Some on the right portray this TikTok phenomenon as tantamount to treason. That says more about them than the fans of Chinese culture, says writer and podcaster Coco Khan

    Dumb take. Dispelling the fear of China does more to undo the fabric of the United States. You can’t see other citizens get merc’d by internal security forces and go “at least we are not china” when a twitch streamer or a tiktoker shows up in China having the time of his life.

        My favorite one I’ve seen is of someone going “Oh man I wonder what Charlie Kirk thinks about this?!” And the next image is just his empty chair

          Had no idea this was a band or literary reference, was concerned at first it was in reference to Rittenhouse. If he is to be done, it can be WITH harm

            Yeah, it’s a well known passage from Gravity’s Rainbow that plays with the malleability of language using punctuation. Like the simpsons bit with the lawyer “Works on contingency. No money down.” vs “Works on contingency? NO! Money down.”

            I HATE that they call kyle shitinhouse the kenosha kid for this exact reason. I’m a huge pynchon fan (my pfp is a symbol from one of his books).

            I can take a picture of the passage from the book in a little bit and post it if you’re interested.

    the vast majority talking of “Chinese baddies” only mean that lovingly (translation: badass).

        Traditionally but it’s been getting sanded down like all slang terms into a generic good/bad paradigm. A baddie is someone you like
