China are simply manufacturing outrage so they justify whatever devious moves they carry out next

Athlete:Ah sweet an article about me!! CCP:This is bad look how ugly they are!! Athlete: *mckayla marony face*
PrfctDrk
Don't be ugly
Pally01
CCP: Pay no attention to the lesbian soccer player and be outraged about this nontroversy please.
ProbablyPoe
But, but that's the face of gold, right? What it's supposed to look easy?
Martellus
They wanted something like this

Yeah, why don't they smile and look happy when they lift at max effort? /S

Snowflakes.

To me it shows determination and strength !! Both good characteristics in an Olympic athlete.
somebodythatyouusetoknow
The picture appears to be of the winning lift. News sites always seem try to show the winning action. China is such a damn snowflake.
HonestCommentFarmer
You have to be to keep an authoritarian grip on your people. No one's ever heard of a successful, tolerant dictator.
TheFastpaws
China is such a fucking snowflake.

We wouldn't want to post any unflattering pictures of China, like this Uyghur prison camp
Gosuamakenatek
Rounding up muslums and throwing them into prison camps?? How dare china steal america's idea!
TarrkertheNewt
Real talk, tho. How was that picture even taken?
urakunt
It was in Chinese news and Western news cropped the watermark off.
Fauxcused
China is asshole.
TremendousDude5
China's astronomical inferiority complex is simply amazing, they are Asia's orange cheetos.

everything is an insult in the eyes of china except for themselvs.

If they weren't engaged in active genocide and threatening their neighbors, West Taiwan's whining and touchiness would be amusing.
elbowdeepinadictator
West Taiwan...lol
TheWhiteBarry
Yeah keep calling it a genocide, lying about the facts is sure to win some hearts. Fuck, manufactured consent works so well on you rubes
highlikeacrow
That CCP boot must taste pretty good for you to say stupid shit like that.
jetflight
Do they pay you per comment, or ... ?
viscule
Is this what being braindead looks like?
JamesJimNightshade
Not only genocides, West Taiwan also does massacres, for example Tiananmen square massacre

No, but if we acknowledged it, the shareholders might lose some profit ://// /s

She looks like a weightlifter. Like, she's killing it. If they hadn't pointed out it was an 'unflattering' photo I wouldn't have thought it.
FussyZeus
Ya know I was going to make a joke about if women don't look fuckable at all times people won't know they're women but then someone 1/
FussyZeus
down below actually commented that and now I'm just depressed. 2/2
lljkstonefish
That's a she? I wouldn't have guessed.
lljkstonefish
Quick, everyone downvote the guy who can't correctly identify the gender of someone gurning.
Pimparoo3
The headline saying she won wouldn't give you any hints?
Gleipner
Where does it say she?
Pimparoo3
Yea it doesn't say it, that's my bad, knee jerk reaction to the amount of stupidity here by adding my own.
Blumberton
yep. thats the face of someone giving their all in my eyes.
5GFPLaqZ4nAy2QwrqOEI
i don't see someone ugly. i see someone go all out. china gov't have some big issues.
confanity
I feel like it's a super common trope that authoritarian regimes only allow themselves to be represented by scary-big smiles.
JeremyPeevin
1/2 Imagine this: you work for the Chinese Department of Propaganda but realize they're full if shit. So you try to constantly find a way to
JeremyPeevin
2/2 subversively phrase your propaganda that shows how hypocritical your nation is without seeming overtly critical.

jennym123
Exactly! He's making a funny face, so what? This is a common sports meme. I'd consider this a badge of honor if it were me.
foodislifefoodislove
Think that is a lady
jennym123
Oh FFS. I feel silly now :(
QuackWok
That's the face of a man staring impossibility in the eye and saying no...fuck you... I WILL do this.
JimboTCB
I was thinking it was more the face of someone trying to lift twice their body weight over their head without blowing out their ringpiece
GaoFighGar
This was women's weightlifting
Gravitonium
Oof
QuackWok
I honestly only glanced at the photo... but lol wow I kinda feel like a dick now
GerhardRammelhausen
Yep, that statement reads as if they think the athlete is actually ugly.
abobeaver5772
China is very image obsessed. Although, if you don't have strong backing being very attractive is a curse. I've read too many refugee
abobeaver5772
Applications of very attractive young ladies that were passed around by the rich second generations and found only mockery and violence
abobeaver5772
When they reported. I cant imagine the number that don't make it out
Tigersterne
Yeah, definitely an own goal on that
Juicemaloose
Well Beijing they featured a lipsyncing little girl singing some tradish song while the actual girl singing was off camera as she wasn't 1/2

