dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Xi as Winnie the Pooh is racist

I've seen actual news articles claim that Winnie the Pooh is straight up banned in China. You can just do a quick search to see that this isn't true, but that doesn't stop our intrepid Western journalists.

The Christopher Robin movie not being released in China was also not because of Xi's hurt feefees as some people claim, but because only a certain amount of Western movies are released in China per year, and it's not like Christopher Robin was exactly a smash hit.

Christopher Robin is the Barry Lyndon of the 21st century. You lack the intellectual to understand its subtleties and nuanced perspective.

I watched a Chinese drama where I think I saw every single Winnie the Pooh character on a shirt at least once.
