Upvote these posts you believe in freedom of speech like me:

• Can I post images from Tiananmen Square Protests on my profile page?
• Can I say that a major politician is "disgusting as a person"?

Since 2015, I have been uploading images that criticize the Chinese government here, because I believe that this saves lives and prevents human rights violations. I also believe that these have strong meta support in:

• Can you have a username that is censored in a dictatorship?
• Are political avatars and profiles OK?

However, when you try to ask if you can make fun or criticize specific points of dictatorships like the Chinese government in 2021, many people in the Stack Exchange community simply refuse to give a clear yes or no answer:

• if they said no, they would be considered evil for supporting an evil dictatorship
• if they said yes, then this would allow you to post images that some people living in said dictatorship find distressing (Chinese media calls this "to hurt the feelings of the Chinese people"), and like good Liberals we must strive to please everyone

The key question is:

Do we have to be nice to dictators and their supporters?
