I tried it a few times recently when I’ve been down in the trenches of shitposting and it is very funny to make them try to explain their argument to you as if you have no idea what they’re saying. It’s so easy to bait them into thinking they’re about to bring up this amazing dunk about how China banned Winnie the Pooh or whatever and win you over, and then you get to just tell them that’s not true because you just looked it up plus now it feels racist.

Oh shit, the 'how is that funny' derail. How'd I never think of that, that's genius

This picture is banned in China? I don’t think so, he’s just a cartoon bear and I’ve seen plenty of pictures of bears in China before. I mean maybe I’m just missing something in your comparison. Do you mean like how America is an eagle and Russia is a brown bear? Maybe you meant to say you’re thinking of a panda bear or something?

Oh you think it’s because this bear cartoon drawing looks like the president of China and that’s funny? Can you explain please, because I don’t really think I get the joke or the comparison? Tbh it feels weird that you picked a cartoon character with yellow skin though :/
