I worry that I'm going to imply a whole thing, but holding it back is one of the types of liberalism. It's funny to have China's revision of Marxism be the arbiter for whether people being revisionist.

I also think the humor that is possible for reporting people for enjoying subjectively bad taste entertainment is limitless

Off topic, but What’s the point of the word revisionist? I understand it has a specific meaning, but isn’t the point of Marxism that it is a living science which is revised and updated to a country’s material conditions?
