It's just scientific fact that they love being slaves to corporations unlike us, the proudly independent and individualistic Westerners

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

it also just depends on the word for some reason, english is very vibes based and inconsistent in its rules and connotations.
sounds decently normal
seems fine

This sounds weird and bad. Couldn't tell you why but it just sounds racist compared to the other ones.
I think any -ese demonym can't be turned into a noun without sounding off.
That feels like the correct take
Yeah, turns out the lingual patterns my grampa used to refer to Chinese and Japanese people is not great, in 2024.
edit: To be clear, he used different slurs, he wasn't so racist as to use the same slur for Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Laoceans, and island people.
