dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Good thing it's labeled China or else I'd think he was knocking at the door to the Great Wall of Mexico.

Those typefaces are typically pretty racist too, I've seen some old signwriting books from the 50's where they had whacky names

[–] Thallo@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The whacky names were a choice on the part of the Chinese business owners who didn't want to seem threatening to white people

or they had to play into the orientalism to seem "authentic"

Well, the entire picture is wrong kinda. Fatphobic, stereotype of China being the great wall...
