Hongkongggag Iceberg

The meme

The Hongkongggag Iceberg is a meme made by Card0 discovering the layers of Hongkongggag lore and the deeper into the iceberg the more unknown such information is.

Tip of the iceberg

Anti-Xenophobia

Hongkongggag as a whole is Anti-Xenophobic towards China. They aim to divide China's government and politics to one side, and the people on the other; and that it is not justified to hate on the Mainland Chinese solely due to political reasons.

Pro-LGBT

One of Hongkongggag’s main tenets is being pro-LGBT: it has good relations with many LGBT awareness pages and groups in HK and has shared many posts from them. It has also made a few LGBT info posts as well as LGBT friendly memes. This also has the intended side effect of driving away homophobia from the page.
