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.
It mimics real life really well, then, I don’t see the problem.

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

Yea why aren’t there more video games about following the speed limit in your 10 year old car then filling out spreadsheets for 8 hours.
Where the fuck did all these boomer ass takes come from.
