China bans gamers from making moral decisions, femboys, etc

[The Alma Mater]

To be fair, companies like google are far more interested in that than the state will ever be.

In western liberal democracies, I agree. In the prc, I think the states interest dwarfs Google, and that is saying a lot.

Perhaps. Then again, this is the *seventh* time China has "banned" crypto. They do not seem really serious about actually doing it.

New stuff, China bans kids shows... And deems shows like MLP "harmful".

Well, here it is: the feared judgment day seems to have finally arrived. Though I'll wait until more animes are banned directly before I change the thread title to "China bans anime, crypto, gaming, femboys, fandoms, idols, BL". (Then again, they have banned many animes in the past, from Psycho-Pass (ROFL) to MHA).

If people from the age of 1 doesn't spend 12 hours of a day buried in the mysteries of Chairman Xi Thought and the other half of the day buried in Calculus for University then they are useless people. This is legitimately Chairman Xi's national policy these days.

I don’t know what Xi’s been smoking, but it’s clearly bad for his health

It all makes sense in his brain, which is:

If people from the age of 1 doesn't spend 12 hours of a day buried in the mysteries of Chairman Xi Thought and the other half of the day buried in Calculus for University then they are useless people. This is legitimately Chairman Xi's national policy these days.

Is this a form of domestic terrorism or does nobody have the guts to do what is right?

[The Huskar Social Union]

MLP is banned for its harmful western dogma and instead shall be replaced with Ponyism with Chinese Characteristics.

Define right.

Xi's goal is to make China the most technologically advanced and important country on the planet.

Does this help or hurt achieve that goal?

Also MLP is definitely foreign stuff so that shit is out.
I legitimately think these days that Chairman Xi is looking at Sakoku and thinking to himself "that seems like a pretty tasty idea."

[The Alma Mater]

Discord will now represent Capitalism and wear an American flag.

Assuming they mean the friendship is magic series and not the original from wayback.

Do note that China makes most of the merchandise for these series they wish to ban. I assume they will not stop doing that.

Well of course. They are state capitalists, they legitimately do not care where money is coming from as long as it's going straight into CPC bureaucrat pockets.

Across the board, so every generation including the current (running?) series... And the films.

[Isle of Westland]

Cringe, obviously... but also a little bit based if you know what I mean.

[Gonswanza]

This also implies that Chinese cartoons made in-house will also be banned, unless they are modified (heavily) to suit the state. In all honesty, they probably narrowly dodged a bullet there unless the censorship group says otherwise.

It's fine if in-house cartoons/anime are singing praises of these things:
1. The CPC
2. Chairman Xi
3. The Han ethnos
4. The Han culture.

TV shows already do that, with the added point that they all absolutely proclaim the Japanese to be Untermenschen.

Is the entirety of continental Eastern Asia trying to become shut-ins except for South Korea?

I mean, Japan enjoys western animation but also cringes hard when we get junk like I'm Not Starfire or the absolute trainwreck that is now RWBY...

But so far it's just China becoming a psychotic shut-in as far as I'm aware.

Tbh Western media would be fine but for a few problems. They generally do not do these things:

Sing praises of:
A1. The CPC
A2. Chairman Xi
A3. The Han ethnos
A4. The Han culture.
And declare as arrogant, dysfunctional, idiotic Untermenschen:
B1. The Japanese
B2. Anybody else Chairman Xi doesn't like these days.

With the exception of B2 this was already true back in 2008 when I was there, it has only gotten worse since.

We have to constantly remind ourselves that media in PRC - whatever the form - is a propaganda tool for the State.

[Kerwa]

Isn’t banning cartoons and encouraging “manly” stuff the opposite of shut-in?

It sounds like they want to produce millions of giga-chads.

They want to replace them with state mandated propaganda in all forms. So no, not really making "chads" but stemming creativity and producing loyal zombies.

You gotta hand it to them when you put it that way, not that I think it should be mandated by gubberment.
