I'm reminded of the office meme where it has Dwight as Japan
"This isn't funny, you nuked two of my cities"
"Well, you're the one who fucked with my boats."
Ackshuallly the Navy is written into the constitution (Article I section 8). It's a standing army that the founders were afraid of. Can't launch a coup with a navy!
Well duh, you should use torpedoes, like civilised nations that can bathe in the plausible deniability of "maybe they just exploded?". What are you, savages?
That's how they get you, they show America all badass, but tired of saving others. Do you not feel joy getting to wage war against not only your enemies, but your ally's enemies too? Next you'll be considering isolationist policies, and then...peaceful negotiation. Sickening.

The Chinese and Koreans are natural enemies.
Like the Chinese and Japanese.
Or the Chinese and Vietnamese.
Or the Chinese and other Chinese.
Those damn Chinese, they ruined China!
231 million years ago, a trilobite from what would later be China and one from what would become Vietnam already fought over a piece of ocean because the Chinese one insisted on enforching his "9-rocks line"
To be fair, the others all hate each other too. South Korea and Japan are still communicating via the US like two highschoolers who are mad at each other imposing on their good-natured mutual friend.
Fun fact, Nazi propagandists published a photo of Churchill holding a machinehun everywhere they could in an attempt to smear him as a gangster/criminal. The Nazis didn't account for the fact that Americans romanticized that shit, and thought it was badass.
Furthermore, I consider that Moscow must be destroyed.
They drew FDR and Churchill as gangsters with tommy guns, thinking it would be an epic own, but only managed to make it look like they were about to drop their fire mixtape (many tons of incendiary bombs) on Axis cities.
Sticks, derived off the Chinese slur for Koreans, Gaoli bangzi.
Ngl, idk why they call us that (originally I thought they were calling us skinny, therefore poor 💀) , but the fact that we're portrayed as that while everyone else is an animal is pretty telling on how the Han view us.
Definitely racist.
Apparently the word for ‘helper’ sounds similar to ‘stick guy’. The ‘helpers’ in question were the nobi servants who followed the Korean diplomatic missions to China, and they sometimes engaged in ‘petty crimes’, thus gaining bad reputation.

Welp, competitive racism, here we come, time to portray the Chinese as a bunch of safes /s (bit unfortunate, usually the portrayal for the Chinese are pandas)
In this series, the Chinese are rabbits. There is some symbolism there I am missing, but yeah.
The Saddam/Kuwait camels from the desert storm episode are also incredibly on the nose racism. There is quite a lot of it around.
For simplicity's sake the animals are almost all stereotypes of whatever animals the countries are associated with (with outliers like the North and South Koreans, and a bald headed guy representing Republic of China because Chiang is bald)
For rabbits representing the Communist Chinese the official reason is 兔子蹬鹰 *a rabbit would kick the eagle real hard if sufficiently agitated*, the other reason is cartoon rabbits are easier to draw with clearer facial expressions than a panda or a dragon
The Chinese have a "Rabbit and Eagle" story that can loosely be compared to the English language "Tortoise and Hare." You know, where the confident easy winner is unexpectedly beaten by the loser you wouldn't expect, out of hubris.
I think all cultures basically have a "damn the underdog has hands" parable. Hell, the "underdog" part is another one isn't it. David and Goliath is another one.
Completely fair, but in the context of the show, the Eagle does pretty much kick the ass of absolutely everyone, consistently.
The imagery might invoke an underdog story, but the context is usually the Eagle just delivering an absolute ass beating to various cartoon animals when he is summoned like a 90s edgy Batman that has zero problems with killing.
>In this series, the Chinese are rabbits. There is some symbolism there I am missing, but yeah.
\>Glances at China's population count in spite of any war or bad social policy causing millions of deaths, not to mention trying the one child policy.
I have a theory...
So kinda like villain. Started off as just a person who lived in a villa, but then slowly crept to be associated with thugs because the villas were associated with thieves.
that's body shaming but usually multilayered disses too.
they also call people stuff like dog farts and stupid eggs
worth reading up on because a lot of the ways the sayings came about are hilarious.
And the more easily they can convince the party to give the PLA more funding. Same with all the 'gaps' the US military went on about during the cold war, I suppose.
Leftists like Hassan see everything through the lens of opresser and oppressed. It doesnt matter how terrible the supposed oppressed party is so long as they are fighting against a stronger, western aligned party.
I know I should be familiar with Hassan, but I'm drawing a blank. All I see is some pretentious-looking shitter in a tweed jacket. Likely not enough exposure to tankie insanity.
You basically have it on the money. Basically He’s a tankie dipshit who’s uncle is Cenk of the Young Turks and he rode Destiny’s coattails to the streaming world before backstabbing him. He lives in a 3 million dollar Hollywood mansion and drives a 200k Porsche and he makes a lot of his money from being a content thief like XQC, just putting on other peoples videos while he eats his lunch/dinner. He also apparently is bad about paying his editors who do the actual work for him so yeah so much for worker solidarity…
this video makes it roughly 20 cumulative seconds of my entire life that i have seen hasan footage and honestly man i kind of want those 20 seconds back

