Oh it's 100% the brain worms they got from all the propaganda.
You can clearly see this when some post on r/gaming or r/pcmasterrace involves China and/or Tencent in any way. There's always blatant sinophobia, propaganda and racism mixed in there.
The weird thing is, that sentiment made it's way here in Brazil too. I don't really remember much since it was 10+ years ago, but I do recall anti-Baidu stuff on the internet, mostly calling it a computer virus and such and even about Tencent much more recently, although not a lot of stuff.
I also have seen gringos making some valid criticism about predatory monetization by Tencent, but it is usually followed with "China bad".

Well brazil has been a bastion of anticommunism in latin america so it makes sense that hate against anything coming from china gets promoted.
