That’s the short version, yes. Here’s what’s left of the full discussion:

Unfortunately they nuked the thread, potentially to obscure the evidence. I can’t even tell exactly where the discussion was because of that, but that was the thread.

The TL;DR of it:

Everyone there was dog-piling someone for posting a Xinnie the Pooh meme for being racist.

I asked how that could be racist. (many downvotes)

I got dogpiled by a bunch of people who explained that because Winnie the Pooh’s skin is yellow, it’s occidentalist (a word I learned that day) - some going so far as to say any criticism of China, the CCP, or Xi Xinping is rooted in racism. I explained why I didn’t think any of that is automatically racist, but agreed it could be depending on intent.

Thread nuked and banned.
