    “Wei Wu” has an avatar that looks like it was AI generated, not to mention they’re verified on twitter and they talk exactly like a western person doing a Chinese caricature. Seems fake too me.

      Of course. It’s a bit like the “feminist” sockpuppet accounts that say absurd things to turn people against feminism.

      I hate culture wars and disinformation.

      Yeah, this feels like an op to me, too. I’ve seen a LOT of negative stuff about China over the past 72 hours or so. Like suspiciously boosted on Reddit (mostly) and Lemmy (less so). No proof, but anecdotally, it seems like much more than normal, and current events make it extra sus.

      It’s funny, the tankies and neoliberals assumed that because their country was terrible, other people’s were automatically good.

          Definitely speaking as a Leftist.

          Just because America sucks and China is an enemy of America, does not mean that China does not suck.

          Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is… a complete braying jackass.

      Russians in mp games openly have every second word be a slur when they are even slightly inconvenienced. They don’t even get banned for it since its not racist or something.

    Nah, rednote is no less horny than tiktok was, and half the horny content/comments are from chinese IPs.

    It’s totally cool to be racist, but perverse and sluty behavior is a serious crime. Just think of all the harm sluts cause

      I didn’t think about that! It could be a hate fetish, like all the Republicans who rage about immigrants and then when you point to their immigrant wife, they get real offended.

      That’s the thing, every post on rednote like “do you guys want us here” has hundred of responses from chinese IPs like “Yeah, you guys are great”, the only criticism I see is that some influencer don’t like that the long-form videos they spend 8 hours a day making are getting out-competed by shitposts directly reposted from tiktok, sometimes without even a translation.

          It’s probably mixed, and no real general consensus. I’m sure there are people welcoming Americans, I’m sure there are people annoyed by the new influx of people, but I’m sure most people don’t care at all or don’t even know Americans are moving to it.

            don’t even know Americans are moving to it.

            I assure you, it’s impossible to miss a million americans, and a bunch of countries that didn’t even ban tiktok showing up overnight.

          Chinese propaganda party… you won’t hear anything bad about China there… That people just believe this shit on Red… we will see consequences in near für anyway. People want ww3 so hard that’s just crazy. Like any trump supporter want that Russia get the power of Russmericans nukes.

        That quote was just beautiful. I really wish we could just share our experiences with those in other areas without any judgement, and just acknowledge our differences, and similarities as humans.

        And as a white guy I usually sigh and think “they do be that way” because it’s usually pointing out a large group of actual shitty people who also happen to be white. It’s not like they are rare, lol.

      I don’t see why it would be that much of a shock. Racism isn’t entirely the domain of white Americans. Ask a Japanese nationalist what he thinks of Koreans if you need evidence.

      About to learn that some cultures have never even had to deal with it as a real possibility so there’s zero social stigma.
