Kim Jong-un gets his own safe space courtesy of the ChiComs.

Via Red Alert:

China has a long reputation for censoring political speech and dissent against their own government. But now, the Chinese government is trying protect a neighboring leader who’s not held in high esteem: North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.

Fascination has grown in the People’s Republic of the DPRK leader’s apparent weight gain, and now the Chinese government has stepped in to censor offending language to the young dictator on social media.

Terms like “Kim the Fat,” “Kim Fat III,” and “Kim Fatty III” have appeared on social media sites throughout the year, particularly on the popular Chinese platform Sina Weibo. The “III” refers to the fact that Kim Jong-un’s father and grandfather were also named “Kim.”

In response to North Korea allegedly asking the Chinese government to censor these social media posts mocking their dear leader, users started to get more creative with their posts, including names like “Kim III half-moon.”
