It wouldn't surprise me if some of these people would be the sort that will side with those who run shit schools because they have vested interests. We've arguably been witness to that in the past, where those who dare to call out a crap school for what it was, would face the 'this is China' bullshit, which was quickly destroyed by people not caring for such sensitivities. Silverboy was the very best at doing this.

Being in a country that loves its Marxist thought in an economic sense, is not enough for such lunatics as those that may or may not have got Silverboy banned. They wish to silence ALL dissenters via the tool that is cultural Marxism.

Fortunately most communication amongst ESL teachers nowadays does not take place upon boards such as this, which are dying a slow and painful death. Most teachers often prefer to use WeChat groups instead.

Despite WeChat's recent implementation of certain censorship rules, they would not be able to silence people so easily there; especially on regional boards where online confrontations amongst rather small communities of foreigners may not only lead to a ban from the group, but a physical altercation. When you consider that many teachers these days are working illegally, hail from criminal backgrounds in rough areas/third world warzones and aren't necessarily the good decent teacher types, you can safely assume that these guys are not going to take shit lying down.

You may find that feminist or ethnic complaints have far less power in those groups than they do online on boards such as this one, because frankly, most normal people don't give a shit, especially when it comes to the more middle-aged, white American teachers who ironically probably enjoy more freedom of speech in China than they do in America these days.
