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.
https://www.gamerbraves.com/china-has-banned-more-than-60-games-from-live-streaming/ Not really its either you are promoting the moral depravity in society or thinks anything that republicans say against video games is bad. And i don't live in Republican , democrat dilemma .
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 .
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.
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
I am not American, you fool. My country is worried that Venezuela will try to play Israel and Gaza with Guiana right now.
you can't change China and Chinese culture and neither the Islamic world.
We expect those to evolve... you know, "progress", that thing we progressists like. Not wanting your culture to evolve, specially on social issues, is textbook conservatism.

Your expectations is not based on reality and not considering the attacks of imperialism on sovereign countries.
Venezuela , yeah Maduro is doing alright . Attack and take those oil rich territories from western colonialism.
I am not American, you fool - You talk line one though .
Because we don't live in a binary concept world like you do. You have been Americanized in thought , it is just the way it is . I will support those events which will decay the western powers and imperialism and taking those oil fields is not "Venezuelan" imperialism.
I am well aware of American interested here on their "backyard", but starting a "civil war" between latinamerican countries isn't how we're going to defeat imperialism. You are also defending the annexation of 70 percent of a country. You are also forgetting that Venezuela doesn't have nukes, and the US has zero reason to not get involved, with boots on the field if needed be. At the end of the day I'm not worried that Maduro will succeed, at all, but I still don't support war for oil. If you like war so much, maybe ask Xi to start one with Japan and South Korea, prime examples of American imperialism in Asia.
Military interventions are all needed to defeat imperialism , without strong military operation you can only become Gaza and indonesia of 1970s. Xi will do when its time for China to kick those ugly butts . XD btw I am defending Maduro and Venezuela . Are you from Brazil ?
Yes, I am. I defend Venezuela when it comes to the bloody sanctions the Americans put on them, I defend that the US should stay the heck away from their oil (if you know the story of Hugo Chavez as president, that's a prime example of America messing with another country to take their oil), but I don't defend their own quest to take another country's oil.
The Arab world did try to free Palestine with strong military operations. But the Americans had the Zionists' back and the rest is history.

I don't understand your point is , doing non violent activism is not marxism leninism. You got some wrong perspective in world history. Arab world did the right thing in defending the rights of Palestinians if you criticize their military action then you are not Marxist or socialists. We can say also something about Hamas action similarly , Hamas did the attacks and US backed Israel then rest is history. You cannot criticize the Arab world for defending their people which btw USSR also failed in 1948. No one in the 3rd world (I don't know about Brazil) supported the creation of Israel in 1948.
but I don’t defend their own quest to take another country’s oil.---- That's like Lula talk about Ukraine war, Russia should have stayed put and pretend NATO is a goody goody force. You don't support that's your choice , not the world's majority and certainly from the rest of the 3rd world. If Maduro goes on offensive , all support to him . Read the article I shared with you. Its a disputed land and Venezuela is protecting it from ExonMobil.
My point is that they did try military action and it didn't work out for them. What is happening in Gaza today isn't consequence of them not fighting back, because they did fight. And they weren't wrong for trying to defend Palestine against colonialism.
Read the article I shared with you. Its a disputed land and Venezuela is protecting it from ExonMobil.
No they're not, they want to annex the whole fucking territory, and the idea that a country like Venezuela can "protect" another country by buying a war with the US is ridiculous, which is why it probably won't happen. If there is any way to stop the Americans to get that oil, that one isn't it.
My point is that they did try military action and it didn’t work out for them
Fighting against colonialism thats what Arab states did by invading Israel lol. You don't know history or you are very complacent to try to pin the fault of Israel and US on the Arab world. If you are shifting the blame on the Arab world you are no different from the US libs and wackies

keep following and hinge on "Venezuelan imperialism " thats what Lula and Brazilian left is . And a country like "Venezuela" will definitely save the day not some Lula 2 siders who can't even give a greenlight to a ceasefire UN resolution without condemning Hamas first.
Well most of the western left is all about that. Promoting GTA 5 and dunking on fighting against US imperialism . Keep inventing another "Russian imperialism" trope in Brazil 😂

I don't know about media boos but I approve of what china has done.
I guess we normal people don't go usually out and kill people for gangs and mobs.
Most normal people don't fly airplanes either, but that's not a requirement for Flight Simulator to mimic real life well too.

What are gamergater takes?
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
https://www.gamerbraves.com/china-has-banned-more-than-60-games-from-live-streaming/ I don't know about media boos but I approve of what china has done.
Yea why aren't there more video games about following the speed limit in your 10 year old car then filling out spreadsheets for 8 hours.
Where the fuck did all these boomer ass takes come from.
