money maker only to make way for the patriarchy after the post received 2 million likes, highest ever record of the already nationwide popular app. Now only a few posts apparently written by men remained, preaching apparently unfair "equal" marriages, pretending they're not the beneficiaries of the long-standing institution.

Update: OP's new account also got nuked. Some users of Rednote tried to change their usernames into the now nuked OP's original one, but to no avail: they found out that even her original username is now censored.

Another update: I'm quite curious now if there has been any public discussion like this in other countries, as this really is a "first" in our culture. Or are there any Tiktok/Instagram influencers willing to carry out this "experiment" in their culture?

At a time when it feels like the women's movement has been placed on the back foot everywhere of late, it refreshed me to read this exciting story.  :meowdorable: Our Chinese radical sisters have broken through to the cultural mainstream enough that they have to be silenced!
