Are you blocked by China?


Great Firewall of China is a site that allows you to find out if your own or any other is blocked by the Chinese government. I’ve had some surprises today, among them the fact that Khlari is blocked. Feisty goths are a big threat to Communism.

Howard is also banned, but then, we homos are known for our desire to undermine totalitarian regimes and subvert the natural order of oppressive bullying hierarchies.

I couldn’t test The Spicy Cauldron when I checked in. No idea why.

A Feminist Lost in the Patriarchy is okay, strangely enough. The Chinese can read her site, no problem. I would have thought feminists would be considered at least as dangerous as goths and queers. But no. Well, not this one!

MsDemmie is blocked. I think she won’t be surprised and, like many, will likely see it as a sign she’s doing something right.

Beaut1ful’s My Place is also blocked.

Not all wordpress.com blogs are blocked but a majority of those I link to seem to be. Then they are also pagan, or gay, or in some other way out of the ordinary, and ‘unsafe’. My links page is a list, not entirely but to a fair degree, of rebellious and left-of-centre types.
