chinese people are not going to idolize someone who uses violence against a figure of authority. being rich or a ceo in china is a state of higher morality. the jokes about luigi are closer to american culture, not chinese.
I just found this gem on REDnote
- Thats fucked up. Why the hell did they select the box with the top of Luigi's head?!?
  
  His hair is so perfect it's criminal.
- This one was already here 2-3 days ago i think. But still nice to see.
- No you didn't. What is this, a screenshot for ants?
That was the case on TikTok too
- It's not as though general public, and lemmy, want the health insurance industry protected more than the "necessity defense". Mainstream platforms censoring it is oligarchist empire protection they are allied to, just as we accuse all foreign media of government alliances.
- I think the point is that American users are discovering that Chinese users are obsessed with Luigi. On TikTok the two worlds didn't really collide. I saw a ton of Luigi fit selfies coming from Red Note Chinese netizens.
Their systems are slightly different so a local Luigi copycat would target someone else than an insurance CEO
