#its wednesday my dudes

The Chinese govt legally allows only three Switch games: Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and New Super Mario Bros. U.—Animal Crossing was an exciting new edition until recently! Copies are being pulled form some stores, but that might also be in pre-emptive self-censorship. (not sure about the online shop)

The Hong Kong protests have been fuel for DIY crafters on all sides; above is a pro-CCP stance with 一国两制,统一中国, “One country two systems, Unified China,” and below some 香港加油 “Stay strong Hong Kong!” and related slogans. Other topical things are appearing too but that seems to be the biggest aggravator. 

China had an entire console ban for 15 years, ending in 2015. Obviously like most CCP censorship people do get around it, but some people don’t, and ideologically the attempt is still worth taking seriously.
