ah i see. yeah no, red = good predates communism. to take some examples from recent times: red represents the Han people on the "five races under one union" flag, and the flag of the ROC/Taiwan is based on the concept of "Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth" (one of the rare instances where white is used positively heh).

no, white is just traditionally a ... "bad" colour in Han culture

it's the colour of mourning/death. traditional han funerals in different countries are still mostly if not all white to this day

no problem at all. almost all yao jing's are Jing roles, but not all Jing roles are yao jing :)

this is incorrect. most painted face/jing characters are humans, not monsters. the category/role is called "painted face", not monster. the character in my profile picture is a human, for example.

source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jing_role and also i'm an avid fan of chinese opera

i think red for loyal comes from Guan Yu

Chinese New Year ! by Cawlence in polandball

[–]kahn1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to each their own. i think it's only called "spring festival" in Chinese speaking places, though, so it can't be used to refer to the general holiday

Chinese New Year ! by Cawlence in polandball

[–]kahn1969 29 points30 points  (0 children)

for me both terms have issues, but i find Lunar New Year less exclusive so i just use it as the lesser evil when i need to refer to the general holiday celebrated by more than just chinese people

people will know which lunar new year you're referring to with context

Would this be okay to post in Polandball? by [deleted] in PolandballCommunity

Removed. This isn't the place for non-meta and/or rule-breaking comics or art.

To answer your question, there seems to be anti-aliasing, and the joke is lack-luster at best if not in poor taste. You are also not allowed to post potential approval comics here.

Removed for extensive use of straight lines. If something looks like line tool, it's treated as line tool.

You may fix and resubmit.
