Sorry I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I thought you were using a silly and unreasonable example that would only happen online to quickly refer to a type of comment. Which the comrade up the thread just referred to as “sinophobic” in the question you were answering.

I’m referring to “Tiananmen” because the user you’re talking about was replying to my comment that was specifically about that incident. My original comment was exaggerated for a joke, obviously, it has a shining-eyes Mao emoji in it lol.

However, I have in fact had people bring up sinophobic shit to me in conversations (not specifically Tiananmen, it’s usually more general “Chinese are spying on me” shit or some Hong Kong nonsense), and I have in fact told them that the Chinese government isn’t concerned with us and they should worry about our own government which is trampling our rights constantly. I also do have friends who would understand what being called a “redditor” means in this context, and I obviously wouldn’t say that to someone who doesn’t because that would be ridiculous.

When someone says sinophobic shit, I stand by the response of “it’s weird to be so fixated on China, you should probably worry about our own country” instead of trying to point-by-point debunk whatever ridiculous propaganda they’ve dreamed up. People are actually just being massive racist weirdos with the China obsession, I really don’t understand how it makes me a “crackpot weirdo” to point that out to them.
