Reminded me of this.

Artworks portraying a world where Soviet won the cold war. It has such obvious dystopian spin on the whole thing, but I don't think it has the intended effect on me.

All those look from pretty normal to very cool. Fun fact - even in cyberpunk anticommunist propaganda there are still clean streets without commercials everywhere. And cool murals.

I have some of them as my desktop wallpaper. Also this one:

Fun fact: Mulan, both versions, crashed and burned in Chinese theatres because actual Chinese people in China deemed it Orientalist.

Even the cartoon? I was under the impression it did well.

I think a lot of Chinese people were mad that the Eastern dragon, a revered diety in Chinese folklore, was depicted as this stupid comic relief. I know I was, am Chinese. Not sure if it actually resulted in it doing bad in the box office, but still.

Just imagine if a Chinese film depicted Jesus like that and how offended the West would be.

What exactly was the deal with this Mulan movie exactly? I haven't seen it but I vaguely remember liberal media freaking out over it when it released.

As someone who hasn't seen either of the versions, but just seen what people wrote about it. The live-action Mulan succeeds in her endeavours because she is the chosen one with magical powers, while in the original she did so through hard work and being clever.

China bad, therefore a movie which won't smash the mindless liberal horde with blatantly obvious sinophobia every second is bad too.

Not saying there is no sinophobia there, it's disney after all, but apparently it was not at the levels acceptable to libs.