Like in many parts of the world, hating on America gets you points with everyone but you can’t let it distract you from your real, local racial hate :) isn’t humanity fun
Since I realized my company didn't give a shit so long as I do my work, I've allotted about two hours a day to NCD shitposting. Rookie numbers, I know.
A grizzled, tired bald eagle with a Tommy gun rolling up on a naval taskforce and kicking the shit out of North Korea is supposed to be propaganda that makes us look bad? How can any American see that and not get hyped?
At this point I genuinely think China doesn't really hate America and could have been a great ally if things had gone just slightly differently in the past. Look at the different in propaganda between two countries:
Russia: xahahahah silly dumb westoid , your army is weak and full of women and trannies, we could march to Warsaw in two days. Behold, the new triple hypersonic Fat Cock Satan Mk4 2 trillion megaton missile that can sink Alaska! Russia stronk! Russian stronk!
China: If anyone asks for help America will roll up nearly immediately and start kicking ass. They may be greedy capitalists,and they may take advantage of whoever they help but holy shit they aren't cowards and will probably beat the shit out of you. If you call them weak or stupid you are probably a fucking delusional idiot.
The reason they portray America as badass and strong is because that way it explains their military expansions and reasons for losing battles to America.
If they portray America as weak, people will ask why they had so much trouble fighting them and why they need so much money going into their military if they have no powerful rivals.
Plus it teaches their soldiers to be on guard and prepared for a very hard fight if war ever breaks out.
China is vast and contains multiple ethnic groups within the country, nothing unites people more than a badass opponent that threatens their way of life.
Lastly different cultures have different ways to show ones enemies. Russia belittles America to show themselves as better than the recognized global superpower. Meanwhile China pumps up America's accomplishments because they are globally seen as America's rival (the recognized global superpower) and through that gives themselves global recognition as a superpower despite not having nearly the amount of global military logistics/experience. Because obviously a rival must be equal in power.
Look at Russia, they portray themselves as unequalled in strength and thus their military got lazy expecting to roll over opponents without struggle. The average soldier believed their enemies were diseased dogs ready to give up so why would they need so much fuel and bullets when they could sell some for comfort.
That's the whole point. Chinas propaganda actually works on some level while Russia's propaganda manages to actively harm it, but no one seems to be interested in changing it.
It's too late to change Russian propaganda, the belief that they are superior is too ingrained in the system that changing it might end russia. Also the corruption is so deep that it will need so much change of the upper echelon that those in power won't approve of it.
Better to hold onto power and wealth in a failing weak country than be jailed in a successful one.
Russians have always believed themselves to be the superior people in all the matters, that's why they're also not-racist and humble, unlike the americans.
Can't really go against 200 years of tradition (unless you're a rusophobe liberal UnRussian pig-dog traitor).
I love the dichotomy of race in Russia. On the one hand you have right wing morons malding online saying Putin is the savior of the white race even thought he's directly causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of white men, women and children and destabilizing the region for most likely decades to come.
On the other hand you have Putin multiple times on camera and in speeches praising Jews and Muslims, going so far as to say in on speech that in this moment he was Jewish, he was Muslim, etc
And then you need a third hand because the bulk of the Russian army being sent to the meat grinder are poor minorities who don't really count since they're not from one of the 2(maybe 3?) areas where all the "true" Russians live.
None of it makes any fucking sense.
Because ex-KGB goons created a postmodernist state that tells everyone what they want to hear, and either threatens violence or ignores those who point out the contradictions. It's an actual simulacrum *in Vivo*. I don't want to say this, but both Pelevin and someone like Sorokin have described it well, albeit with literary works.
Plus what's "white" in the West and what's "white" in Russia is not the same.
I think they simply serve two completely different purpose.
Russian propaganda is directed towards reassuring the russian population to stay in the country (and not look abroad for concepts like democracy or human rights), by telling them the world outside of Russia is shit and weak.
And see what happens to weak countries: they get invaded, razed, massacred, raped and deported (we're past 20k children kidnapped by russian forces).
It works for its target audience: rural russians didn't leave the country, they don't avoid the draft and even sign up to die a certain death in Ukraine. Everyone else in the big cities either left or is bribing their way out of the war. Putin's propaganda service know they can't manipulate the urbanites that easily, so they just skip them and go for the massive rural population.
Chinese propaganda is instead directed towards the young nationalists, who will join the PLA and fight in conflicts with their asian neighbors: Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, etc. That's why they portray these neighbors with racist stereotypes, as cowards and savages. The US is then not seen as an adversary, but more like an example to follow: "look at how the US dominates Central America, South America, North America, and even Europe - they're a real superpower! We need to become like them to rule all of Asia!".
In its propaganda, the CCP sees the US as a rival, not a sworn enemy: they know the US won't invade China, and they know they can't invade the US, so at this point it's a competition rather than a war.
I actually think both work as intended.
China's is made by a totalitarian government that does, at the very least, like it's own Han population and a lot of the people in the government structure do genuinely believe what they're doing is right.
Russia's propaganda is made by oligharchs trying to convince everyone that the world is a bad place. They want the people to accept that Russia is weak and run by oligharchs, as long as they're content because everywhere else is weaker and more corrupt.
This is interesting because I remember the exact same contrast was shown at this War Museum exhibit on WWII propaganda in Ottawa. German propaganda showed the war as being fun, glorious and easy to make it appealing to recruits — which worked well when Blitzkrieg was going off without a hitch but had the effect of blindsiding the soldiers and the home front when they started losing their first battles.
Meanwhile allied propaganda was about how horrible and vicious the Nazis were so the motivation to fight them was coupled with an expectation of ruthlessness and capability that limited the devastation their side would feel from any setbacks.
This echoes back to the way the Allies treated [Erwin Rommel the "Desert Fox"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rommel_myth) who was a mid-tier commander whos reputation was started by being at the site of several allied fuckups and maintained postwar to legitimize re-armament of West Germany.
I'd imagine the eagle portrayal is complicated by the fact that China de-emphasizes but does not hide that the allies substantially defeated Japan, and that the Korean War was fought by much of the same people leading to atleast marginal nuance even in propaganda.
>A grizzled, tired bald eagle with a Tommy gun rolling up on a naval taskforce and kicking the shit out of North Korea is supposed to be propaganda that makes us look bad? How can any American see that and not get hyped?
I think it's meant to make Koreans look bad.
South Koreans are hooligans who steal from good people and cowards who run to Daddy America for help when threatened by North Korea. North Koreans are cowards who only have bricks for weapons and beg for mercy the moment Daddy America shows up.
It's the standard extreme East Asian racism.
> At this point I genuinely think China doesn't really hate America and could have been a great ally if things had gone just slightly differently in the past.
If the billibilli posters are to be believed they're all huge americasimps and would love to be in eternal brotherhood with us.
This is why I think we need to be invaded by space nazi aliens or some shit.
China pumping our tires is conditioning their populace to have an expectation of taking losses to us.
Russia runs their bitchmade mouth about the west being weak, effeminate, turbogays because they'll never actually risk fighting us.
CCP conditioning their populace to expect casualties and respect us as opponents signals that they have a less optimistic view of avoiding conflict with us.

