Good grief. And antisocialists make fun of the PRC for allegedly banning a Disney character…
Oh, don’t forget about censoring Finn, the black character in Star Wars, too! 🙄 (someone else did a post somewhere that showed it was a single variant and that other posters did still feature him fairly prominently, sadly because search engines are shit now, I can’t find it anymore)
There was also cutting off Liet Kynes as black woman from the covers of Dune, which i can confirm really happened, but in Poland.
The amount of Winnie the Pooh merch I see in China is staggering
Wait, do you live in China, if I may ask?
No but I’ve been travelling through it over the past year. Currently in in Cambodia but I’ll be back there in a month or two
Cool! I’d love to hear about your experiences. Mind if I dm you?

That country that spent most of it’s history as a military dictatorahip? I’m shocked and appalled.

Only took 70 years.
I’m curious about the actual culture of society in korea. Currently doing “cultural research” reading some manhwas haha. They are quite different from manga or manhua (Chinese).
In 1950 most western democracies were pretty ultra conservative too, and Korea had to abide by the foreign policy of the USA to continue to exist. I suspect they’ve come a long way but are still rather conservative.
