YouTube is deleting comments with two phrases that insult China’s Communist Party

Interesting,难道这也是政治正确的一部分?

YouTube is automatically deleting comments that contain certain Chinese-language phrases related to criticism of the country’s ruling Communist Party (CCP).

Comments left under videos or in live streams that contain the words “共匪” (“communist bandit”) or “五毛” (“50-cent party”) are automatically deleted in around 15 seconds, though their English language translations and Romanized Pinyin equivalents are not.

The term “共匪” is an insult that dates back to China’s Nationalist government, while “五毛,” (or “wu mao”) is a derogatory slang term for internet users paid to direct online discussion away from criticism of the CCP. The name comes from claims that such commenters are paid 50 Chinese cents per post.

当社会失序不公,打破秩序的小丑和维护秩序的蝙蝠侠谁才是英雄?

这个时候再看这篇影评,又得到了和去年不同的感受。

如果抽离开弥漫在哥谭空气中的系统暴力,《小丑》就沦为了一个可怜人如何被各种戏剧化的生活事件逼成反社会者的悲剧,但如果我们对小丑主观暴力的解放过程稍加关注,就会发现,这正是底层人民对系统暴力的绝望回击:当安分守己与勤奋工作无法阻止下沉,那么人们只能希望藉由让社会停转来遏制系统施加于个体的暴力。在某种程度上,单纯批判小丑暴力的影评人与片中的精英一样,只关注底层绝望的反击有多么可怕,却忘了真正残忍的暴力形式是以最隐蔽与最无害的形态运作的。

(略)

在银幕之外,我们所面对的现实比哥谭更正常、更公平、更不暴力吗?这或许是批评这部电影的评论者最深层的恐惧:哥谭是如此的真实,现实世界甚至比哥谭还要疯狂些……那么,正常人是否可能以“疯癫”为武器反抗?小丑是否可能从银幕中钻出,在现实中点燃焚城的大火?
