    Yes you should. This instance should not have been federated at all and I regret having voted in favor. You’re a bunch of racist fucks.

      Racist because of one parody image of Xi the Pooh that was clearly not even aimed at Asians in general? Jesus you guys are a bunch of snowflakes. And that’s coming from an Asian/Taiwanese myself. We don’t need your self imposed superiority to feel sorry for us. We know what’s racist and what’s not. Thank you.

          You can depict the current leading party in Taiwan as maggots and I could also tell you it’s fine. In fact, people here already do. The CCP just so happens to be that sensitive about a fucking yellow cartoon bear. Hilarious I know. If they someday be also sensitive about a pink alien and we make fun of it, are you going to tell me it’s racist against aliens?

            Lol stupid black people upset about wide lipstick. It’s just fucking lipstick and face paint. Hilarious I know.

            I just came up with this rhetorical strategy of flattening the context of an offensive act so as to present it as being non offensive! I don’t know where I got the idea but I sure do feel like I could win an online debate with it.

              FYI, that meme originated from Chinese social media. If that meme was supposed to be racist, you’re essentially saying that Asian people somehow offends other Asians about their skin color being yellow, despite themselves being the same ethnicity.

              You see the problem here?

          From what I see, Hexbears feeling the need to judge others for matters that aren’t about themselves, and also don’t bother to listen to the people who they think are affected, are the ones who drank the coolaid.

            We’re not talking coolaid here. We’re talking that the white man is never going to respect anyone who sells out. “I’m one of the cool ones” is the companion piece to a white guy’s “I have a black friend”.

            It may feel cool to shit on mainlanders and call President Xi ‘Xinnie the Pooh’, but all that slinging that shit around online really does is validate the very real and very racist swathes of the West who don’t discern a difference between people in Asia, or think that what’s acceptable to apply to a prominent Asian figure is acceptable to apply to all Asians.

            Case in point is Uncle Roger, who’s a Malaysian Chinese, but makes the same kind of XJP jokes that you see on Reddit. Didn’t stop him from getting smacked in the face by a racist dog on the streets of London.

              I also see US political comics depicting prominent figures of the US as animals, devils, etc. It’s a thing they do. Xi the Pooh isn’t something new they came up with, so I think that the picture in question has little to do with deep running racism.

              What Uncle Roger went through is sad, but whether it’s because of COVID or the picture, they’re all just excuses imo. Take one out, and they’ll find another as their excuse.
