Peace isn’t built by turning Asian symbols of joy into the global face of “every genocide.” Matcha Labubu is not that symbol; it is your wake-up call. For such a smart guy you have made a fatal category error: appropriating a Chinese soft-power emblem of childhood delight as the mascot for Abrahamic religious enmity and its genocidal fruits is not clever, it’s scapegoating. The real suffering in the Sahel (or Gaza) deserves better than having its horror laundered through someone else’s innocence.
