@Zuljaras Although I fully agree with you, and then some, you'll probably already know it's pretty much an exercise in futility to make him understand. Besides his rather individualistic, highly short-sighted and radical views and him being in the spectrum of autism, which already makes understanding other people (and possibly also expressing himself) harder, he also lives in a country where freedom of speech is all but none existent, so he isn't even able to begin to comprehend as to why it is so important, much like freedom of artistic expression which, save for any actually forbidden and/or inflammatory content, should be all but unlimited.
@ThanosReXXX You are right. He does not even know that his right of sexual preference is limited by his government. And he supports this practice of "control" Actually it is quite funny
@Zuljaras Yeah, just imagine living in a country where the king thinks he's descendant of the gods, and where even looking at a poster of him the wrong way (such as with an angry or disrespectful gaze), might land you in prison, and you'll begin to get the picture of how "free" and happy these people really are...
@ThanosReXXX Are you confusing Indonesia with North Korea? In Indonesia they have a normal government that has some strict rules like no homosexuality but I do not think they are in Dictatorship now unlike the North Korea.
I also know that in Singapore they have some rules against homosexuality but they are also one of the best places to live.
@Zuljaras
I can understand dictatorships and red China cutting content just to show off how much power they have over their peoples lives. When it comes to other areas of the world where individuals are free to have thoughts and opinions of their own however......
As far as art goes can we by today's moral standards say classical pieces like the Birth of Venus still considered art or eroticism? You'd have people in all sorts of mindsets for one way or another. I remember going to a museum in middle school and if there was ever a nude form there'd be giggles and sexual innuendo jokes to almost half of us. I viewed it as art and it was beautiful and it made me cringe for most others to guffaw.
Nowadays we are getting rereleases of anime series but completely uncut with more faithful dubs (for better or worse). Have you watched Dragonball? Not Z mind you but the original?! Goku was not exactly a shining example! Bulma flashed an old man just so she could get what she wanted and was not afraid to use her wiles to get her out of any situation. Lovecraft's novels are fairly racist but they don't censor it.
@Zuljaras No, I'm not. I thought he was from Thailand, but regardless, most of these countries are ruled by despots, backed by some figurehead prime minister or council.
