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.
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.
Tell me you just see a heavily blurred picture on your government computer without telling me you just see a heavily blurred picture on your government computer
Liberals accidentally outing themselves as racist is always ridiculous to me. People think XI JINGPANG looks like Winnie the Pooh. Your implication that EVERY Chinese person does, and the underlying implication you’ve made that ALL Chinese people look the same is hilariously offensive. You should maybe do some self reflection here mate.
Nah, the insistence that anything you don’t like is racist is a very intensely liberal quality to have, as is the accidentally bumbling it so hard that YOU end up behaving in a racist way.
What do you want me to show you exactly? You’re the one implying that all Chinese people look enough like Winnie the Pooh that to depict xi jingpang as such is racist. You want me to… give you an example of your point?
I saw that after asking. So why would putting a character in a group of depictions fit this piece of art? It could make sense if Trump was a Cheeto, etc, but here it seems like an attempt to depict Xi as more cartoonish or outlandish than these western leaders. Weird. Almost like there’s still a goal to depict him as less human. Huh.
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?
His face and body resemble Pooh.
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.
Any evidence for that claim?
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.
This doesn’t make any sense.

Yeah no, this is clear bait. Have a good day.
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?
They’re a .ml Tankie, the answer to that is almost always “yes” lol
You’re getting JAQed
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
Yeah Obama is orange with black stripes which is, like, totally racist, man.
Get over it
Tell me you just see a heavily blurred picture on your government computer without telling me you just see a heavily blurred picture on your government computer
It’s not blurred, the screen on the pentagons bidet is just really small.
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!”
This is a fantastic opportunity for learning!
Learning about dog whistles?
Do they work for bears too?
Him looking vaguely like Winnie the Pooh, and more being mad about it.
Big mad*
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.
You are in that stage of development… You will grow out of it
I see you’ve left your brain in some bin, and it’s definitely rotting.
Go on, dear…
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?

Tankies aren’t liberals, they’re tankies and they are authoritarian, which they also definitely outed themselves as lmao

I just compared, I don’t see it. Do you have a good example?

Damn you’re desperate.
Wow, you’re delusional.
It’s literally just the photo you replied to above. It’s not that deep.

Weird, almost like he oversaw atrocities that makes people doubtful of his humanity or something…
Notice how the characters are whites.
