    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.

                  Not yet? They are already raiding gay clubs and arresting people there. And try as you may, you cannot justify Russia going after their LGBT population as a whole.

                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 .

                  This is not a problem of “different cultures”, this is a problem of a law being used to oppress a minority, vulnerable group.

                  And you cannot apply your western gender movement to China .

                  For fuck’s sake, this is just like what Rússia is doing. Good job on being part of the oppression of the LGBT population.

                    You can’t dictate to another socialist country how to live and how to behave when yourself are promoting GTA 5 discourse and your country is doing a genocide in Gaza. Thats the morality I am talking about. And it has been said by Vijay Prashad himself , you can’t change China and Chinese culture and neither the Islamic world. They will follow their own path or discourse of culture norms and ethics