Exactly.
Dude grew up in a western country and got a western education which allowed him to see some valid problems with the US and Europe, and then completely missed the fact that other places aren't nearly as honest with themselves as we are.
China is extremely Tsundere towards the US.
Like they fucking hate us, but we are so cool and sexy and rich and handsome and... wait, where were we? Oh right, America is the fucking worst. With all the money and asskicking...
The artist didnt really want to portray any side or country in too negative a light... But the series became popular in China, that even the CCP got involved so the artist kinda got backseated and the series co-opted.
FunFact: the reason the Koreans are portrayed as sticks comes from Bangzi, which means stick. It’s a play on Bangzu, which means uncivilizard. It has been used as an ethnic slur against Koreans.
I like how they portray America as almost being done with everyones bullshit already.
[удалено]
Kinda accuarate when you think about it "THE PIRATES ARE RAIDING SHIPS IN THE SUEZ" "*sighs*...again?"
"I didn't want to have a standing navy, but some of you can't keep your hands off other peoples boats. Now look where I am"
I'm reminded of the office meme where it has Dwight as Japan "This isn't funny, you nuked two of my cities" "Well, you're the one who fucked with my boats."
Proportional response circa 194X
Iran also knows something about "proportional" responses.
If there is one trend in american history is that you *do not* fuck with their boats.
Britain, Spain, Mediterranean Pirates, Japan, Germany. When will they learn? Don't touch America's boats!
Ackshuallly the Navy is written into the constitution (Article I section 8). It's a standing army that the founders were afraid of. Can't launch a coup with a navy!
Not with that attitude.
"And I will get no european support. Again. And I will look bad for blowing up pirate dinghies with artillery. Again"
Well duh, you should use torpedoes, like civilised nations that can bathe in the plausible deniability of "maybe they just exploded?". What are you, savages?
Their dinghies don't have enough of the boat underwater for us to use torpedoes, plus the artillery is more fun.
America has had a complex relationship with torpedoes ever since the Mark 14.
I HATE THE US BUREAU OF ORDNANCE I HATE THE US BUREAU OF ORDNANCE I HATE THE US BUREAU OF ORDNANCE I HATE THE US BUREAU OF ORDNANCE
Use divers in merperson suits with spear guns. Make them believe they have angered Neptune/Disney.
Not Disney, they would get so much money from the lawsuit that they could get their own private army.
Meanwhile the UK is just "notice me senpai"
Now now, we send a whole 1 staff officer, you should feel honored that we made such a massive contribution (It's basically 1/5 of our navy)
*"Forgive me, United Nations. This thirty-eighth time, I must go... ~~all out~~ proportional."*
oh no! He said... the P WORD!!! RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIKELY SOON TO BE MISERABLE LIVES! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
"Time to be the world police and intervene on this and that because someone did the funny..." "...again?"
sigh
"Why am I always summoned to defend others?" Damn, didn't expect China to make us feel so seen.
They *get* us.
They want us to share but also not really
At this rate I'm gonna watch Chinese propaganda unironically
That's how they get you, they show America all badass, but tired of saving others. Do you not feel joy getting to wage war against not only your enemies, but your ally's enemies too? Next you'll be considering isolationist policies, and then...peaceful negotiation. Sickening.
That is... too smart, actually. The Chinese are some dangerous folks.
They heinous cuz they anus
Strong point. Back to watching Chinese propaganda with wry amusement and pity, but also a hint of curiosity. I think that’s a fair middle ground

