OP link us to the comment where you merely mentioned Tiananmen square and got banned for it
Further down, but it seems it was more about mocking the president and saying that China and Russia were dictatorships. Maybe...
We've already seen the modlog and know you were banned for racism.
Which comment was racist ? 🤔
The ones where you called Xi a yellow animal. Also if you aren't Asian shut the fuck up with "oh but it isnt racist". I'm part Asian and that shit is racist.
I have to admit I probably would have read yellow in that context to mean 'cowardly' rather than with racist connotations but I can see how it could be taken that way.
Didn't the whole Winnie the Pooh moniker originate within China itself? It was only picked up in the US like years later.
Winnie the Pooh is a stuffed teddy bear, not a "yellow animal"
I wasn't saying that about the color... Asians aren't even yellow... wtf is your stuff about saying Chinese are yellows ??? Is that an American thing ?
Asians are depicted and referred to as yellow in racist caricatures.
In OP's defense, is it possible that they were referencing the Xi as Winnie the Pooh meme? Pooh is in fact yellow and is ostensibly an animal.
I dunno, I wasn't there for the larger context, but it seems at least possible that this is what happened.
I will take my downvotes now.
"In their defense westerners love to share a meme about an Asian man being yellow. Maybe it's not racist. "
That's why the meme is racist lol
Hexbear at least does not have the ability to downvote
That actually sucks and I do not agree with that.
Are you telling me you have never in your life heard the term "Yellow Peril"?
In other parts of the post OP claims to be the pinnacle of political understanding, yet is ignorant on very basic racist terminology used in our political history. Iconic.
You're free to check the modlog, rather than lying that you were "banned for mentioning Tiananmen Square"
Dude's never been called yellow and it shows. Fuck off.
In Russia. Believe whatever propaganda you want, no matter how you spin it, no matter how well treated the children actually are, it's still a war crime, it's still stealing children. The warzone only exists in the first place because of Putins invasion, and it could end tomorrow if he wanted.
Bullshit. Russia is invading Ukraine, there is ZERO justification for that, NONE. If they want to keep Ukrainian children safe, they need to stop invading their country, not kidnap them from their families and forcefully immigrate them to Russia.
Russia can stop invading Ukraine any time they want. Ukrainians will never stop trying to defend their country. Russia, and Putin specifically, is the one at fault for every single life lost in this war. The fucking gall you have to victim blame Ukraine when they are literally fighting a defensive war against an invader is insane.
A war he started for no legitimate reason. You don't get to take credit for saving people from a tragedy you intentionally caused.
Unless you're a cartoon villain with a redemption arc.
He is keeping Ukraine a fucking warzone.
Lol fucking wake up and stop drinking Russian kool aid.
You can believe in fairy tales for all I care. Nobody here is interested in your delusions, and quite frankly, anyone personally affected by the ongoing tragedy have more than good reason to wish you dead with rest of the invaders and warcrime symphatizers.
Do the world a favor and fucking shut your disgusting trap.
He’s a dictator, everything Russia does is his idea
Russians? Last people Ratin would ask are russians. He just wants to stay in power, that's it, he doesn't care about russians or "keeping Ukraine neutral".
Why doesn't he give them back to ukraine then? or at least an international third party?
