I have been using Hayase for anime. Just found out they got a automatic DMCA strike on GitHub they are trying to appeal, so you can’t access the source code right now, but the downloads on their site (which links directly from GitHub) still work.

Hell yeag! If China manages to at least put pressure on Nvidia and AMD it would already be great.

Fair enough. I’ll update my original comment.

Nah, you’re excusing his behavior. He could have cursed in Swedish instead of using a racially charged word. The fact that he knew the word, knew it was bad, it came to his mind and used it is too much to be a “heated” moment.

And even if it was, there’s literally no excuses. His content is in English and his main audience is USians.

Sure thing. These people were both on his YouTube comments and on his subreddit. Tho I remember it being worse at the subreddit.

The issue is not that Nazis will watch his content, that’s outside of anyone’s control, but that his content funnels people into right-wing ideologies, which attracts these types of people.

The video “The PewDiePipeline” that I linked talks about this better than I could.

Yes because in this case it’s relevant. You are right that being mentioned by a bad person is not necessarily proof of anything. But like I said, in this case it is connected to the content and community that PewDiePie has.

If you can’t see how he hosting Shapiro and Musk, using right wing memes and rethoric, endorsing a fascist author, and allowing Nazis and other right-wingers to fester in his community is directly related with why that POS shooter mentioned him, that is precisely the problem.

That’s a common excuse used to defend the guy over and over again like it is just some isolated incident and not connected to the content he produces and the community he fosters.

I used to watch him years ago. He has a very young and impressionable audience which he constantly feeds memes with right-wing rethoric.

To list a few of the stuff I remember:

• He said the N word hard R;
• He paid people on Fiverr to show a sign saying “Death to all Jews” or something like that, where he laughed at the reveal. He said it was to prove a point that you could do harmful shit with that type of online service, but all it ended up doing was getting the guys banned from the platform and served to signal to Nazis that he would host such content;
• He allowed right-wingers to fester in his community, 4chan specially really liked the guy;
• He hosted both Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk in his channel for a “meme review”;
• He has stated multiple times that his favorite author is Mishima, a Japanese fascist, not only in the past, but also in the last year at least;
• He used to stream on some crypto bullshit site, which I don’t remember the name;
• His whole campaign against the Indian conglomerate T-Series lead not only to racist comments but also to a very racist music video he did;
• The Christchurch shooter mentioned him in a video. And while being mentioned by a shooter doesn’t necessarily mean he’s an issue, in this case it’s extremely relevant since it’s pretty clear that is a byproduct of his politics and the community he has.

There’s probably much more that I either don’t remember or don’t know about, but this is more than enough to understand where he stands politically and the harm he causes.

I also recommend the video: The PewDiePipeline.

The Secret. If you wish hard enough for it, an elephant will appear in your living room, eventually.

Hey, I appreciate the disclaimer at the top, it shows you care about this stuff, which is already a pretty good step.

Other comrades already provided you with links about Tiananmen Square. The only other two I can link here are this video debunking the western narrative by Hakim and this article about the Arab league’s conclusion after investigating Xinjiang.

With all that said, I think your conclusion is wrong. You are completely right when you say that media outlets and most of the internet are owned up by a handful of billionaires that control the narrative in their favor, including YouTube. But that doesn’t mean everything produced on these outlets are lies or wrong. On YouTube for example, despite the clear disadvantage, there are communists there subverting the machine to educate people on these issues you are speaking about.

Furthermore, your vision of China comes from these same media outlets you already rightfully criticized. I invite you to rethink what you have been told about China, and any other current socialist countries for that matter, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and DPRK.

You can lurk or ask around on Lemmygrad if you’re curious and want to learn further about that.

That is bullshit. If you are refering to Tiananmen Square, then I highly recommend you watch the channel Felipe Durante on YouTube. He’s a Brazilian living in China and he have talked about it several times, and even talks about how his colleagues talk about it.

This idea that China is some sort of dystopian hell where you cannot talk about this stuff is just a western lie.

Always funny how the right winger .wolders love to say shit about us, but are too scared to face the reality since they just defederated from us.

I was using Etehnity, but I had some issues with it and recently started using Raccoon instead, which has been pretty good.

