oversensitive

I get a feeling there’s a bit of projection going on here

They literally think Winnie the Pooh is banned even though he’s probably one of the most popular cartoon characters over there.

Also how the fuck is that even an insult? Pooh is like one of the most humble cartoon characters.

It was a photo of Obama and Xi walking together, and a Weibo user posted a graphic of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger directly next to it. It was a hilarious match, with lanky Obama and rotund Xi. See for yourself: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DE680g_XsAAaplZ.jpg

It’s lese-majeste, the crime of mocking the ruler. Everyone who forwarded it was suspended or banned.

How did the “Winnie The Pooh is banned” canard get started anyway?

AFAIK, it started as overzealous Chinese internet censors taking down posts/memes made by Chinese netizens comparing Xi to Pooh. Western media eventually picked up the story and then due to sinophobia, propaganda and a bit of misunderstanding, redditors wound up turning the story into the Chinese government banning Pooh because Xi was personally offended or something like that.

you know my favorite part about reddit is that its users pride themselves for being these smart and enlightened wise guys with cool jobs and funny memes and on the other hand it’s just a huge porn aggregator

so whatever’s going on in their heads is interesting at least
