Adil Ahmed's's AITA Story

AITA for refusing to download Genshin Impact so a friend could play it with me?
Hi, My name is Adil Ahmed, I am an Uyghur-American boy who escaped China with his sister to avoid the persecution of my people, Lei is helping me write this.

Now, I LOVE Gacha games, I prefer to save up than spend real money, I play Pokémon Masters EX with Lei and Xiu-mei, Xiu-mei loves playing it with me.

Now, I attend a Muslim group that is basically my third family, a girl I fell in love with is a 16-year old Palestinian-American girl, our relationship is platonic until we marry, she escaped Israel with her father and mother when she was 11, her house was firebombed in Gaza, She has PTSD and becomes terrified at explosions.

Now, Nadia has a friend named Jackson, Our Muslim-American group has no policy against us making friends with non-Muslims, Xiu-mei was with me at the time, we were playing Pokémon Masters, Nadia adores Xiu-mei.

Jackson has been playing a game called Genshin Impact, me and him are close and he I should play the game but I told him a flat out no.

The reason is because I am opposed to the Chinese Communist Party and the genocide of my people, The Uyghurs, Genshin Impact was made by a company called miHoYo, The game has chat filters for anything related to Hong Kong and Taiwan, Longwei and Mila refused to play the game either.

”I had to escape China with my sister, They persecuted and tortured Uyghur Muslims and forced them into labor, I’m sorry but I refuse to play a game who’s microtransactions are used to fund disgusting people who blame us for radicalization.”

I like Pokémon.....but I refuse to have anything to do with Pokémon UNITE, Tencent is funding technology to cause Uyghurs like me to be arrested for being Muslim.

He thinks I am being completely unreasonable and it’s free to play, He’s a little naive when it comes to foreign affairs like this genocide, Look, I don’t give a fuck if it’s free, My friends can’t even say that his parents are originally from Taiwan and she can’t even say she’s from Hong Kong.

He won’t even talk to me and Nadia wants us to be friends again, She’s a very shy girl.....I don’t want her to be sad again.

So, AITA?

Note: Lei understands I don’t want anything to do with Genshin Impact, It took me a while to understand that Tencent doesn’t distribute Nintendo products globally and only in China and that the mainland Chinese Switch has a region lock

My Nintendo Switch was a Taiwanese import and the games I get are form there, Longwei is helping me use it and explained it to me.

The gang tell me they resort to piracy and online shop theft to avoid funding to the CCP if it’s made by something like Tencent so they can have a game without funding them.

"NTA. I can't stand Chinese censorship and their shitty genocide with the Uyghurs, so I can understand you not wanting to play Genshin Impact. Your friend needs to understand that not everyone wants to support the CCP." - HeavyMetalFan934

AITA for not giving my younger sister’s Build a Bear as well as my friend’s daughter’s to someone’s severely autistic daughter?
Okay, while I have seen Lei Chao's AITA story, I decided to write this.

Apparently, I took Patime to the Build-a-Bear Workshop withy Lei and Xiu-mei saw the last two bears in stock, one is a Happy Hugs Teddy and the other is the Pastel Swirly Kitty. While Xiu-mei picked the former and dresses it in a nice party dress and a bow, Patime also dressed the Pastel Swirly Kitty in hospital scrubs. Xiu-mei thinks her bear was a girl and Patime refers her bear as a he, despite her bear's feminine apperance. We jokingly nicknamed it the “BABW Bishonen”.

when paying for it, Lei felt a hand touched him and he almost flinched. It was an older woman and her autistic daughter, who was at least 14.

Karen: “Excuse me, You’re about to buy the two bears I wanted for my daughter, Can you please give them to me?”

Lei looked at me then at Patime, he's already paying for Patime’s, then Xiu-mei shook her head.

Karen then turned to her daughter.

Karen: “I’m sorry, the two selfish boys won’t give you it.”

The Karen’s daughter then began screaming and throwing a fit, Now....What made Lei NOT want to give it to her is that she scratched my sister, Patime and tried to snatch it off her.

Patime: “No! Back off!”

