I'm guessing that guy from that swords cartoon on Cartoon network that got caught with CP vs. say, the creator of Samurai Jack (even though it's simulated blood/ "oil")
edit: it was the creator of magiswords.
Edit 2: I accidentally said Jackie Chan instead of Samurai Jack and NONE of you corrected me. No more drunk comments. I did really like Jackie Chans' animated adventures, even though it was probably ccp propaganda.
Edit 3: "C C P" not "cop". I should've capitalized it. Didn't realize the "c" looked like an "o". Jackie Chan is a shill for the CCP. Still enjoy the old kungfu movies/ animation and think it's funny he's a porn star that worked in Hong Kong.
"Since 2013, Chan has been a pro-China politician, having served two terms as a delegate to the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's political advisory body and, in 2021, expressing his desire to join the Chinese Communist Party."
I mean, Jackie Chan adventures was badass. Who cares if it's coppaganda, if anything it's mostly just unfortunate Chan kinda fell from grace.
Now that I think of it, I think that Mike Tyson show might have also been riffing off it.
Sorry, I should have capitalized CCP. I didn't even think of that lol
That makes more sense. You know I don't think Jackie circa early 2000 was all that pro China. I think it ends up being one of those old age changes people. Or... concussions.
That's a show I haven't heard of in a long time lol. And rightfully so, it was so forgettable and only really existed to push a mobile game afaik. Then it just suddenly dropped off the face of the earth and now I know why.
They weren’t cops in Jackie Chan’s Animated Adventures, they’re like secret agents.
Chan plays a cop in the Police Story movies, which would be interesting to look at from a copaganda angle.
It says "ccp" but the "c" looks like an "o". I should've capitalized it.
Ah. I think Jackie Chan wasn’t really a CCP apologist/propagandist until the past ten years or so. He’s from Hong Kong - his movies are actually great to watch if you are learning Mandarin because of how simple his lines are, Mandarin wasn’t his first language. I’m not sure what changed, but being pro-CCP is a relatively new development.
Threats of violence
That's a fair point. I think he turned to the west when he needed leniency at a young age, and then then got more nationalistic as he got older. At the same time, it seems like the plan from the beginning was to retire in China, so it's a weird situation.
