Of all the stupid things gamers do and believe in, their rabid anti-China hysteria might be the dumbest, it's just pure performative anti-communism and racism

    Luke being bullied by the alien guy at the Cantina in star wars but instead of him gloating about being wanted dead in so many star systems it's a G*mer saying they're banned from China for posting Winnie The Pooh memes.

      Me spending a decade reposting a meme of a Chinese guy with yellow skin walking with a [t]igger is in no way racist, I don't know what you're talking about.

        Didn't the meme originate on the Chinese internet? I assumed that in its original Chinese context the joke was just how similar the photo looks to the drawing

          It did, but your order of operations is reversed: the drawing was made specifically for the photo, and was mostly really popular in Hong Kong.

          Along with what Thordros said, the "joke" was less that Xi looks like winnie and more that he must be winnie because Obama is......well you can guess. It is predicated on calling him a slur
