Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You mean mainland Taiwan?

Taiwan is the island, the nation is the RoC

You see, there are these concepts called "sarcastic humour" and "memes"

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh? So explain the joke then.

China claims Taiwan is theirs, the joke is to flip that and say China is Taiwans. Pretty easy stuff

Edit: And before you say your point still stands, people usually dont care about technicalities when it comes to jokes and memes, unless the technicality IS the joke or meme

But the RoC does claim that mainland China is theirs... They don't call it Taiwan though, because Taiwan is the island.

Ok, but when someone calls China "West Taiwan", they ARENT refrencing politics, they are meming against China

Lmao you tankies are WILD with the way you view the world.

edit: I KNEW you were trying the old "Make them explain the joke so they realise its garbage" technique. The thing is, I explained it. That was it, its a reversal joke. There was no bigotry or chauvinism involved.