FOSS is political. Sure, there are right wingers in FOSS projects, but the nature of it is leftist.

EDIT: I just realized feddit blocks both Lemmygrad and Hexbear, so this user cannot see my comment. If anyone wants to use/copy my comment or link directly to it, feel free to do so, I believe I provided enough evidence to debunk most of this user’s sourceless claims. It’s a shame some instances just block us and shows who they truly are.

E: any of you downvoters, feel free to correct me, I’d love to be wrong.

You throw a bunch of claims with zero source and wants to be taken seriously. At least give us the bare minimum before just spewing this much US State Department propaganda.

That being said, I will address some of your points, since someone else might stumble upon this and need an actual answer.

They don’t have CCP officials required by law to work at tech companies and disclose any and all data they acquire?

Keeping a close look on the companies on their country and keeping them on a short leash is good actually. China is not a capitalist hellhole like the US or most of the world, it is a socialist state where the rich does not control the government. Keeping them in check is the right thing to do given their current development level of socialism.

They’re not using Uyghur slaves in their factories?

That’s a new one, so far I have only heard about how they are being genocided. Which you can debunk with a little bit of research: Arab League’s visit to Xinjiang rejects Western accusations of ethnic genocide, religious persecution.

They’re not trying to literally erase Taiwan off the maps?

LMAO, no. Taiwan is part of China, why would China want to erase part of itself off the map? Even the US agrees. The only thing China wants is proper reunification with Taiwan.

They’re not still censoring information about their horrific pasts?

What “horrific past”? Be specific, this vague stance achieves nothing. If you’re talking about Tiananmen Square, here’s a good video about that: The Tiananmen Square “Massacre” Never Happened.

They’re not targeting, retaliating against and kidnapping protestors domestic and abroad?

Again, provide a damn source, I have no idea of what you’re talking about and it is something I never saw anyone claim before.

What I can do tho is bring into attention the names of a few people like Huey P. Newton being killed by the US government and Snowden having to seek asylum abroad after blowing the whistle on the US surveillance state for the world to see. And if that’s not enough, how about Pro-Palestinian protesters clash with US police on second night of DNC and New Report Details How Pro-Palestinian Protests Are Suppressed in Democratic Countries.

They’re not censoring virtually every US social website entirely from the entire country?

No they are not, Microsoft operates in China. Not only that, but they do not explicitly want to simply ban US sites on there, it’s a simple matter of national sovereignty where companies like Facebook and Google refuse to abide by Chinese law, so China simply developed all their tools in-house. Not only that, but Chinese citizens have access to VPNs and can easily access websites abroad that are not usually allowed in China.

Meanwhile the US banned Huawei and tried to ban TikTok when it became apparent they could not control it and that the people were seeing the US for what it truly is, a genocidal state funding Israel in it’s attempt to genocide the Palestinian people.

The last link I posted is a proxy on 12ft.io since The Intercept won’t allow to see the page without registering.

Bazzite is great. I was using Nobara before it, and Solus before that and Bazzite has been the best experience I ever had on Linux, I don’t plan on changing distros as long as it remains a thing.

It was the fucking people in China making the comparison! Come on. You keep ignoring this in order to just say westerners are evil.

Ignoring? I literally addressed that in my previous comment. I’m not gonna repeat myself. And I’m not saying westerners are evil. As much as I hate using these moral terms like good, bad and evil, if I were to use it it would be to say that the west is evil, not the westerners.

Clean, meaning morally, no he isn’t. Kind, not so much. He presents as if he’s a perfect story book character, like Pooh Bear (hence the comparison), but he wouldn’t still be in power if this were the case.

Yeah yeah, keep changing the meaning of words to only fit how you see it on your head. And really? He’s still in power because he presents himself as “clean and kind”? Like, really? First you say he’s a dictator, now he’s only still in power because se presents himself well. Which one is it? And that aside, do you really believe he’s only in power because he presents himself well? Like, really?

The people in China recognize this, which is why they started the comparison. It spread to the west because of the outsized response to it.

A single meme is not representative of the will of the Chinese people. By this logic I can say the USians are nazi because of how much Pepe exploded in popularity. It’s beyond silly.

