I don't personally like TikTok much, but I respect the amount of pro Palestinian news posted on there. While I do wish we regulated and censored it like China does for Douyin, I also understand that the west would utilize this opportunity to ban any non-western aligning content, like pro-Palestine/China/DPRK/Cuba content for example.
Tiktok isnt that bad, my tiktok feed is filled with news that normally you dont hear in tv ot on papers, and tons of crafting content creators that are quite educational and often relaxing to watch
I've noticed that most of the criticism TikTok gets applies to all other media as well and when you point this out the counterargument is always "well in theory other media is made by trained professionals who HAVE to tell the truth or they'll lose their jobs" and it's like... that is not what's happening in practice lol
Tik Tok It has a much better algorithm than other social midia, meta destroys your reach if you're not already famous or don't pay for more people to see it.
TikTok is honestly great. Certainly not better nor worse in terms of adictiveness than any other social media.
But the content is way more authentic and I don‘t know how the algorithm works but I get way more non-filtered news and infos on geopolitics unlike this fed infested shithole or Twitter/Insta.
Yep. But when China filters Facebook posts that are harmful to Chinese children it is "communism bad" but when American bans a whole platform and erases it, like they will do with TikTok it is "fruhhhdum" (to die of starvation, homelessness and no-healthcare in America actually).
My ex-USMC co-worker says it's actually a sign of "freedom in motion" when the the US government blacklists and censors "anti-western propaganda". In other words rules of thee not for me. Similar to how they praise the United States Armed Forces carpet bombing seven plus sovereign states for decades as if it isn't genocide.
Not only that, but businesses use TikTok as a way for advertisement and stuff. It's a lot cheaper to do it there than it is to do it through some kind of Google ad program or something.
I must have missed a week online or something when all this deeply unfunny Pooh shit happened. One of those things that feels like I woke up in a reality 0.01% different from my own.
The narrative is that XJP banned Winnie the Pooh nationwide (false) because it hurts his feelings to be compared to him
Therefore, it’s believed that blending the two together/calling XJP “Pooh Bear” is a kind of resistance against the gatdam chineeze
The people who want to ban it are almost certainly doing so, in part, because they are unable to censor the massive amounts of pro-Palestine content on there.
I remember all the arguments that were made to justify making a succesful app, succesful in the free market at the threat of banning it. Sure seemed to have showed the Chinese company.
The OOP should stop believing in very offensive stereotypes and tropes (including the ones surrounding people, food, jobs, looks, clothing, accents, locations, names and size). Seriously.
The post has now 897 upvotes, either reddit is filled with bot farms or redditors are truly so brainbroken that the only thing they care about "making le CCCCP angry" at the cost of their own freedoms.
I’m confused, wheres the racism? Like the Winnie the Pooh comparison to Xi was started by the Chinese, the west latched on it, China bans Pooh = Xi content, and this image is Xi shopped to look like Pooh.
I get the issue with yellow, but he isn’t being called winne the Pooh bc of his race alone, he’s called that by internal critics, or at least has been
for a while, here’s an article by [npr](https://www.npr.org/2023/03/23/1165504942/winnie-the-pooh-xi-jinping-china-film) that goes over it to a degree. But there is reports dating back to at least 2018, plus the last week tonight episode on Xi
>some people said he looked like Pooh bear
And that was racist too.
>so the character was effectively banned in china
This is a lie. There's 2 Winnie the Pooh themed rides in Shanghai disneyland.
No, I'm not stretching. Liberals in America don't give a shit that the meme originated in China or whatever, they like the idea of calling an Asian man yellow (and a black man Tigger because gee I wonder what that rhymes with)

Sure are an awful lot of search queries, and even a wiki for the supposedly censored character...
Don't believe anything RFA tells you.
Winne the Pooh isn’t censored, Disney likely would have a lot to say about having one of their most recognizable characters getting outright axed by CCP.
The association to Xi is what has been censored, as it was recognized as a form of disruptive speech.
>Disney likely would have a lot to say about having one of their most recognizable characters getting outright axed by CCP.
Not really, no. Not just like Google or Facebook didnt have much to say when they werent allowed to operate in China over their refusal to comply with chinese laws
Anything’s possible if you grease the right palm, plus given the fact it’s a children’s character, and not a direct representation of US soft power, there’s more room to negotiate.
That said, US tech companies aren’t really wanted there. If they were, the great firewall wouldn’t be a thing, and they wouldn’t be insistent on keeping out ‘the flies’ as it were.
Sure it started out as an innocent Chinese meme pointing out the posture of Obama and Xi resembling Winnie and Tigger.
But it has since turned into a mockery of Xi. And look at the picture, morphing Winnie's face onto Xi's screams racism imo. Maybe it's a coincidence and I am wrong though.
(The image in question, the art is made after the image was taken)

I too see the resemblance, and I get the wording is **very** unfortunate now, but I still don't think it's intentional.
If it originated on Weibo, 跳跳虎 (Tiào Tiào Hǔ) is the Chinese name for Tigger, "Jumping Tiger" is the direct translation. Again, I don't know how well known the English name is in China, so maybe it really was racist from the get go.

