I mean, an app that's named after the Little Red Book and which has strict moderation rules (no "Winnie the Pooh" refs, sorry) has comments that claim all the bad things you've heard about China are just American propaganda. What a surprise.
I see a lot of folks going "wow, stupid Americans really believed social credit scores were real", and meanwhile I see a detailed Wikipedia article describing the implementation of the Social Credit System by China's Central Government.
Can someone cite me a source more credible than random internet comments? Otherwise, I'ma just take this as propaganda itself.
Dummy, those jokes started in China. It's not about the color of the character, either. Way to miss the entire joke.
fuck off racist shitbag
You're the one who wrongly assumed it was about race, not me.
wasnt the whole thing literally started by chinese people? were all those weibo users cia assets or people with internalized racism?
And are you Chinese?
I'm happy you've got a Chinese friend that tells you it's okay to be racist.
The fact that you're unwilling to acknowledge the fact that this redditor shibboleth got popular amongst a bunch of white people has nothing to do with them finding yet another socially acceptable way to be racist is telling a lot we already knew about you.
If a reactionary org of black people (I dunno of one but I'm sure there's some church or something) had satirically depicted Obama as curious George, do you think you could get away with calling him a monkey without being (rightfully) called a racist?
Black people started using the n word among themselves casually, doesn't mean other people can just copy it and shield themselves from accusations of racism by saying Black people were doing it first.
so comparing xi to pooh is the same as calling a black person the n word? i wonder if chinese or asian people hold the same opinion
This is your brain on microplastics
Now you're just being obtuse. It's really sad you think what you're doing isn't obvious. For the onlookers: This is what happens when you don't get mental and social stimulus.
Its obvious what you are doing too. For the onlookers: This is what happens to your brain on tankie propaganda.
Yeah I should hope what I'm doing is obvious, I'm being honest and upfront about it. You should try it some time.
Hey please point out the propaganda I've been hit by. Educate me please, I love to be wrong. Cite your sources.
This tactic didn't work in kindergarten either. Try to move on and grow up
go back to reddit you deplorable shitbag
i'm not here to judge how chinese people use memes. i'm here to tell you, a racist, to eat shit
You're the only one talking about race, here, making you the racist.
talking about race doesn't make someone a racist. comparing chinese people to yellow-skinned cartoon animals does.
New tagline dropped @CARCOSA@hexbear.net
You're fucking smearing a chinese person as yellow you shitbag
Wasn't "Winnie the Pooh" chinese nickname to call Xi to circumvent the censorship? And he was apparently unhappy about it to the point where censors started banning that too? I think there was a Jon Oliver video about it? Or the Daily Show?
If that's true than calling it racist is... ignorant?
You’re deeply unserious if you’re actually bringing up Jon Stewart and John Oliver.
Since you’re such a big fan, maybe you can tell me when Stewart is gonna apologize for that horrible transphobic joke he did about 20 years ago?
Dutch guy getting beat up after doing blackface: "Waah! It's a important cultural practice! You don't understand, it has nothing to do with race, Dutch people just have folklore stories about dark skinned fantasy creatures coming and stealing our stuff! You're the ones making it about race!"