Since I had to be gentle, I stopped her from scratching at Patime.

The worker told her that Lei and I were in no way inclined to give her the bears.

Karen: "How very disrespectful of you guys to not give my severely autistic daughter a Build-a-Bear. I bet you guys hate autistic people, do you?!"

Lei: "No! We don't hate autistic people, but we're not about to give your daughter our bears that we're paying for!"

"NTA. I think the Karen supports Autism Speaks while her daughter is nonverbal." - PortiaTheSpecialNeedsMom

"Yeah, I agree with Portia here. I get that autism is a big problem, but entitled parents like her are giving actual good autistic people a bad rep." - MidelaKue2

AITA for politely refusing to watch the Mulan remake because of the actress’ views and where it was filmed?
For this one, this involves me not supporting the 2020 Mulan remake because of the circumstances of the filming and production. Me and my little sister Patime are fine with the 1998 animated one, with Patime in particular calling 1998 Mulan as one of her favorite movies. However, this 2020 remake is something else...

The actor for Mulan, Liu Yifei, supported the CCP during the protests happening in Hong Kong, in which she quoted: "I support Hong Kong police. You can beat me now. What a shame for Hong Kong." Now, I do not have a high view on China to say the least, because their human rights violations are atrocious, with my family also being affected by it. Its treatment of Hong Kong is also pretty bad, and it forces its residents to support them.

Not only that, but many parts of the film was also filmed in Xinjiang, which is notorious for sending Uyghur people like me to "re-education camps", where they pretty much abuse them and enslave them in work. My parents got sent to one of those camps, and me and my sister had no choice but to flee the country out of fear that we were gonna get sent there as well. And that's not to mention that they even thanked the now-sanctioned Xinjiang Public Security Bureau in Turpan, and several local committees of the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party at the end credits. Just sickening...

With all of these reasons, as well as many critics calling this one of the worst Disney live action remakes ever, it's easy to see why me and my sister are boycotting this film. Hope Plank has also agreed with our stance and is boycotting the film along with us. Now, the hideout doesn't like Hope due to her controlling view on music and movies and even destroyed one of Lei's heavy metal CDs, which was given to a now-deceased friend of his and ultimately made the entire gang cut ties with her. Even then, though, at least she agrees that the movie sucks.

I also refuse to touch Pokémon UNITE or League of Legends and make it clear I don’t play them, Which I got a lot of slack for.

However, I've gotten messages from Disney stans and even pro-China people saying that I'm an idiot for boycotting the movie and that I don't know "real cinema" and even claims that China has either done nothing wrong or their treatment towards the Uyghurs are justified.

"NTA. I also got tons of shit from the Disney stans because I boycotted Mulan as well as the live action remakes in general, and I even received death threats from this kid who was disturbed by the fact that not everyone loved these shitty films!" - NoahTheGamer52

AITA for not getting a Disney Adult a 2020 Mulan doll because I’m boycotting the movie because of the CCP’s involvement?
Me again. This one is in continuation to the previous AITA story.

Now, I boycott anything to do with the 2020 Mulan film and I fucking despise it due to the fact the lead actress supports the CCP and the fact they filmed the fucking film in Xinjiang.

Now, I babysit for a family as a part time job. The girl’s name is Ariel and her mon is a Disney Adult to the goddamn extreme! She even has this no non-Disney toys policy for her daughter.

Now, she asked me to buy a doll of Mulan from the 2020 film, but I told her a flat out no.

The reason was because I am opposed to the CCP and their policies, which is basically putting my family in a concentration camp and me and my sister having to flee the fucking country.

Me: “No, I do not support the 2020 Mulan film because of the CCP’s involvement and they even thanked two organizations sanctioned by the UN. I cannot support those people for what they have done to me. They victimized many people I knew, and not just Uyghur Muslims like me.”

AITA for raging at a tankie for denying the Tiananmen Square massacre, then saying my parents deserved to die in concentration camps?
This one happened yesterday, and I'm still pissed just thinking about it.

