Due to some interruption in the chinese stream during starladder, a lot of chinese netizens recently found out that they can actually view twitch without lag. There are a lot of hilarious threads consisting of chinese netizens seriously deconstructing twitch chat and trying to find out what the memes mean, and then ultimately embracing them. Here's a sample:A lot of the longer copy pastas (rtz riki, loda centaur etc) were met with bemusement, in the sense that only a handful of people were able to understand any of it. There is also some serious discussion about all the "EE kill all the chinese dogs" and "Pinoys/russians are shit" spam. Luckily the consensus is that it is some tasteless trolling memes, but a lot of people were shocked that people don't get banned for this.Anyway I thought it was a nice cultural exchange, however one sided it might have been.EDIT: As I've stated in a later post, these comments are sourced from sgamer.
