Comment on My thoughts on Hexbear. Posting as the megathread was locked.

A good starting point to learning as any; Like most Western news stories about China - The Winnie the Pooh thing (while also have ominous racist tones) is also just an entirely made up story with no basis in reality. The Pooh brand is alive, unsuppressed, and found throughout China.

  Also the original was vastly more racist than even this shows, with comparisons of Obama and Xi to Tigger and Pooh. I’m sure 1 letter change can hint you at what was intended behind the other comparison

    ehhhh, come on guys. Let’s not do that. It was just that Obama and Xi walking next to each other looked like tigger and pooh.

    Convince me of that. Any 2 people of different heights look like Winnie and Tigger then, and they look like any other pair of people who walk together. Why that specific choice? I will not be easily convinced that a yellow bear with small eyes was chosen for any other reason than the racism, consciously or unconsciously, of the person making the comparison. I think Chinese people can take it back if they want, by talking about how Pooh is actually a positive goal of enjoyment/relaxedness or such, but that’s not what the comparisons are for.
    
    And Tigger was a convenient addition to a horrible excuse for a joke. And that supports why that pair was chosen out of any pair
