Apparently, bringing up China being authoritarian is now “bigotry”. Makes sense now all those comments from .ml users that most people banned from .ml are for bigotry.

“Bigotry” = Anything negative about China or Russia now

    Apparently, bringing up China being authoritarian is now “bigotry”.

    I’ve noticed this lately in a lot of communities I’m in, most of which that have nothing to do with politics and are centered around Linux/technology. Why are people suddenly getting personally hurt over criticism against their government? Thats the wildest thing I’ve ever seen, and for some reason it’s becoming more of a thing.

      The funny thing is, it’s not even their government. They’re defending an idealized version that only exists in their heads. As far as I can tell, the primary developers are European.
