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

Whats with China and communist bunnies??! doggirl-tears

They're from Year Hare Affair which is a Chinese animation depicting China's relationships with other countries (eagle and bear) through the cold war period. It's a fun show.

China likes to depict China as a bunny.

Year Hare Affair is cute, though its anthropomorphizing/personification can get a bit problematic (regarding depicting Koreans as an ethnic slur) as well as misrepresenting/simplifying soviet assistance to China (there's a subplot about China having to invent nuclear weapons in spite of the USSR).

The show is still somehow going strong knight-nod

(there's a subplot about China having to invent nuclear weapons in spite of the USSR).

As I understand it, the Chinese were promised support in developing their nuclear program including a prototype but the USSR ended up only providing one single lecture which had incomplete information. Sino-Soviet split stuff that China is still salty about.

That sounds about right. It's mostly that year hare affair can get nationalistic at points, which, for a webseries started by one guy, is pretty tame.
