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.
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.
Most normal people don’t fly airplanes either, but that’s not a requirement for Flight Simulator to mimic real life well too.

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

And men that are not “masculine” enough for your standards?
Wrong.
Is that “strong anti western culture” the same one that Russia is using to label LGBTQ groups as terrorism?
