LEALLIV Corporation steps into the digital arena with the launch of a new media platform, “WaWian Ch.” Aiming to be a digital tapestry for diverse thoughts in a boundary-less world, “WaWian Ch.” encourages its users to celebrate and navigate life as their authentic selves.
The journey from print to pixels allowed LEALLIV to translate reader, model, and staff insights into a robust online space designed for information exchange and camaraderie among the sexual minority community. Given the escalating debates over bills like the LGBT Act, “WaWian Ch.” offers an inclusive platform where all – from interested individuals and businesses to media professionals – can tune into narratives shared by the sexual minorities themselves.
“WaWian Ch.” champions three distinct features. First, it introduces a membership system: while browsing requires no registration, commenting or contributing content demands users to register details, including username, age, place of residence, sexuality, gender at birth, and character type. This system curtails potential negativity, ensuring a peaceful digital haven.
Second, “WaWian Ch.” aspires to be a radiant, engaging, and trendy community. Recognizing that many LGBTQ+ individuals harbor strong interests in fashion and makeup, the platform proactively promotes beauty trend information. Through a stylish dissemination of genderless culture, it cultivates a positive atmosphere for personal exploration and collective enjoyment.
Third, it empowers users to become content creators. Registered members with writing privileges can publish articles within the “WaWian Ch.” framework, maintaining quality and safety as every piece undergoes editorial scrutiny. This initiative enables the sexual minority community to voice their genderless narratives periodically on a specialized media channel.
The platform’s offerings span from news distribution on a spectrum of topics involving LGBTQ+ and genderless themes to a web magazine featuring user-created content. It also houses a discussion board for open conversations and offers a feature to post gender-free outfits – an avenue often restrained on other social media. The hashtag function further enhances user engagement, fostering a vibrant digital community where unity, comfort, and authenticity thrive.