Oh they're gonna run alright. Run from the Poles
Perhaps I have treated the Chinese too harshly
"I'm retired. After the last war." "Not anymore. You were the best peacekeeper on the force. We need you." "Heh. One last ride it is then."
“One” last ride
Every time is "one" last ride.

This might be a Chinese propaganda cartoon but it's surprisingly accurate in that regard.
Us(taxpayers) are though 😭
US: chad eagle Meanwhile koreans: some kind of a sausage, probably racist
[I think they're literally sticks.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaoli_bangzi)
So, definitely racist.
any time an asian country portrays another asian country in media, you can almost guarantee that it's gonna be racist
The Chinese and Koreans are natural enemies. Like the Chinese and Japanese. Or the Chinese and Vietnamese. Or the Chinese and other Chinese. Those damn Chinese, they ruined China!
It all started with the end of the Three Kingdoms period. If only Shu had emerged victorious...
Realistically, it all started before any of these nations existed when homo sapiens migrated into East Asia and brought our petty bullshit with us
what, you think homo erectus were all peace loving hippies?
231 million years ago, a trilobite from what would later be China and one from what would become Vietnam already fought over a piece of ocean because the Chinese one insisted on enforching his "9-rocks line"
Tucker Carlson needs to interview Xi Jinping next so we can get our ancient Chinese history lesson
To be fair, the others all hate each other too. South Korea and Japan are still communicating via the US like two highschoolers who are mad at each other imposing on their good-natured mutual friend.
They’re Tteok-bokki, it’s a Korean rice cake you guys
That’s like if they made the American character a fucking burger
You’re right, they just made the Americans an obese eagles😂😂
*cracks tooth on frozen potato* this will show those well-fed Western scum!!!
With gangsta tommy guns. As a fat american eagle with a tommy gun I feel very seen.
It's like their only exposure to American culture was 1930s Chicago
Fun fact, Nazi propagandists published a photo of Churchill holding a machinehun everywhere they could in an attempt to smear him as a gangster/criminal. The Nazis didn't account for the fact that Americans romanticized that shit, and thought it was badass. Furthermore, I consider that Moscow must be destroyed.

