What is China hoping to achieve with these goofy acts?

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

Have you ever had a bully almost but not quite hit you, instead hitting something else, but you react as if you were about to be hit and flinch. And then one day you flinch and hit your head on something, but the bully didn't hit you so they tell you it's not their fault. Or worse...you flinch and accidentally hit them lightly, and now they have an excuse to really hit you. Yeah...

Yeah, true, eye of the beholder.

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.
