    It’s because they’re both fat and have similar faces though. I never considered yellow. The Chinese use Pooh to make fun too. So I don’t think it actually meant racially.

      Maybe so. For many Pepe was just a frog.

      I don’t find much value in those kinds of portrayals to begin with, so I have a pretty low bar for defending their use.

        The only reason I use it is that it’s banned speech that is banned because it specifically hurts the feelings of a dictator enough to ban it. That is a huge plus for using Pooh Bear for me. Everyone should be able to call their leaders a shithead.
