I’ve never watched the referenced show, but I read over the TV Tropes page and I’m confused about why you think the page is full of racist / white supremacist content. It sounds like the show does, but the page itself is just a list of tropes that the show employs with a minimal amount of commentary.
Is it a white supremacist lie to say that the show uses this trope?
Is it racist to indicate that the show is racist and that it specifically uses these tropes (among others)?
The page is critical of the CCP (e.g., see the “Truth in Television” note on the “Commie Nazis” trope), which isn’t necessarily capitalist bootlicking, as plenty of people are critical of the CCP - but otherwise it doesn’t take a stance. It doesn’t explicitly criticize the show for having racist, nationalist, conservative content, but it also doesn’t endorse it. It doesn’t criticize communism, either; it simply says that the show is anti-communist.
What am I missing here?
Did you not read the notes? The page itself agrees with the show that China is a "totalitarian dictatorship" that acts like a "spoiled brat" that imprisons "muh Yoghurts".
Being critical of the CPC isn't the problem, the reasons and purpose of the show's and TV Tropes' page are. TV Tropes is notorious for spewing the same ass crackkker bullshit about socialist countries and their people being brainwashed, stupid and evil.
Edit: Wow, some Lemmy.world fascist bootlickers are really pissed off.
I did, and if your complaint is just that the page insults the Chinese government, you should edit the post title to say as much. But as it is, that is not what it says. So if you stand by what you wrote, please quote three examples each of the page’s:
content. I would ask for just one, but you said it’s “astounding” how much of it there was, so asking for three seems appropriate.
What is this lib shit? If they write unironically about organ harvesting, FLG and Tibet in the second paragraph of the intro, they're a bunch of racist white edgelords.
"If you dare write about <insert thing that undenyingly happened> you are racist".
Soon you'll say nothing particular happened in Tiananmen Square either.
It's undeniable that China rescued Tibet from feudal pedophiliac slave-owning landlords, and it's also undeniable that Falun Gong claimed that their organs are being harvested, despite no proof whatsoever, that numerous independent and foreign doctors testified couldn't have occurred in the manner as described, and it's undeniable that you believe everything you read instead of checking your sources and interrogating potential bias and and blindly accepting what the U.S. government-owned western news media tells you to believe.
You're strawmanning, but if you must know, what happened in Tiny-Man Square was a coup-attempt that cost hundreds of lives of civilians after some violent gang members and misled protestors began to attack and stab and burn and shoot unarmed peacekeepers, and the police and military were called in to evacuate civilians, and even the goddamn New York Times admitted mere days after the fact that no massacre occurred inside the square, it wasn't the police or military who started the fighting, the violence happened in surrounding streets, and that the tanks were rolling back to the square instead of going to it.
It's not fundamentally racist to insist the Tiananmen Square massacre happened, even though it's 90 percent horseshit, but it is racist to use it as proof that Chinese people are brainwashed mindless drones because of it.
I just gave you multiple examples in multiple, but especially one of my comments, you capitalist bootlicker. Your smarmy smugness and aloof-acting nature is hypocritical and disgusting. You are spewing racist bullshit and denying it's racist.