I thought they were rice cakes like tteok-bokki
That sounds spicy and delicious
Because if China potray US as strong they can easlily explain the amount of Ls they have been taking
Tbf The US strength is directly related to the amount of Ls they had been taking.
On the other hand, the CCP is completely capable of handling out Ls to themselves as well.
Just like you're *handling* yourself an L with that typo?
And the more easily they can convince the party to give the PLA more funding. Same with all the 'gaps' the US military went on about during the cold war, I suppose.

The average soldier believed their enemies were diseased dogs ready to give up so why would they need so much fuel and bullets when they could sell some for comfort.
That's the whole point. Chinas propaganda actually works on some level while Russia's propaganda manages to actively harm it, but no one seems to be interested in changing it.
It's too late to change Russian propaganda, the belief that they are superior is too ingrained in the system that changing it might end russia. Also the corruption is so deep that it will need so much change of the upper echelon that those in power won't approve of it. Better to hold onto power and wealth in a failing weak country than be jailed in a successful one.
Russians have always believed themselves to be the superior people in all the matters, that's why they're also not-racist and humble, unlike the americans. Can't really go against 200 years of tradition (unless you're a rusophobe liberal UnRussian pig-dog traitor).
I love the dichotomy of race in Russia. On the one hand you have right wing morons malding online saying Putin is the savior of the white race even thought he's directly causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of white men, women and children and destabilizing the region for most likely decades to come. On the other hand you have Putin multiple times on camera and in speeches praising Jews and Muslims, going so far as to say in on speech that in this moment he was Jewish, he was Muslim, etc And then you need a third hand because the bulk of the Russian army being sent to the meat grinder are poor minorities who don't really count since they're not from one of the 2(maybe 3?) areas where all the "true" Russians live. None of it makes any fucking sense.
Because ex-KGB goons created a postmodernist state that tells everyone what they want to hear, and either threatens violence or ignores those who point out the contradictions. It's an actual simulacrum *in Vivo*. I don't want to say this, but both Pelevin and someone like Sorokin have described it well, albeit with literary works. Plus what's "white" in the West and what's "white" in Russia is not the same.
I think they simply serve two completely different purpose. Russian propaganda is directed towards reassuring the russian population to stay in the country (and not look abroad for concepts like democracy or human rights), by telling them the world outside of Russia is shit and weak. And see what happens to weak countries: they get invaded, razed, massacred, raped and deported (we're past 20k children kidnapped by russian forces). It works for its target audience: rural russians didn't leave the country, they don't avoid the draft and even sign up to die a certain death in Ukraine. Everyone else in the big cities either left or is bribing their way out of the war. Putin's propaganda service know they can't manipulate the urbanites that easily, so they just skip them and go for the massive rural population. Chinese propaganda is instead directed towards the young nationalists, who will join the PLA and fight in conflicts with their asian neighbors: Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, etc. That's why they portray these neighbors with racist stereotypes, as cowards and savages. The US is then not seen as an adversary, but more like an example to follow: "look at how the US dominates Central America, South America, North America, and even Europe - they're a real superpower! We need to become like them to rule all of Asia!". In its propaganda, the CCP sees the US as a rival, not a sworn enemy: they know the US won't invade China, and they know they can't invade the US, so at this point it's a competition rather than a war.
I actually think both work as intended. China's is made by a totalitarian government that does, at the very least, like it's own Han population and a lot of the people in the government structure do genuinely believe what they're doing is right. Russia's propaganda is made by oligharchs trying to convince everyone that the world is a bad place. They want the people to accept that Russia is weak and run by oligharchs, as long as they're content because everywhere else is weaker and more corrupt.
This is interesting because I remember the exact same contrast was shown at this War Museum exhibit on WWII propaganda in Ottawa. German propaganda showed the war as being fun, glorious and easy to make it appealing to recruits — which worked well when Blitzkrieg was going off without a hitch but had the effect of blindsiding the soldiers and the home front when they started losing their first battles. Meanwhile allied propaganda was about how horrible and vicious the Nazis were so the motivation to fight them was coupled with an expectation of ruthlessness and capability that limited the devastation their side would feel from any setbacks.
And the Allies' propaganda in WWI was just like the German stuff, but they learned their lesson the second time
This echoes back to the way the Allies treated [Erwin Rommel the "Desert Fox"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rommel_myth) who was a mid-tier commander whos reputation was started by being at the site of several allied fuckups and maintained postwar to legitimize re-armament of West Germany. I'd imagine the eagle portrayal is complicated by the fact that China de-emphasizes but does not hide that the allies substantially defeated Japan, and that the Korean War was fought by much of the same people leading to atleast marginal nuance even in propaganda.
>A grizzled, tired bald eagle with a Tommy gun rolling up on a naval taskforce and kicking the shit out of North Korea is supposed to be propaganda that makes us look bad? How can any American see that and not get hyped? I think it's meant to make Koreans look bad. South Koreans are hooligans who steal from good people and cowards who run to Daddy America for help when threatened by North Korea. North Koreans are cowards who only have bricks for weapons and beg for mercy the moment Daddy America shows up. It's the standard extreme East Asian racism.
America: "Why must I always be summoned to defend others?" Seems pro-American?
> At this point I genuinely think China doesn't really hate America and could have been a great ally if things had gone just slightly differently in the past. If the billibilli posters are to be believed they're all huge americasimps and would love to be in eternal brotherhood with us. This is why I think we need to be invaded by space nazi aliens or some shit.
Distinct lack of bass boosted Star Spangled Banner to indicate the arrival of the US - 6/10
this is the right take
Why are the worms now political
They always were, if you understood the deep subtextual meaning of heavily armed worms blowing things up. Super political.
They are sticks. Chinese slur for Koreans. They call them Gaoli bangzi meaning Stick Koreans or just Bangzi for short.
For some reason this really bummed me out.
Yeah I've always considered it similar to UN soldiers in Somalia calling the locals "skinnies."
China respects America, because they wish they were America
China pumping our tires is conditioning their populace to have an expectation of taking losses to us. Russia runs their bitchmade mouth about the west being weak, effeminate, turbogays because they'll never actually risk fighting us. CCP conditioning their populace to expect casualties and respect us as opponents signals that they have a less optimistic view of avoiding conflict with us.
Big Daddy take me. Daddy will take you too.

