What’s with all the downvotes?

Saw a few threads get blasted, and a de-federation post - did I miss the drama?

    I have absolutely no interest in dealing with people who think it’s okay for site moderators to remove any criticism of China because of “orientalism”

    I’m actually of two minds on this one

    to give them the benefit of the doubt, a lot of “criticism” of China often boils down to sinophobia and a lot of Western internet users do not seem to be able to tell the difference

      A lot of criticism about China is just racists being racist, which should definitely be called out.

      However, posts like this one describe policies that go far beyond that.
