COVID-19 pandemic: Difference between revisions

* When the pandemic first began, several posters on [[4chan]] (mostly American ones) ran with the idea of [[Anthropomorphic Personification|personifying the virus]] as a [[Anime Chinese Girl|standard anime-styled Chinese girl]] ([[Refuge in Audacity|as they are wont to do]]); many of them at the time were apparently under the impression that the pandemic was either nothing serious or would blow over quickly enough to be a funny memory. [[Harsher in Hindsight|As the pandemic approached its second complete year as (of November 2021)]], the frequency of searches mentioning her tapered off fairly quickly, and posts about her or the pandemic became [[Nightmare Fuel|decidedly disturbing in nature]] - and then, in what many consider typical 4chan fashion, she became a sort of figurehead among the ''more'' racist segments of the userbase.

* [[UrinatingTree]] frequently alludes to [[Anthropomorphic Personification|"Corona-chan"]] in his non-live commentary videos on sports (which is naturally impacted by the pandemic), with mentions of COVID news punctuated by a sound of someone coughing.
