trying to learn about chinese memes https://t.co/zZ7BHSi62S
imagine if americans loved anything about china as much as chinese love marvel there's anime (japanese) and kpop (korean) but the balance of payments re: cultural content is very one-sided in the US/China relationship https://t.co/QlwMyH5v1B
@visakanv my quest to spread the magic of Three Kingdoms continues https://t.co/7xS95TFTuT
@visakanv Oh boy. The level of these "memes" (and I wouldn't even call them that -- it's a disgrace to what "memes" are) are just so low that I almost find them to taint your brand if you draw too much attention on them.
@visakanv The mushroom head and panda-ears are in particular highly, highly associated with CCP fanboys (basically tankies). I would also be careful when using the references, much the same as the care needed for using Pepe the frog if you're a leftist.
