Bing Dwen Dwen is the first olympic mascot in ages I could imagine a kid wanting a stuffed animal of. The Fuwa from the 2008 Beijing games came close, but they had creepy faces.



I mean, what the gently caress is this? This is how Italy presented itself to the world.

_____ has in the last couple of years significantly escalated violence against domestic dissidents (most notably the very public assassination ... on ______). If they are planning a full occupation and political reorientation of the country then it would be entirely in character to preemptively sweep up and detain anyone they think will give them trouble. Install a client government and make it very clear to the political class that there are huge personal costs to voicing opposition.

The weirdo Japanese CNN correspondent who want upset that service workers are allowed to wear masks is also really upset that the mascot doesn't have huge anime tiddies or tentacles or something

The official line from the Beijing 2022 Organizing Committee is that the panda's spacesuit — a shell of ice — is meant to be a "tribute to new technologies for a future with infinite possibilities." Yet it also suggests something more insidious: a cryogenically preserved baby.

Fat chance of that. Again, Russia has an even bigger anti-semitism problem than Ukraine

like, who's this pleasant feller?



It's Putin's pal Dmitry Utkin who founded the Russian version of Blackwater





Ukraine's most popular neonazi party, Svoboda, got 2.15% of the vote in the last national election. They occupy 1 out of 450 seats in the Rada. In the same election a Jew was elected to lead the country with 73% of the vote. Saying they should be invaded because of a nazi problem is like arguing for the 2003 invasion of Iraq because of a islamic terrorist problem

fascinating you picked 'random Russian Putin has been seen with' and not the anti-Putin political figure the US has been propping up as a political prisoner/victim for years who wears nazi armbands and calls immigrants cockroaches and such, who's a way more direct example of pro-nazi Russians with political power in the area.

Panda's are notorious for not wanting to gently caress though so it's very in character.

quote:

It made for an ironic plot twist. The mascot, as some have alleged, was heavily publicized in order to distract the world from China's treatment of Uyghurs. Bowen Yang, impersonating Chinese trade minister and Olympic Games organizer Chen Biao on a recent "SNL" skit, rhetorically asked about an image of Bing Dwen Dwen: "Is this the face of a country that would violate human rights?"
genocide panda

also a lot of the article is standard Chinese social media poo poo

quote:

One post critiquing Bing Dwen Dwen's "disgusting" voice received more than 20,000 reposts.

I'm no weibo expert but that doesn't sound like a whole lot of reposts, it's like low to mid tier on twitter which has fewer users and I presume a more fractured user base as everyone speaks different languages

Yet the mascot's Icarian fall hints at something endogenous: the coiled contempt that many nationalist Chinese are ready to spring at the merest whiff of waywardness.
