Say “aye” or yes" if you are in favour defederation.
Say “nay” or “no” if you are against defederation.
Only users who have a sh.itjust.works account can vote. Fresh accounts won't be counted.
Yes you should. This instance should not have been federated at all and I regret having voted in favor. You're a bunch of racist fucks.
Racist because of one parody image of Xi the Pooh that was clearly not even aimed at Asians in general? Jesus you guys are a bunch of snowflakes. And that's coming from an Asian/Taiwanese myself. We don't need your self imposed superiority to feel sorry for us. We know what's racist and what's not. Thank you.
You can paint the president of the world's largest asian country yellow and I I'll tell you it's fine
pick me
You can depict the current leading party in Taiwan as maggots and I could also tell you it's fine. In fact, people here already do. The CCP just so happens to be that sensitive about a fucking yellow cartoon bear. Hilarious I know. If they someday be also sensitive about a pink alien and we make fun of it, are you going to tell me it's racist against aliens?
Lol stupid black people upset about wide lipstick. It's just fucking lipstick and face paint. Hilarious I know.
I just came up with this rhetorical strategy of flattening the context of an offensive act so as to present it as being non offensive! I don't know where I got the idea but I sure do feel like I could win an online debate with it.
FYI, that meme originated from Chinese social media. If that meme was supposed to be racist, you're essentially saying that Asian people somehow offends other Asians about their skin color being yellow, despite themselves being the same ethnicity.
You see the problem here?
You must be very slow witted to have your "I can't be racist because I'm Asian" argument dismissed so many times now and still drop it like it's a conversation stopper.
I don't care if it was created in a Wuhan lab. I care how it's deployed. And it doesn't get turned into the west's go to propaganda poster portrait without filling the role of yellow scare racism. It and your juvenile 'cee cee pee' shit has a clear purpose that you're just too much of a troll to speak plainly about.
And you must be very slow witted to get that Asians here were never insulted because of the meme (except China since they love their leader so much). The meme was never the problem.
If you actually cared about Asians, you would have researched in Asian social media or asked Asian people how they think about the picture, and how it relates to racism if any. Racism is a problem in the US yes, but I absolutely do not believe that a meme has that much to do with the core problem with it. Take out the meme, and they would come up with another excuse like COVID to legitimize it in no time. They would happily rally around Trump and spout their racism and fuck China shit because there's another enabler.
From what I see, Hexbears feeling the need to judge others for matters that aren't about themselves, and also don't bother to listen to the people who they think are affected, are the ones who drank the coolaid.
We're talking that the white man is never going to respect anyone who sells out.
White guy here, born and raised on the brunch steppes. RoomandBored is completely right. My formative years were spent listening to my nice liberal family casually degrade and disparage every other country and it's inhabitants. To them, if you're not from America you're from "some shithole", and you will always be lesser in their eyes. You can try to fit in by throwing others under the bus, but those distant gates of honorary whiteness will never open, and the horrifying part is that there is nothing beyond them anyway. The barrier is the entire thing. You do not want to be "in" with us.

Big "We have the wall to work upon" energy
think that what’s acceptable to apply to a prominent Asian figure is acceptable to apply to all Asians
I also see US political comics depicting prominent figures of the US as animals, devils, etc. It's a thing they do. Xi the Pooh isn't something new they came up with, so I think that the picture in question has little to do with deep running racism.
What Uncle Roger went through is sad, but whether it's because of COVID or the picture, they're all just excuses imo. Take one out, and they'll find another as their excuse.
I really don't care about your opinion, conservacuck
They are just larpers that like the whole USSR/CCP asthetic,my advice is to not engage them since they will just piss you of and no valuable conversation is gonna come out from it.
I am literally an anarchist who has also done more praxis than most of your instance combined.
Anarchists in a community of Russia and chinese apologists. You're either stupid or a troll
Apologist this, apologist that. Nobody has more apologists than
Yeah i bet theyd be much better off in the other Online Anarchist Spaces, where they have contests to see who can hold the least anarchist value and still call themself one, more time is spent fighting Twitter Stalinists and overseas bureaucrats than asking for clean water for minorities in their own country, and any given user could randomly be a toddler or a DHS sockpuppet. So fun, safe, and productive.
