    Do you remember the precursor to hydrohomies? It didn’t start as being racist, in fact it originally was a meme. It constantly got misinterpreted as racist because it was stripped of context. If something is constantly being misinterpreted as racist, then perhaps it’s just bad symbolism and needs to be changed.

      Except no one actually thinks it’s racist or interprets it as racism.

      This is tankies abusing false racism claims to try and suppress mockery of the piece of shit Xi Jinping.

        I’m an anarchist, but whatever. Clearly the problem is everyone else who sees a problem with it, it’s not like you’d ever use unintentionally problematic imagery.