"Cute enough" to be on screen herself. Absolute garbage govt. 2/2
BishlamekGurpgork
China enforces their appearance. If you ever watch animation made in China, it's like power-rangers level of "I need to look good while I >
BishlamekGurpgork
save the world, or it isn't worth saving!"
BishlamekGurpgork
(To be fair, I've only watched a couple, though, and only one recently.)
DynamaxAgumon
If you watch pretty much any animated movie on Netflix these days it's from China lol.
5GFPLaqZ4nAy2QwrqOEI
yeah what's with the influx of chinese movies in netflix? i mean nothing against chinese but aren't all chinese companies linked to ccp?
BishlamekGurpgork
Some funded by, but there are a fair number of made-in from China on there now, too.
AlexSkullUterna
Meanwhile on the newspaper owned by CCP:
DracKing
China Daily! Lol and they complained about others
gtollie
Exactly .. seems like the Chinese embassy in Sri Lanka wants to make a name for themselves by taking on a western news organization.
Havok707
Double standards are standard operating procedures in any propaganda machine.
esopillar34
Like, is the difference that you see the barbell, so you can "tell" they're lifting a heavy weight? Maybe the CCP think everyone is stupid.
Euchre
Think? Hope, expect, and prefer to keep everyone stupid, you mean.
thelaaaaaw
oh so the Chinese Ambassy are also criticizing the Chinese goverment media. That's going to go well for them
MrListerTheFirst
Oh look, they have their facts wrong.
DigiT00l
It looks like the same picture
gtollie
C’mon the bar is clearly higher in the 2nd picture. Typical American news organization, always setting the bar too low for the Chinese

KoolInternetCat
Whenever the CCP talks about biased media
severice
can we start a game where someone says ccp and someone else correctd them saying roc, then they get corrected proc, gproc, ect ect.
Freak0zoid
You can’t do that
AxelBeingCivil
Game knows game.
ethannguyen357
I mean, to be fair, western media is generally pretty biased against China. Like we hear all the time about uiyghurs being imprisoned 1/?
ethannguyen357
In China, but we never are never reminded that, despite having less than a quarter the population, the US has more imprisoned people. We 2/3
ethannguyen357
Imprison more black people than the Chinese do Muslims! 3/3
TheRealArclight
fuck off china bot...

They aren't Complaining, they are grading. F-
Insomnia297
Accuse others of that which you are guilty. Sounds familiar.
RichardPOsterior
CCP can go fuck themselves with broken glass and razor blades.
HandiCaptain
Fuck the CCP. All my homies hate the CCP.
Avialle
Yea, like 2 countrys with completely biased media fight who's worse. Yea, I know US got 2 opinions instead of 1.
PaintedSlate
Accuse others of what you are doing is a core rule. It still works.
Avialle
Oh the irony.
PaintedSlate
What do you mean?
TooMuchTim
Whataboutism. Absolutely their go to.

You can expect it anywhere, but to various degrees. If we can't distinguish them, we've been utterly defeated by the tactic.

The first results I found when looking up winning moments in the Olympics pretty much all show people with some kind of crazy face.
MorrowDisca
BBC sport had a long tradition of showing Premier League footballers in unflattering poses, but it seems to have stopped recently. Shame.

BryanLaserEpee
Or they zoom in on someone like Dubrovich as she's crying after losing.
AxelBeingCivil
This is Reuters' Twitter. Their tweets about other athletes winning are usually holding their medals or congratulating each other, not (1)
AxelBeingCivil
the actual competition. I'm not a fan of saying this is ugly, but even a cursory glance suggests a difference. (2)
SomeDetroitGuy
Just did a quick look and I saw Ladecky in the pool, US gymnasts on the podium, Biles crying, and a video that was just a series of Osaka
SomeDetroitGuy
disappointed with her surprising loss. Then like a dozen other pics of Biles.
ChainmailleAddict
1/2 Not gonna lie though, they kinda have a point. Whenever I see articles about protesting for human rights, they always make it a point
ChainmailleAddict
to show off pictures of blue-haired androgynous protestors to basically put boomers on high alert. "Those younguns are unreasonable!"
VariableHog
Not sure I follow. What is the point?
ChainmailleAddict
The point is that unflattering pictures are used to sway opinion unfairly by the media, like, all the time

...so not biased against China....just bad photos?
Sandyundertones
Ha, I think it is anazing
randomwalrus
Anything that is not overwhelmingly complimentary of China, is biased against it. Such is the mind of a fascist demagogue/regime.
braaaiiiiinnnnsss
Wait... Trump says that anything not overwhelmingly complimentary is biased against him. Why do Chinese and Trump have so much in common?
JoJotarot
Anything short of licking xi's toes is """"biased"""" against china.
