    “Wh-what do you mean people are shitty to us when we’re shitty to them?? This is [insert irrelevant accusation of bigotry here]! Critical support for Comrade Xi’s Concentration Camps!”

    People who are so eager to dish it often can’t take it. Even in milder forms than the 4chan-esque trolling Hexbears use, like the horrible personal attack that is [checks notes] disputing that concentration camps are good.

        My God, if only we had taken our mockery of Comrade Xi from someone unproblematic, like Chinese nationals!

          I read 20 mins ago someone from hexbear complaining that calling Xi Winnie is racist because Winnie is yellow and Xi Chinese. Meanwhile, the meme was born in china, from chinese people. The west just adopted the icon that China’s govenment banned in china, after its own citizens popularized it.

          SOOOoo it must be racist yeah /s
