I'm not sure when it started, probably around Trump's time but the Sinophobia on reddit is becoming unbearable. Any random "China bad" thread is upvoted to the sky even with sketchy or non-existent sources, and anyone expressing skepticism or asking for source in the comment is immediately personally attacked and called names like tankie/50c army/Chinese bot/etc. Unlike HN, when it comes to politics everyone on reddit seems to immediately assume bad faith when discussing with someone who doesn't agree with your political view.
