To counter racial discrimination from Western netizens, did Chinese gamers directly channel Jesus?

I have something to say that most of you probably won't believe:

"Jesus is actually Chinese."

I know this statement sounds absurd and somewhat eerie. Originally, I just treated it as a new internet joke and didn't take it seriously... but in recent days, I've really started doubting myself. After all, in 2026, when I see the face shown on the left in the image below, speaking fluent Mandarin and English right in front of me, I have no reason not to believe—this is that very person.

Wait, what do you mean he started streaming? What do you mean he's trading swear words with foreign racists?

Alright, to prevent you from being kept in the dark, I must clarify that this person is not that revered figure. He is simply an internet blogger dressed up as Jesus, with the online name "Lucifer Lusiferr" (hereinafter referred to as Lucifer).

Yes, that very six-winged fallen angel everyone knows, cast down from Heaven to Hell.

In fact, if you search for the keyword "Lucifer" on major video platforms now, the first recommendation might not be the classic images from various films and TV shows, but rather this blogger.

However, according to netizens, his previous ID was "Luosifen luosifer," with Lucifer being an accidental yet clever homophonic pun

Moreover, the blogger himself is Uyghur, with an appearance that carries a certain exotic flavor.

Although stacking these buffs together, and described as such by me, he seems to possess the qualities of a "natural-born internet saint," he didn't immediately discover his identity as the Son of God upon going online. In earlier years, his makeup and styling were fresher and handsomer, not as "world-weary" as now. Although he had long hair back then, he didn't deliberately grow a beard.

At that time, although his videos also featured screen recordings of online chats with others, he was merely using his distinct Central Asian features—thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a stern face—to prank those who doubted his nationality. Even though some people mentioned he looked a bit like Jesus back then, everyone just took it as a casual joke and didn't think much of it.

Because the focus of their conversations would always intentionally or unintentionally drift to the keyword "Xinjiang"—after all, for some foreigners, rather than whether Lucifer actually looks like Jesus, they are clearly more concerned about the Northwest region, which has been subjected to the most intense global racial discrimination under the "demonization" propaganda of certain overseas channels.

Although we consider these completely baseless and bizarre rumors, they oddly have a significant discussion market abroad.

Thus, this blogger from Xinjiang often uses live connections to introduce his hometown of Xinjiang and explain the fifty-six ethnic groups to foreign friends deceived by absurd remarks. Drawing from his own university experiences, he proves to them that as a Uyghur, he has never been oppressed and has always lived a normal life enjoying himself on this land.

But attempting to change someone's racist perceptions with just a few words has always been futile. Moreover, trying to reason with those making discriminatory and double-standard remarks is like casting pearls before swine. Because of this, cognitive gaps between strangers online often lead to unavoidable verbal disputes. For example, before Lucifer, there was a Bilibili blogger who used an instant salute as a form of "tit-for-tat" to counteract discriminatory behavior from some foreign netizens.

This guy even enjoyed a period of popularity thanks to his quick-reacting approach

So what did Lucifer do? Did he just curse back directly?

Initially, he did indeed do just that. However, no matter how creatively you curse, it still deviates from the original intention of communication and exchange, so it's hardly a good method.

After repeated advice from netizens and numerous reminders from foreigners during connections, he had an epiphany. So, he let his long hair down, got new curls, grew a beard, and even specially bought a silver-white crown of thorns—from then on, he officially adopted this special attire as a weapon against racist remarks.

However, he uses this outfit relatively restrainedly and never initiates aggression. For example, if the person on the other end is a normal foreign friend who doesn't discriminate or maliciously insult, he remains just an ordinary blogger who somewhat resembles the traditional image of Jesus.

But if the other party starts being sarcastic, claiming that noodles and rice are junk food causing "carb face," and mockingly makes slanted-eye gestures at the corners of their eyes, then the earthly Lucifer transforms into the "devil of angels," pulling out and donning the crown of thorns from off-screen, baring his upper body.

As soon as the other party sees the crown of thorns, they become obedient and reserved, much like local tyrants and bullies in TV dramas seeing "Kangxi's armor combine." After the other party admits their mistake, Lucifer immediately removes the crown of thorns: "Can we chat normally now?"

