CCJ FAQ

If you're reading this, hello and welcome to the Harmonious People's Circlejerk of Chinar. We are here to answer your most common questions and help you on your way to circlejerking like a true laowei.
Who is Rainy? / Who is the girl in the watermark?
Rainy is our queen. She is also the stereotype of a naive Chinese girl. See this thread.
/u/augenfleck accurately reflects on what a true Rainy is in this thread:
"let's be clear, it's not just poor english that constitutes a rainy. it's the meandering thoughts that go nowhere and a preoccupation with the lives of laowai and how they might be ensnared into marriage that's a hallmark of rainy behavior.
rainy has just enough self awareness to know how odd her behavior is ("maybe there are some persons thought me is a crazy girl") but she rationalizes it away. fueled by all the bullshit expats have told her about life back home, she'll do anything to get that ticket to waiguo, husband in tow and mix baby on the way."
Why does everyone call each other a faggot?
Faggot is a term of endearment but also an insult on this subreddit. We do not proclaim ourselves as homophobic. On CCJ, you must be a faggot but also not be a faggot at the same time. You'll get it.
What / who is Tim Budong?
Tim Budong is a play on the Chinese phrase ting bu dong, which translates to "I don't understand". Hence, a Tim Budong is a clueless, FOB (read: fresh off the boat) foreigner. See thread here: http://www.reddit.com/r/chinacirclejerk/comments/1s1ezo/tim_budong/
What does LMBO mean?
Laughing My Butt Off. It's a meme made popular by an AMA in /r/china by a dude who proclaimed he was a KTV pimp. See thread here.
What is CCJ?
ChinaCirclejerk. This is how our community is often referred to in other subreddits. You can also alternatively use /r/ccj as a shortcut to the subreddit.
What is the CCJ WeChat?
You can access the official CCJ WeChat group by adding WeChat ID: chinacirclejerk or by scanning the QR code on the sidebar. Once approved, you will be automatically added to the CCJ group chat. Be warned - it is extremely NSFW.
As of 2/26/2014, there are currently 75/100 members in the first group chat. You may be unable to join until someone else quits or is kicked.

If there are any terms you don't see listed on here but would like to know about, please ask in the comment section. You'll know that your CCJ pinyin is up to par if you can completely understand /u/salivation's ayi story
I submitted a post. Why can't I see it?
Your post may have been caught by our spam filter. You can fix this by PMing the mods by sending a message to /r/chinacirclejerk.
What are some things that will get you banned here?
Posting personal information, pedophilia jokes (2/3 of the CCJ mods are parents) and generally shitting up the subreddit and pissing the regulars off. We are very lenient on what gets posted here; it doesn't matter if you are always circlejerking or not. So, vent about Chinar all you want.
What is your relationship with /r/china?
We've had a lot of drama in the past, but we've grown to get along with each other. Modship changed in /r/china at one point, which in part caused a lot of controversy over their new rules. /r/chinacirclejerk was initially created as a satire, but is now more of a community, whereas /r/china acts a message board and news aggregator.
Why do you hate Japan so much?
The Diaoyu Islands belong to Chinar, also The Rape of Nanjing etc.
Are you guys racist?
See thread here: http://www.reddit.com/r/chinacirclejerk/comments/1nckd9/are_we_a_bunch_of_raging_racists_or_disgruntled/
How do I use emotes / images?
To add an emote to a post, simply link to the emote by writing:
   [](#emotename)
Replace emotename with the desired emote you want to use. You need to include the parentheses and hashtag symbol to make it work.
Keep in mind that emotes will not show in your original posts, inboxes or on Reddit mobile apps.
