Not dissidents, just a harmless internet meme. Sometimes censors get a little sensitive about leadership which is annoying, but it never really stops the shitposting.
People using it in the west is racist though and removed from context that made it funny. Blown way out of proportion.
I can imagine most of the time people are just confused by some of the censorship. I saw one thread with Chinese citizens on twitter making fun of a superstition causing a censorship in a movie title. I think one of them said they weren't even sure if anyone who believed that was alive anymore.
[Sincere Post] I'm new to China discourse but didn't it start with like actual Chinese dissidents? Or is it western astrotrurfed stuff?

‘Dissidents’ is probably a bit too strong. People poking fun at their own government’s overzealous censorship would be a better description.
