  It’s the 1989 Tiemaman square Tank Man picture and Xi Jinping as Whinnie the Pooh, images commonly censored in China as one of them demonstrates clear oppression and the other discredits the CCP.

    Oppression is when you stand in the way of a tank and the tank stops for you, and then you climb on top of the tank and have a conversation with the guy in the tank, and then you walk off completely unharmed

      There’s a lot more where that came from

      Reporters were kept away by force and the CCP tried as hard as they could to hide all evidence. Crushed protestors were washed down drains with hoses, and many were whisked away to secret graves. Despite this, there is still significant photographic evidence

        There were actually numerous western reporters in the square and they all say nobody died there, some of them sent off diplomatic cables the same or the next day saying so, which were released by Wikileaks.

        Hey, did those protestors have bones? Were they wearing clothes? Do you have the first clue about how the human body and/or physics work?

      You realize that this picture originated from Chinese social media right?

        Things can undergo a transformation, just because the original usage might have been innocent. If something starts being used by white racists or western imperialist in a racist way, would ya look at that, it’s racist.

        Also, it’s covert racism. It gives people plausible deniability. Like you are doing now.

        And you realise that watermelons originated in Africa, right?

        You realise that the origin of something doesn’t determine the depictions of it supporting racist stereotypes, such as a vast array of disgustingly racist caricatures of black people eating watermelons isn’t absolved by the fact that it originated in Africa, right?

    Have you ever seen the complete tank man video? he doesn’t get run over, while in the US state vehicles are often running into peaceful protestors www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-W-7WPWfE4

    How dare those tanks not run over that man! Don’t they understand that freedom is when you just plow into people like US security forces do.

  Lmao your instance literally blocks it. Just shows how your instance can go fuck themselves.

  • HornyOnMain@hexbear.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Our instance doesn’t show any externally hosted images, it’s not about what’s in the image idiot

    source

    • CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Its completely irrelevant whats inside the image, the point is you don’t get shown it because your instance likes censorship.

      source

      • HornyOnMain@hexbear.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The reason we don’t show externally hosted images isn’t because of censorship it was because of the CSAM thing

  I’m fairly new to Lemmy. What does that signify? something to do with federation I guess? I can see the picture - Xi as Pooh Bear…

  source

  • HornyOnMain@hexbear.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Recently someone started trying to bring large Lemmy instances down by posting CSAM on large instances with open sign ups, as a result the hexbear mods made it so that images from untrusted instances wouldn’t be shown to hexbear users to avoid hexbear users having to see stuff like that, idk whether its a temporary measure or not but for now all images from untrusted instances are just replaced with the words *removed externally hosted image* on our end

    source

    • clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Thank you, that makes sense.

      I had to see and report some offensive material on that line, and while it was quickly removed by our admins I don’t think there’s any way to actually prevent it.

      source

      • HornyOnMain@hexbear.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Apparently there’s been some discussion on lemm.ee of getting an AI that will automatically detect CSAM and delete it automatically but idk whether anything will come of it