Now, the gang is generally considered left-leaning in the political scale, but they are also die-hard libertarians who are against any form of authoritarianism, which includes Nazism and Communism. This is understandable considering their hatred for authority, and I especially hate communism because that's the ideology that inspired the CCP to commit genocide against us Uyghur Muslims.

However, a few weeks ago, a new neighbor moved in. We'll call him "Lemmy". Now, I'm not kidding when I say that Lemmy is a tankie in the literal definition. For those who don't know, a tankie is a communist who supports the ideologies of Marxism–Leninism. They are also infamous for endorsing, defending, or even flat out deny genocides and atrocities committed by these communist leaders.

Sadly, this seemed to be with Lemmy, as not only did he tried to get everyone in the neighborhood into his ideology, but he even tried to lecture people why these crimes and atrocities were apparently false and created by "capitalist propaganda". At one point, Lei had to be held back from beating the ever living shit out of Lemmy because the latter claimed that he deserved the abusive childhood he had because it was a punishment for living under a shitty capitalist regime and that his biological father is probably laughing at his misery along with Lenin and Stalin. Yeah, as you can see, he's kind of a dick...

Ironically, twins Lei and Jiayi are from Macau, a special administrative region of China, which is under a one country, two systems policy that allows Macau to have capitalist policies aswell as ranking highly in per capita incomes, Human Development Index and fourth highest life expectancy, Several of my fellow gang members, more specifically Feng had to leave China due to the fact Feng is a mass murderer who has poisoned multiple people using dushuqiang (Chinese strong rat poison, makes you bleed out), Fumei and her brother Dongshun are on the run for assault and murder respectively.

However, believe it or not, Lemmy mentally and psychologically abusing Lei like that wasn't the final straw. The final straw was yesterday, when he came to visit us and "apologize" to Lei, though it quickly turned into him trying to pin the blame on Lei and defending his political ideology. However, he then took notice of me in my room watching The Gate of Heavenly Peace. For those who don't know, this is a three hour long documentary about the Tiananmen Square protests and the massacre that ensued. That's when he ran up to my room and shut off the TV.

Me: Excuse me, but what was that for?

Lemmy: What was that for?! You do realize that it is all a lie, right?! The capitalist imperialists of America made it all up!

Me: Are you serious right now?

Lei: Dude, just piss off already! You do realize that he and his little sister fled the fucking country after their parents were sent to concentration camps, right?

That's when Lemmy said something that made my blood boil.

Lemmy: Well, you know what?! They deserve it! The Uyghurs are nothing but hideous freaks who deserve to lose their fucking culture! I wished he would've went to those camps and died along with his shitstains of parents!

Hold on one moment... just typing that already got me pissed the fuck off...

Now, I'm normally not a violent person, as I remain calm most of the time. However, when Lemmy said that, to say I was extremely pissed would be the biggest understatement of all time. I basically shoved him down on the ground hard and let him have it. Even Lei was shocked from my beating, which is ironic considering he's know for his violent killings in the gang. After the gang broke up the beating, I then yelled this to him:

Me: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE THE MOST HEARTLESS, PRIVILEGED BASTARD I HAVE EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE OF KNOWING!!! SOME FOLKS LIKE ME KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS TO AN AUTHORITARIAN REGIME!!! YES AMERICA HAS PROBLEMS, BUT YOU TREATING THEM LIKE LITERAL DEVILS WHILE TREATING ASSFUCKS OF COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA AND THE SOVIET UNION LIKE PERFECT LITTLE ANGELS HAS GOTTEN ME ALL FUCKED UP!!! AND ALSO, IT'S QUITE HYPOCRITICAL THAT YOU GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW THE RICH SUCK, YET YOU LIVE IN A HOME THAT COST ALMOST A MILLION-FUCKING-DOLLARS!!!

To make a long story short, Lemmy was permanently banned from entering the hideout, and the neighbors are petitioning the city to get Lemmy kicked out of the neighborhood because of his batshit insane behavior.

However, even after I gave him a rather brutal beatdown (by the way, thank the Lord Patime didn't witness all of that shit), Lemmy still insists that he's still in the right. Even some of his tankie friends came in his defense.
