I’ve never watched the referenced show, but I read over the TV Tropes page and I’m confused about why you think the page is full of racist / white supremacist content. It sounds like the show does, but the page itself is just a list of tropes that the show employs with a minimal amount of commentary.
Is it a white supremacist lie to say that the show uses this trope?
Is it racist to indicate that the show is racist and that it specifically uses these tropes (among others)?
The page is critical of the CCP (e.g., see the “Truth in Television” note on the “Commie Nazis” trope), which isn’t necessarily capitalist bootlicking, as plenty of people are critical of the CCP - but otherwise it doesn’t take a stance. It doesn’t explicitly criticize the show for having racist, nationalist, conservative content, but it also doesn’t endorse it. It doesn’t criticize communism, either; it simply says that the show is anti-communist.
What am I missing here?
Did you not read the notes? The page itself agrees with the show that China is a "totalitarian dictatorship" that acts like a "spoiled brat" that imprisons "muh Yoghurts".
Being critical of the CPC isn't the problem, the reasons and purpose of the show's and TV Tropes' page are. TV Tropes is notorious for spewing the same ass crackkker bullshit about socialist countries and their people being brainwashed, stupid and evil.
Edit: Wow, some Lemmy.world fascist bootlickers are really pissed off.
