    The amount of racist white supremacist and capitalist bootlicking lies and reasoning on this page is astounding. TV Tropes are fucking crackers. Maybe edit bomb the page?

    I’ve never watched the referenced show, but I read over the TV Tropes page and I’m confused about why you think the page is full of racist / white supremacist content. It sounds like the show does, but the page itself is just a list of tropes that the show employs with a minimal amount of commentary.

    Is it a white supremacist lie to say that the show uses this trope?

    Always Lawful Good: How America, the Republican party and Falun Gong is portrayed in both here and America Uncovered.

    Is it racist to indicate that the show is racist and that it specifically uses these tropes (among others)?

    Fantastic Racism: America Uncovered and this show both use racist/sexist/homophobic jokes Played for Laughs.

    French Jerk: The stereotype is used as an example when France is brought up.

    Greedy Jew: How Jews are portrayed when mentioned. Saul Alinsky and George Soros are both portrayed this way.

    The page is critical of the CCP (e.g., see the “Truth in Television” note on the “Commie Nazis” trope), which isn’t necessarily capitalist bootlicking, as plenty of people are critical of the CCP - but otherwise it doesn’t take a stance. It doesn’t explicitly criticize the show for having racist, nationalist, conservative content, but it also doesn’t endorse it. It doesn’t criticize communism, either; it simply says that the show is anti-communist.

    What am I missing here?

      Did you not read the notes? The page itself agrees with the show that China is a “totalitarian dictatorship” that acts like a “spoiled brat” that imprisons “muh Yoghurts”.

      Being critical of the CPC isn’t the problem, the reasons and purpose of the show’s and TV Tropes’ page are. TV Tropes is notorious for spewing the same ass crackkker bullshit about socialist countries and their people being brainwashed, stupid and evil.

      Edit: Wow, some Lemmy.world fascist bootlickers are really pissed off.

        I did, and if your complaint is just that the page insults the Chinese government, you should edit the post title to say as much. But as it is, that is not what it says. So if you stand by what you wrote, please quote three examples each of the page’s:

        • white supremacist
        • racist

        content. I would ask for just one, but you said it’s “astounding” how much of it there was, so asking for three seems appropriate.

          What is this lib shit? If they write unironically about organ harvesting, FLG and Tibet in the second paragraph of the intro, they’re a bunch of racist white edgelords.

            “If you dare write about <insert thing that undenyingly happened> you are racist”.

            Soon you’ll say nothing particular happened in Tiananmen Square either.

              It’s undeniable that China rescued Tibet from feudal pedophiliac slave-owning landlords, and it’s also undeniable that Falun Gong claimed that their organs are being harvested, despite no proof whatsoever, that numerous independent and foreign doctors testified couldn’t have occurred in the manner as described, and it’s undeniable that you believe everything you read instead of checking your sources and interrogating potential bias and and blindly accepting what the U.S. government-owned western news media tells you to believe.

            What is this lib shit? If they write unironically about organ harvesting, FLG and Tibet in the second paragraph of the intro, they’re a bunch of racist white edgelords.

            First of all, if you think that criticizing a government for its failings is racist then, simply put, you’re wrong. Likewise re white supremacy. If the government were taking actions that were less favorable to white people and someone were criticizing those actions, then you’d have an argument, but that’s not what’s happening here.

            Tibet

            I’m by no means an expert but I specifically find your mention of Tibet curious - are you saying that you disagree that the Tibetans have been persecuted? Would you then argue that this wikipedia article is entirely spurious? If so I’d love if you could provide some evidence to back up that claim.

            organ harvesting

            Just reading over the Wikipedia page, I see that this is contested, but the argument that it has been happening are much stronger, and the only cited counterargument involves the demand for immunosuppressant drugs, which I would be unsurprised to learn that literally any developed nation has the capability to produce themselves.

            Why do you think this is false?

            FLG

            Please, elaborate as to why you think mentioning the FLG is racist.

      Edit: Op got butthurt and blocked me. Enjoy your circlejerking cernsorship and being manipulated by the CCP. I won’t be able to see any of it, including your responses to this comment. Snowflake culture is real.

      Op is either a Chinese bot account or paid propagandist. We all hate late stage capitalism, but OP is trying to redirect that hate into censoring criticism of the Chinese Communist Party.

        It’s not censorship to criticize slander. It’s not like I’m zipping their mouths shut, which would still be pretty nice anyway. I can’t “censor” anything I don’t have official control of.

    Already made my stance on this

    every online information space staffed by english muffins will be razed and vandalized by the third world

    every fake place name, flora name, animal that was artificially given within the last 200 years will be returned to its historical one
    wiggapedia will be full of articles like “Manul” and “Kalpasi” and “Pippali” instead of “Sir waddlington’s cat” and “Xenophylopodotropestrum springmorphidappalixyliae”

    every fake CIA/FBI/wignat current events/historical narrative will be de-tunnelvisioned, and rightfully compared with other (usually larger) atrocities. The fake math they use (victims of communism calculations) will also be revealed, and we will not let people forget that they used it.

    the entire english language will be decolonized, it won’t matter how many cracker tears there are

    WE WILL HAVE 1 BILLION MOUNT DENALIS
    THE FIREWALL (of english non-fluency) IS FOR THEIR PROTECTION