Yeah, that time could be spent celebrating worthless morons like Makhno instead of working with people with whom you have common class interests.
People who realize we have more problems than minor theoretical differences? Nakoichi is an actual organizer who works with indigenous people and that deserves respect if you're any kind of leftist
point at the theory that says I shouldn't try to work with every possible leftist in my area. I live in Texas. There aren't enough of us to go around already and we don't need to start splitting ourselves over irrelevant shit like the Spanish Civil War.
Give me a title for this one, maybe a more specific citation if it's part of s book
One who isn't a moronic splitter and understands that the imperial core is their actual enemy
As an anarchist: like all anarchists (in the English speaking West) do this, anarchism is a small movement.
At the same time, i just spent a bunch of time arguing with a pair of Hexbear accounts that are probably Russian state media so uh... yeesh.
You aren't anarchists, you're cowardic radlibs pretending your opinions are worth something
I really don't understand how you could conclude that it was an aesthetic interest
I'm not debating you I am pointing out a very obvious fact about your community.
Oh if it's so obvious you must have plenty of very obvious examples of the entirety of SJW being obviously racist.
Dude ignoe him, its not wort it, hexberians are just gonna keep busting your balls.
Yea i already seen your vote comment, you do you m8 and i wish you good luck.
your instance is full of either cryptofascists or ignorant bigots
there are like 5 who are smart people with a soul
I think you're overcounting, pretty sure anyone who creates a sh.itjust.works account forfeits their soul and is no longer a person. Maybe there were five that had a soul before they did that idk
Isn't it funny how this poll was started by the person who moderates the community with the racist banner? Apparently their opinion counts for something over here 🤔
those damn Chinese citizens making racist memes of themselves!
(for those unaware, Xi Ping as Winnie the Pooh originated from Chinese citizens making fun of their government)
Not much is known about them, no, but they were born in China. Considering China's lack of diversity, chances are is that they are ethnically Chinese.
See this is racist as fuck. You have any idea how many ethnic groups exist in China?
What next you're gonna tell me that Africa isn't diverse just because there are mostly dark skinned people there?
This is the sort of unexamined racism people are pointing out to you and your only defense is "Nuh uh, I can't be racist because I never say slurs to people's face".
You people have a childlike interpretation of the world.
1,284,446,389 Han
19,568,546 Zhuang
11,774,538 Uyghur

so much diversity!
I literally learned in middleschool that wikipedia was not an acceptable source.
It's a shame you stopped at middle school or you might have learned how to look at the cited source
We're not talking about the original meme, we are talking about you changing the skin color of a Chinese person to be yellow. That's all you.
Just because someone makes a joke about a group they're a part of doesn't mean that you then get to take it way further and way more racial.
Don't worry we're in the process of defederating from you. I just don't care which side pulls the trigger first.
Don’t worry we’re in the process of defederating from you.
The only good thing I have ever heard coming from hexbear.
Gonzalo Lira? How are you able to use Lemmy from a Ukrainian prison?
Yes.
I’m sensitive to racial issues but the way they go about discussing them devalues them in the same way that I used to devalue them, and reliving my mistakes in every comment section is killing me. Also, everything turns into twitch chat after they arrive.
Former* racist sad to find people repeating their mistakes by getting swept into a group of “satirists” just doing “a little trolling.” I wish you expediency in finding your “former” in the future. Only you can do it, my race baiting friend.
Disempowering language by calling everyone a racist, twitch chat.
Nay.
My beliefs aren"t so fragile that they're threatened by opposing viewpoints, even those that may not be put forth in good faith.
And I can simply block (the relatively small (?) proportion of) users that don't engage in good faith.
Nay,
I really wish people that hate hexbear would take a step back and look at their own behavior. Most hateful comments I see on the subject seem to be aimed at them and not coming from them.
how are anti rascists repeating your mistakes?
