Standards for Friendship (Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence)

WARNING

Recently expanded my social circle, so I took some time to draft the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence as a long-term standard for friendships.

1. I am, by general and universal standards, a human male—a staunch non-transgender individual and heterosexual, non-vegetarian, and not an extreme environmentalist. I am an atheist, a firm communist, and a patriot.
   I fully understand and respect minority groups, including ethnic minorities and the LGBTQ+ community.

2. I am a long-time user of platforms like Bilibili, AcFun, Zhihu, Quora, Tieba, Xiao Hei He, NGA, A Island, Ruisi, Twitter, Facebook, Pixiv, and various other communities and forums. I am well-versed in internet memes, clapbacks, sharp critiques, and insider jargon. I have the emotional intelligence and discernment to distinguish sincerity from sarcasm and the resilience to handle all forms of insults.
   That said, I pledge not to be the first to use offensive language and to maintain full respect for individuals as “people.” In short, I neither wish to insult others nor fear being insulted.

3. I have a superficial understanding of:

   • Pan-ACGN culture (anime, animated films, 2D online games, Touhou Project, galgames, ACG music, illustrations, manga, etc.),
   • Music (classical, traditional Chinese, instrumental, folk, Western, Japanese, etc.),
   • Literature (sci-fi novels, essays, select “classic” novels, ancient Chinese poetry and prose, modern Chinese poetry, and some philosophical and social science works).
     I have no interest in short videos, pop culture, trending national games, fan circles, domestic entertainment, or topics related to attractive celebrities, though I respect these fully. Please refrain from excessively recommending such content to me.

4. Under normal circumstances, my posting frequency on QQ Space and WeChat Moments does not exceed one post per day. If this bothers you, feel free to mute me—if you don’t know how, contact me for assistance.
   If you prefer long-form content, follow my personal blog: https://guzhengsvt.cn/

5. General questions and psychological consultations are free of charge, though I don’t guarantee fixed response times. For consultations you wish to archive, please email me (lvbowen040427@163.com).
   I promise strict confidentiality of personal privacy and strive to provide fair, comprehensive advice and evaluations—though I cannot guarantee optimal outcomes. Consequences are at your own discretion.

6. Final interpretation rights belong to me.