It was funny how insulted he was by this that it started being banned, so it spread because his fragile ego couldn’t handle it.

First of all, Winnie the Pooh was never banned in China, it is still a very popular character there.

Second of all, you lack understanding of how Chinese society works. China, and some other asian countries do not simply speak ill of their leaders and representatives. It’s a cultural thing. Which is not to say that they don’t criticize them, they do, but it is completely different than the rest of the world.

And finally third, if people started representing Obama with the image of a gorilla, let’s say, from Tarzan. Wouldn’t that be racist? Wouldn’t that be censored and ban worth in most places? So stop with the double standard bullshit. Just realize you’re racist against asians and do some introspection.

For everything else you said I already have replied previously.

You’re incredibly unserious and I’m not losing my time engaging with you any further.

Prove it? Sure. It’s a system where the singular ruling party controls elections and all candidates must be approved by them. If that’s not a dictatorship then I’ve never heard of one.

A single party system is not inherently undemocratic, we communists believe in democratic centralism. The CPC is the dominant party in China, but there are multiple other parties in the country.

You can argue it provides utility or stability or something if you want, but arguing it isn’t a dictatorship shows how ignorant you are. Of course it’s exactly what I’d expect though.

No, it shows how ignorant YOU are, since you clearly don’t even understand how different political systems can be democratic. Your vision of democracy is limited and is easily dismantled by showing how in the US, for example, you have basically a two-party system that at the end of the day serves the same purpose, to continue to impose the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie upon the working class, or how you libs call it, “western democracy”. Your lack of class analysis in China’s system fails to account for how the CPC represents the proletariat instead of the bourgeoisie and how that completely changes the inner functions of said country and society.

I don’t know how the west doing anything bad is relevant to this conversation. It was never part of the discussion and is purely a red-herring to distract from your bad faith argument.

You can’t be serious, right? You can’t simply point fingers at a country with a bunch of false claims and not expect a direct comparison with how the rest of the world does stuff to dismantle the argument. The implication in this discussion is that China and the CPC is a bad evil dictatorship that oppresses people and curbs their freedom of speech. By pointing out how the west does things I’m providing a counter argument of the false claims. You can’t simply claim a bunch of stuff in a vacuum without directly comparing with how the it in the rest of the world, it’s disingenuous. Do you not understand how arguments work?

Also, once again, the Pooh Bear thing is from China. It isn’t racist. It has nothing to do with race. Prove it is, since you’re asking for proof of basic stuff we all know.

Oh stop playing dumb. You know very well that it is racist to associate a Chinese person with a yellow character. Also, it doesn’t matter where it comes from. Pepe and the Ok sign didn’t start as hate symbols, both were turned into one. If you can’t see how westerners constantly calling and depicting Xi Jinping as Pooh isn’t racist, then you’re the racist.

It’s making fun of him being fat and the way he presents himself as clean and kind.

Oh so according to you it’s not racist, it’s just fatphobic AND racist since by saying he “presents clean and kind” you’re implying he is neither of those things. Definitely not racist to imply that a Chinese person is unclean and unkind. Fuck off.

Criticizing or making fun of a nations leader is not racist. In fact, the comparison originates from China.

Then go ahead, actually criticize Xi instead of associating him with a yellow bear, which is definitely not racist, no no no, not racist at all.

You’ll just go back to your echo chamber where anything critical of dictators is bad and must come from the west. They’ll probably agree with you, despite it being incredibly easy to learn more.

LMAO, then fucking prove China is a “dictatorship”. You libs keep repeating the same “China bad”, EBIL SEESEEPEE with zero self awareness of how the west is actually looting, underdeveloping and actively destroying the rest of the world.

Not sure why you were downvoted, you are correct. You can’t even say “Winnie the Pooh”.

Censoring westerners that keep being racist is good actually.

NetEase is the developer of Marvel Rivals. They are a huge Chinese based company, they have ties to the CCP.

The CPC keeps a close eye on the companies in China. This is not a bad thing like you are framing. If you wanna point out to a real problematic case then point at Call Of Duty for being a military propaganda tool.
