That's not true. The 1st term is a historical name for soldiers on the winning side of the civil war that has become a political smear somewhat like "Rethuglicans" or similar.
The second and third refers to the well-documented practice of government paid commenters trying to shape public opinion. There's no good justification for YouTube to censor all comments on that topic. If anything the topic has become more important over the years and people are more concerned about it than ever after the 2016 elections.
- mytailorisrich 6y agoSo the first one has indeed become an insult (if it wasn't all along...) The second and third are also insults. Whether the Chinese government pays posters or not, the fact is that the terms are most commonly used in an insulting and harassing manner against anyone that has posted something deemed too "pro-China".
