This is literally the georgy orwell book, uhhh 1984
wasn't it 1489?
More like 1488
Not to mention the fact that captain america isn't censored or anything in China.
If you changed up the colors on his shield just a little, he could easily be Captain DPRK.
And Captain America isn't just a superhero. He's literally, canonically a god, and the unquestioned defender of the entire universe!
When libs analyze a show like Squirrel and Hedgehog (a DPRK cartoon) down the individual pixels in order to prove just how propaganda it is, but apparently what Marvel has is 100% not propaganda?
Nooooo you see I, a Westerner, can think for myself and thereforeI am not influenced by propaganda. Chinese and North Korean people are just mindless drones that follow every single piece of propaganda.
What's also ironic is that they always say how violent Squirrel and Hedgehog is, and how it uses the trope of objective good vs objective evil, and the good guys always pull through. While conveniently not mentioning that Japanese anime from the same era has a similar level of violence (you know, the country right next to the DPRK and has quite a bit of cultural overlap?), or the fact that literally every kid show ever has the exact same simplified good vs evil message? The cartoon doesn't even mention any real countries! It's in a 100% fictional, fantasy setting!
Also, if you're going into college level literary analysis to draw comparisons between a cartoon for children and real life politics (like, young children, not high schoolers or some age where you'd actually expect them to understand real politics), aren't you basically saying that children in the DPRK are way smarter than Western children?
I don't know the show so I Googled it. It does look violent but then again a lot of shows I watched as a kid were violent to some extent. The thing with these people is that they want to see ghosts so badly that they start imagining them. It's the same people that say 'AT WHAT COST?' about every positive piece of news coming out of China/DPRK. They can't accept reality.
