Where's Winnie the Pooh saying "Taiwan and Hong Kong are China?"
.ml Tankie: "ThATs RaCiSt even though it's not about Chinese people as a whole but Xi specifically and it started in China on Weibo by Chinese users before it got
censoredI mean totally not censored BUT BUT ITS STILL RACIST"
Not to leave putin out, I just don't know any unfavourable comparisons.
there's no universe in which a muskrat is a unfavorable comparison to that unfuckable troglodyte.
but what about a muskrat with a hitler stash :D
Just paint him like the gay rainbow rendition that's outlawed in Russia.
Putin should be a poutine but with (gasp) mozzarella shreds instead of the proper cheese curds.
Or a Crab, at least that's how he's known in Russia after he famously said that throughout his entire presidency he worked like slave (как раб) on a galley, which sounds exactly like crab (как краб)
This is the kind of 2000s-era Internet silly gif on phpBB that we need more of.
(But not phpBB, let's leave that part alone.)
As a canadian this hurts
Mr Krabs is a nickname I've heard for Putin
Rumor has it that Putin banned posting the rainbow clown image. I'd use that one.
Putin on a Ritz? I guess that's not unfavorable tho... Ritz are delicious.
plunge your country into war and ruin by invading a neighbor who's population is largely indistinguishable from you.
America couldn't stomach an occupation of a place on the other side of the world where the people were so foreign they might as well have been aliens. how will they stomach violence in the streets? whether from Insurgents from Canada, or their own people who rightfully decided to revolt against a terrorist regime.
Its hard to tell if this is blowhard theatre, or an actual threat. but make no mistake, attacking Canada means Civil War in America. its a red line.
I wouldn't hold my hopes up. America is slipping into Autotitauanism and nobody's sees that as a reason to rise arms about it.
Notice how none of the other characters are racist depictions.
Referring to him as "Winnie the Pooh" has never had anything to do with race, hence why no one uses it to refer to any other Chinese person.
Then what does it actually have to do with?
A picture of him and Obama that resembles of a scene of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger from 2013.
They are in the same gait positions… is there more to it than that?
The only thing more to it is that Xi tried to have it scrubbed and censored, so now it's also used to mock the dude for being a tyrannical asshat. Hittin' that Streisand Effect.
Xi tried to have it scrubbed and censored
Any evidence for that claim?
There wouldn't have been if they didn't make such a big deal about it. It would have been a funny picture we all forgot about by now.
To you not see the tall/thin and shorter/rounder part? Are you being deliberately obtuse?
Are you being deliberately obtuse?
They're a .ml Tankie, the answer to that is almost always "yes" lol
A little bit of research indicates that this art was created for the meme, not the other way around.
That's correct. So by your logic, Tigger is a racist depiction of black people.
I see we have a genius over here
The fact that Xi Streisand-ed it hell and back.
The same way calling Bibi a murderer isn't antisemitic calling Xi Winnie is not racist.
Government leaders are not a protected class/race, sorry.

if anything, I'd say they deserve MORE scrutiny.
Xi Streisand-ed it hell and back
This doesn't make any sense.
The same way calling Bibi a murderer isn’t antisemitic
I've heard from quite a few ranking Democrats that calling Bibi a murder is antisemitic.
Government leaders are not a protected class/race, sorry.
Why do westerners insist in finding excuses to inject racist caricatures into a discussion about civil rights? I simply don't understand why shouting "Look at Netanyahu, the greedy hook-nosed jew holding a bag of gold!" benefits anyone in any way. It just seems like 4chan levels of racism-for-racism's-sake.
Are all liberals this desperate to spew slurs or is it just the terminally online ones?
You don't know the Streisand effect? Look it up. The meme started as a joke on a Chinese forum and spread on its own, then Xi started forbidding its use, which riled people up popularizing the meme even more. It's a clear case of the Streisand effect.
Don't care what some Democrats do. I'm not American and my statement stands.
It's not racist tho??? The Bibi reference you used explicitly calls him a Jew and uses a known Jew caricature, it's completely different from a meme originating in China based on the low resblance both in posture and figure, nothing to do with skin colour.
Yeah no, this is clear bait. Have a good day.
I'm sorry you are unwell.
Get over it
His face and body resemble Pooh.
Chinese people started calling Xi Winnie the Pooh on the internet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China
“Omg, Wikipedia is racist NATO propaganda!”
"Also totally owned by the CIA!"
Him looking vaguely like Winnie the Pooh, and more being mad about it.
Notice how you're the only one bringing up racism
Racists don't bring up their own racism as racism, they try to paint it as other things.
Mate, it's not an insult based on race, it's an insult based on merit. Take the L and admit that you had a bad take. It's not the end of the world.
Hopping on old accounts to dog pile yourself I see :)
Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?
Notice how the characters are whites.
Whataboutism
But anyway, the official stance of even the US government has for decades been that Taiwan is part of China
