I mean, I saw one Memri TV debate in TikTok where a Saudi scholar was debating with other Saudi scholars and calling them out for not wanting to Ben called ISIS/DAESH but interpreting Islam the same way terrorists do.

Finna see Miraculous Ladybug with a hijab... :shock:
Though, it'll take quite some time for the animations to be redrawn with hijabs then...? Since it may not affect all cartoons in the first place which ones will take priority?

Yes, and despite the memes it's not because of anime and more probably due to how wildly unhealthy Japanese education and work culture is. People have no time to make families.

Yeah, obviously, I’m not blaming anime, lol.
East Asian work culture scarily like that of pretty much all immigrants in America: Study, study, study, work, work, work, work, work, work,work, die.
People literally work themselves to death over there.

Unfortunately wanting to be the best in one's field, or surviving is ingrained into a lot of East Asian people. I know from experience.

Back onto topic, imagine Iranian kids in the future realising that their child cartoon/anime love doesn't in fact wear a hijab. I think they'll be shocked into oblivion.

I hate debates about Islamism cause they always spiral into unquestioning defense of Islam vs hate for anyone whose beard is more than three inches in length. Nuance gets kicked out within 5 seconds.

In what sense? Saudi Arabia is a very wealthy and technologically modern nation and as far as I'm aware, the standard of living is alright in terms of running water, shelter and electricity, but socially speaking Saudi Arabia is a dystopian hellhole stuck in the year 800 where people get put to death for all kinds of shit everyday.

Tbh I wouldn't wanna live in either Saudi Arabia or Japan. Both are cesspools of conformity where you're never allowed to truly be free and you're always under someone's boot (although you're often under someone's boot in America, at least we're a little more open to doing anything you wanna do).

Nah, they'll just ignore it. People in the west also routinely ignore that Jesus and his mom would have looked like Iranians instead of like serene blonde white people ;)
In fact, they even get upset if people give Mary a rainbow halo, despite Mary probably dressing in rainbow colours and having piercings. Her being a Nazarene girl and such.

So they will be fine. And heck, kids characters often get localised versions.

No, not really. They probably won’t care. A lot might actually be happy that the Iranian Version wears hijab.

Correction

Japan has a declining population because of its declining birthrates. It has little to do with the education system they have in place. That said it is part of their culture to a degree to dedicate your life to work. Most Japanese actually are just too busy working to think of procreating and the pandemic only ensures that this continues

but to offer my opinion on the matter it just makes me glad i dont live in a country that believes that it should be governed by the laws of their religion. Theocracy is a backwards form of governance
Centrist Monarchist, rabid anti communist. Happy to clarify any and all views to any who may be curious

believing that being anything less than a communist makes your political opponent a nazi speaks more about your problems than my own

I did not distinctly state whether or not I hold this news is fake or not fake. However, one must beg to take into consideration the peculiarity of the sources provided, or in simpler terms, question the material we are being shown, my dearest fellow friend of NationStates.net. Not merely because some of these peculiar news source outlets typically take an active position against Iran, but furthermore because news outlets are not always so principally concerned with the fundamentals of fact checking. My, what my great great grand father would say of the situation! A mighty travesty for all, chasing those missing gooses, how the devilish media covered their tracks! Even despite that we listened to news outlets from the New York Island to the California, we could not find them! Ah, but I digress my good honest hard working fellow laborer and confidant, I sincerely apologize! Back on topic now... If this news is most indubitably true, and please allow me to reiterate that I am not necessarily doubting you my good friend, could not an Iranian network be worthy of being its own a source of this oh so important news information? Why then am I having such difficulty finding one? For indeed, I am ever so most baffled, dear friend! Most baffled!