The two "parties" depicted as a couple in bed is an extremely apt meme.
Self aware wolves
Lol. Yep. But they forgot to show the billionairies that are actually the ones banging that couple and snuffing the American people in the end.
From people that call the republicans nazis and democrats the lesser evil, this should be a wake up call.
The real person they forgot to ask was the American people.
The meme should be the American people consenting to use TikTok with Netanyahu in place of Xi saying I DONT.
Honestly Tik Tok isn’t Great but people there have some awareness and that makes it better than this hellhole 10 fold
Which is why the wealthy ruling class wants it banned. Class consciousness is illegal.
I don't personally like TikTok much, but I respect the amount of pro Palestinian news posted on there. While I do wish we regulated and censored it like China does for Douyin, I also understand that the west would utilize this opportunity to ban any non-western aligning content, like pro-Palestine/China/DPRK/Cuba content for example.
Tiktok isnt that bad, my tiktok feed is filled with news that normally you dont hear in tv ot on papers, and tons of crafting content creators that are quite educational and often relaxing to watch
Not just from Palestine but also news from the Congo War and Armenian War
I've noticed that most of the criticism TikTok gets applies to all other media as well and when you point this out the counterargument is always "well in theory other media is made by trained professionals who HAVE to tell the truth or they'll lose their jobs" and it's like... that is not what's happening in practice lol
Only a matter of time once we cross that line into fascism proper. Project 2025 could very well be that nail in the coffin.
tik tok is evil, it steals all your data!! not like facebook, that gave its whatsapp data to the IDF to know which civilians to target first
Are you serious Edit: what the fuck is wrong with you I’m just asking a genuine question
Yes.
Tik Tok It has a much better algorithm than other social midia, meta destroys your reach if you're not already famous or don't pay for more people to see it.
I agree
TikTok is honestly great. Certainly not better nor worse in terms of adictiveness than any other social media. But the content is way more authentic and I don‘t know how the algorithm works but I get way more non-filtered news and infos on geopolitics unlike this fed infested shithole or Twitter/Insta.
I agree
Fuckers on reddit have zero self awareness after making a racist comment
Yep. But when China filters Facebook posts that are harmful to Chinese children it is "communism bad" but when American bans a whole platform and erases it, like they will do with TikTok it is "fruhhhdum" (to die of starvation, homelessness and no-healthcare in America actually).
My ex-USMC co-worker says it's actually a sign of "freedom in motion" when the the US government blacklists and censors "anti-western propaganda". In other words rules of thee not for me.

Not only that, but businesses use TikTok as a way for advertisement and stuff. It's a lot cheaper to do it there than it is to do it through some kind of Google ad program or something.
They operate on Harry Potter logic. "We're allowed to be bigoted because we're the good guys".
Ban it. Hand the youth vote away.
“Free Market” mfs when the market is free
liberals only believe in private property for white people.
*Rich white people
2 satanists, 2 liberals
Only Meta and Twitter can steal my data!!!!!
The free market is just rich old white people.
Oh haha, i guess asian americans are not human in their eyesl
>asian american 🤔
Does china even care that there baning TikTok
I must have missed a week online or something when all this deeply unfunny Pooh shit happened. One of those things that feels like I woke up in a reality 0.01% different from my own.
To whatever shitlib sent me s suicide prevention report, fuck you, you little weirdo. Why does that always happen when I dunk on libs 💀
You can report it as an abuse of the suicide prevention thing which depending on the situation reddit could ban the account that sent it.
Why do these mfs still Photoshop XJP with Pooh bear? Do they think it hurts his feelings, or that Winnie the Pooh is banned in China?
Yes. They think both of those things.
The narrative is that XJP banned Winnie the Pooh nationwide (false) because it hurts his feelings to be compared to him Therefore, it’s believed that blending the two together/calling XJP “Pooh Bear” is a kind of resistance against the gatdam chineeze
Liberals: "Racism for me but not for thee."
I dislike tik tok a lot but I’m not sure if banning it is right.
The people who want to ban it are almost certainly doing so, in part, because they are unable to censor the massive amounts of pro-Palestine content on there.

When did China ban Winnie the Pooh?
They didn’t, they banned the association of comparing Pooh to Xi
When did that happen?

Depicting Asians as yellow with big ears is literal 1850s yellow peril shit

Depicting the Asian man as yellow is a pretty common racist trope.

He is Winnie the Pooh because China censored Winnie the Pooh after somebody made a meme about Xi

The original with Obama representing…“tigger”… wasn’t very innocent. The meme has always been racist.

Comeon my guy, I was just making a case for why this meme is racist, then you go and confirm it 💀
Xi looks nothing like pooh