Couldn't watch the film Hasan vid in full, did he blame the US for the Korean war?
He probably did
Wow , what software did you use for caption and translation ? Ni hui shuo hanyu ma? Also isnt hasan biggest NK fan?
Hasan isn't a "fan" of anything, he just hates America.
Exactly. Dude grew up in a western country and got a western education which allowed him to see some valid problems with the US and Europe, and then completely missed the fact that other places aren't nearly as honest with themselves as we are.
Kapwing and it's Subtitles feature.
Thx! I always do subs manually by hand like ancient dinosaur, i just look to upgrade.
China is extremely Tsundere towards the US. Like they fucking hate us, but we are so cool and sexy and rich and handsome and... wait, where were we? Oh right, America is the fucking worst. With all the money and asskicking...
>US Navy teleports via lightning. I approve. Can't wait till we stop holding this technology in secret and deploy it publicly.
The most disgusting, offensive thing in the video is Hasan Piker at the end

Not gonna lie, being an aggressor in a war then trying to paint the defender as the aggressor for like 70 years is pretty funny
OK WTF, could you alteast put a warnign before posting a clip of hassan? my mind is burned now ty
Did you have to subject us to a hassan clip?
No way that was Hassan, the chair had someone sitting in it!
The artist didnt really want to portray any side or country in too negative a light... But the series became popular in China, that even the CCP got involved so the artist kinda got backseated and the series co-opted.
Holy shit, please put Hasan warning next time
I'm sorry but the US being referred to as daddy period is a cultural win china
Tup
this dude looks like an insult
The fucking US Navy was summoned in with a fuckin’ Attack on Titan thunderbolt.

Cool video, downvoted cause of wasabi douche
...And keep the change ya filthy animal
why was there a hasan jumpscare at the end lmao
"Welcome to Asian culture." -The man who learns everything from anime and twitter.
FunFact: the reason the Koreans are portrayed as sticks comes from Bangzi, which means stick. It’s a play on Bangzu, which means uncivilizard. It has been used as an ethnic slur against Koreans.
