      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.

          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.

                  while we believe children/teenagers and even adults shouldn’t be exposed to violence against women , drug abuse , mob/gang violence promotion

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

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

                  Wrong.

      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
