I lust in my heart for as many dead refugees as possible.

quote:

New regulations issued by Bejing will prohibit portrayals of homosexuality, prostitution and drug addiction. The China Netcasting Services Association (CNSA) is targeting what they consider "abnormal" sexual activity.

The rules which were issued on Friday demand that online video platforms hire at least three “professional censors”. They were ordered to view entire programmes and take down any considered not sticking to the “correct political and aesthetic standards,” according to the latest regulations.

The move is seen by human rights groups as the latest tightening of censorship in China. Government officials had closed down celebrity gossip blogs that authorities claim were “catering to the public’s vulgar taste,” according to Channel News Asia.

Other online material deemed offensive include damaging the national image, criticising revolutionary leaders or portraying the supernatural such as “conjuring spirits”.

China already has over a hundred million male incels because of the gender disparity, and I can't think of a worse thing to do now than suppress homosexuality.

Yeah that was my first thought after hearing the news, Hollywood has been banking heavily on the Chinese market as a safety net for when their films do poorly in America and a lot more movies have had roles for Chinese actors lately.

It's interesting how the west has adopted homosexuality as a human right fully only within the last year or two and is already greatly concerned with its inclusion abroad.

America is entirely oblivious about its media's essential role in, for example, chinese people widespread and incredibly prejudiced view of people of african decent e.g. fear of AIDS, taking their daughters, drug use and drug dealing, etc. Prejudices which originated in America in living memory.

If you think homophobia itself isn't a western invention exported around the world, you're kidding yourself.

People need to study more history. Studying other cultures, and even your own, and you will soon discover strange, exotic forms of prejudice and discrimination that you never thought existed.

if one does it will likely get a really horrible transformers-series--style recut where any scene where homosexuality is mentioned is awkwardly replaced by one of two chinese actors going "by the way hong kong belongs 2 china 5000 years ok"

He's not entirely wrong. Some cultures in Africa had no problem with homosexuality before European colonisation. China, I don't know about.

lets wander on down to the ol wikipedia shall we

quote:

Opposition to homosexuality in China rose in the medieval Tang Dynasty, being attributed by some writers to the influence of Christian and Islamic values,[16] but did not become fully established until the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.[4] There exists a dispute among sinologists as to when negative views of homosexual relationships became prevalent among the general Chinese population, with some scholars arguing that it was common by the time of the Ming Dynasty, established in the 14th century, and others arguing that anti-gay attitudes became entrenched during the Westernization efforts of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China in the 19th and 20th centuries.[4] Although rejection of homosexuality originating in the Tang Dynasty might also suggest Indian influences, given the fact that some Hindu and Buddhist literature disapproved of homosexuality.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23]

The earliest law against a homosexual act dates from the Song Dynasty, punishing "young males who act as prostitutes." The first statute specifically banning homosexual intercourse was enacted in the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty.[24]

Lu Tongyin, author of Misogyny, Cultural Nihilism & Oppositional Politics: Contemporary Chinese Experimental Fiction, said "a clear-cut dichotomy between heterosexuality and homosexuality did not exist in traditional China."

in conclusion its a land of contrasts
