Comment on Hey, new federated user from Hexbear here

For context, the joke is that the authoritarian dictator of china has outlawed depictions of whiney the poo after chinease people started saying he looked like the character.

You can go to jail for wearing a poo bear t-shirt. A children’s cartoon is now an icon of resistance, which is wild.

This is no different than that LGBT Putin image that’ll get you put in jail in russia.

The yellow skin is, in my opinion, kinda fucked though. I know that the vast majority of people on here using it don’t mean it that way but the effect would be kept while not changing the skin colour. The ears and red shirt are enough. Again though, the people using it are not necessarily racist for doing so.

To pre-empt the enevitable user entirely disinterested in conversation trying to epicly own me as has been the entire post from OP, yes, I’m entirely ok with this. You can ‘mark me down’ as whatever you wish.

For the hexbear users (or others) who want a conversation, out of curiosity, does your issue extend to the existance of this community on our platform?
