I tried it a few times recently when I’ve been down in the trenches of shitposting and it is very funny to make them try to explain their argument to you as if you have no idea what they’re saying. It’s so easy to bait them into thinking they’re about to bring up this amazing dunk about how China banned Winnie the Pooh or whatever and win you over, and then you get to just tell them that’s not true because you just looked it up plus now it feels racist.

A few years ago, I traced the original claim of it being banned to an article in Fortune or Forbes, or one of those sites for a paper magazine. And their reasoning for claiming it was banned is that, while it was still being shared, it wasn't as popular a few days later. tails-startled
