    I mean, if y’all are okay with it but that would totally get someone arrested in China. Probably beheaded. That’s a dirty image.

      Weird orientalist wishcasting. Kind of disgusting.

        I’ll just download this image and repost it in a month to one of those “meanwhile on the grad” communities with no title and see what happens.

        I expect a dogpile of one human and 50 Lemmy accounts. Woof.

        Edit: I can’t even bring myself to download this to my phone.

          What are you actually saying? Explain directly why you think this would get somebody beheaded, because right now it just seems like nonsense racism on your part and I’d like you to be able to defend yourself.

            I know better than to elaborate at this point. I’ll screenshot this, post it later and make a fun comparison chart pointing out hypocrisy in online communities. 🤪

            No worries, maybe I’ll be pleasantly wrong and the world is a nice place. 🙃

              How is a picture of Winnie the Pooh hypocricy? Why would posting a picture of Winnie the Pooh get someone beheaded in China? At this point it just appears to be naked racism on your part, assuming MLs hate Winnie the Pooh itself and not the racist caticaturizing of Xi Jinping as a yellow bear, combined with the fact that China censors racist caricatures of Xi Jinping while selling tons of Winnie the Pooh merch, and then exaggerating to the point that this censorship results in arrests and even beheading.

              Cut the bullshit, please. Do you really think Winnie the Pooh is banned in China? Do you really think the punishment for posting censorable content (which this is not as it isn’t a racist caricature of Xi Jinping but a comic featuring Winnie the Pooh himself) is arresting them, or even execution?

                Hey, if you don’t see a problem, then clearly it’s not a problem. And me pointing at something and saying “this might not be cool” doesn’t make me a racist on any planet. Nice try. 🚫
