it’s a massive fucking lie anyway; anyone who’s been to china can tell you they have winnie the pooh merch in every fuckin’ shop. winnie the pooh is very popular there.
I lived in china for 4 years and Winnie has Def never been outlawed. Chinese censorship is much more sophisticated than “hey, that’s illegal.” There’s not a list of pictures or memes or phrases that if you’re caught with you’ll get a visit from the police. No no no. There are hundreds of thousands of people monitoring social media for the latest “subversive” trends. When a new trend develops that content is blacklisted and just not allowed to be spread. You’ll send your friend a picture and it never shows up on their phone. There’s no indication on your end that it didn’t send or they didn’t get it. You can have this content on your phone, the CCP doesn’t care. They care about it spreading. And you’ll never get in trouble for trying to spread it because the system doesn’t allow it to spread.
That’s actually kinda cool in a techno dyatopian kinda way.
I was going to say horrifying.
Makes sense, ones an inoffensive cartoon, the others a cunt who should die.
Reddit admins would have permabanned for this comment though their masters are doing same comments inflicting violence but IRL. Love lemmy for free speech