One moment they might be hurling insults, and the next, as if triggered by some underlying code, they immediately start spouting compliments and well-wishes for the blogger's family, wishing them happiness and health, before hastily disconnecting.

This strategy works every time; he doesn't even need to speak. Just sitting there, his dignified appearance and demeanor are enough to deter any foreign netizens wanting to continue making extreme remarks.

Domestic netizens, enjoying the spectacle, further placed naan, a specialty food from Xinjiang, behind Lucifer wearing the crown of thorns to simulate a halo. This AI-generated image, with its artistic atmosphere, widely circulated in the comment sections of related videos.

Not long after, this AI image successfully spread overseas via the internet. Consequently, on platform X, you can see netizens there exclaiming and joking, "So Jesus is Chinese."

As his story spread across platforms alongside images, netizens from all walks of life joined in the "artistic creation." For instance, a netizen who works as a carpenter offered to custom-make a cross embedded with LED light strips for this blogger, so he could use "holy light" during streams to illuminate the path home for the lost souls of racists.

Some netizens also suggested that Yiwu manufacturers could seek portrait licensing from this blogger, thereby allowing Lucifer's "Jesus likeness" to go global. Netizens believe that in five years, relevant statues worldwide will all resemble Lucifer.

Of course, none of the "strategist suggestions" from netizens were ever adopted by Lucifer himself. His reasoning was that he didn't want this to become overly entertaining.

Moreover, according to his latest response video, while he does cater to internet trends, his long hair and beard were not specifically grown to cosplay as Jesus. The crown of thorns is merely a tool to counter or push back against racist remarks from foreign netizens, aiming to awaken some "goodness" in their hearts. He also hopes that this will encourage netizens to pay more attention to how he introduces our culture and hometown to foreign friends.

Lucifer's final response video was released just minutes after I finished writing this article—to be honest, following my habitual thinking, I would instinctively associate this incident with the internet trend of "collecting Cullinan fragments." If that were the case, I would assume he would silently profit from the traffic without explanation, like his predecessors. But he ultimately chose to respond. A single video naturally won't change much, whether it's more clipped stories or those prejudiced and discriminatory remarks, but at least... maintaining a certain degree of reverence towards "entertainment" might indeed be the civilized demeanor the internet should have.

And so, the story of blogger Lucifer comes to an end.

However, there is another question that interests us all: "Why was it that when Lucifer merely resembled Jesus, foreigners connecting with him could speak freely without restraint, but as soon as he put on the crown of thorns, they immediately fell silent? Didn't they know it was just cosplay, that it wasn't real?" Furthermore, there are many people in real life who look like Jesus, and online imitators are plentiful. For instance, domestic netizens directly refer to a certain overseas blogger as "Brother Jesus," yet no one changes their speech pattern to be indirect or cautious simply because he resembles Jesus.

The specific reason is quite simple to explain, but to avoid various issues, we can slightly shift the story's background to the more familiar "Warhammer" universe:

I have been reborn.

In this life, I am an ordinary Imperial Guardsman, eating tasteless unknown rations daily, watching my close comrades fall one by one. Today, the forces of Nurgle finally broke through our defenses, and I am about to return my soul to the Golden Throne amidst numbness and pain. But at this moment, I see a girl with golden hair dressed in white, wearing a laurel wreath. She walks barefoot at the forefront of the battlefield, merging with the light and dust. Honestly, even seeing this scene, I don't feel much faith in the Emperor—I'm starving, and my family back home was barely surviving in the lower levels of the hive city—but even so, I fear the Inquisition's blasphemy rulings and contradictorily worry that my soul won't be recognized by the Emperor after death. Thus, I still choose to kneel devoutly, joining my companions and officers, hands clasped together: "For the God-Emperor!"

But then again... it's 2026, and this is an open and peaceful land. Yet, if I were to see the Jade-Footed Emperor online at this time, I would certainly devoutly recite prayers fitting for the current times:

“Oh, Jesus!”
