    flight simulators and other war games (Early CODs not the modern warfare and such ) don’t promote negative values in society and sexism . Portraying women as mere sexual objects is not very healthy to teenagers . GTA 5 had all kinds of applying torture , sexual gratification , promoting banditry.

      You’re sounding like a 90’s christian parent worried that video games are going to turn their kids violent.

      Which reminded me, I should have mentioned this earlier, but you used the word “depraved” in the first post; I am not comfortable with you using that christofacist language.

        lol. Well that’s maybe the cultural difference between a westerner and a person from South Asia. We two have different perspectives of depravity and right and wrong. btw I am not a Christian .

          Well, you do sound like one. Condemning a piece of media for its “depravity” sounds like it came straight out of a Republican’s playbook. As for perspective, I mean, if it means “things with a sexual tone that I consider morally bad”, then it is a problem regardless of culture.

          Edit: maybe I am being too exclusionary, all religious fundamentalism is bad, not just christian.

              either you are promoting the moral depravity in society

              Holy shit, you’re literally talking like a conservative, let’s drop the religion talk completely and just call this what it is: conservatism. And wth is that list? Am I supposed to agree that games like The Witcher, DDLC, Resident Evil and L4D should be banned for “depravity”? You’re literally proving my point.

              In fact, China is a great example of why that talk about “depravity” is nothing more than another tool for oppression: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/02/1033687586/china-ban-effeminate-men-tv-official-morality

              I don’t hate China like your average westerner, there are many things there that I like, the unfortunate conservatism in the government is not one of them.

                “China is a great example of why that talk about “depravity” is nothing more than another tool for oppression” Because we are different , “conservatism” in your culture is bad while we believe children/teenagers and even adults shouldn’t be exposed to violence against women , drug abuse , mob/gang violence promotion. Thats the end of story. I am not a religious person but we won’t be following your judgement on social issues and norms. You are not Chinese , neither you are a part of global south countries. Thats the end of story. Every Socialist government which has strong anti western culture is “conservative” according to you . lol .

                  And men that are not “masculine” enough for your standards?

                  You are not Chinese , neither you are a part of global south countries.

                  Wrong.

                  Every Socialist government which has strong anti western culture is “conservative” according to you

                  Is that “strong anti western culture” the same one that Russia is using to label LGBTQ groups as terrorism?

                    Is that “strong anti western culture” the same one that Russia is using to label LGBTQ groups as terrorism? , Russia is doing wrong in some aspects but you tell me these LGBT pro western groups always supported the 90s Russia of mafia terrorism and Yeltsin liberalization , why they can’t have independent LGBT thoughts from western culture and “GTA 5” morality like you ? Now these Pussy riot members said to BBC that 90s Russia was the best for LGBT people in Russia . But yeah Russia is not going after LGBT people and putting them in camps to exterminate them which is exactly the Democrat party will say.

                    And men that are not “masculine” enough for your standards? Different culture has different norms of society regarding LGBT , I have no problem with Chinese laws. This above law is applied regarding to the koreafication of the pop music culture . We should have nuance with these laws . And you cannot apply your western gender movement to China .

      Games are the newest bugaboo in a long line of media 'boos. Movies, tv shows, books (really). Its extremely tiring to see this same pattern play out
