Trying to learn Mandarin by engrossing myself in the culture... but the culture... is retarded...

>>18480295IDK what these properties are or what this has to do with History & Humanities but I do know that I want to have sex with these men.
>>18480295CCP censorship and top heavy corporate control greatly limiting creative expression combined with an over-romantization of power and status leading to almost everything just being a rich CEO/powerful Emperor/kung fu master power fantasy. South Korea is almost as bad but they learned how to appeal to international audience better and Japan is infested with similar slop but still has enough creative freedom to deliver diamonds among the showers of isekai shit.
This has nothing to do with history and humanities
>>18480310>>18480333>pop culture has nothing to do with history or humanitiesHow retarded are you?
>>18480344If that's your argument then literally anything can go here
>>18480356Works for the 6,000,000 religious threads.
>>18480356>& humanitiesMost of the shit people post on here would be better suited for /pol/, /int/, and /lit/ if it wasn't for that. But yeah OP, this post would be better suited for /tv/. You'd get better answers there.
>>18480385I'm talking about all Chinese pop culture, not just TV. And I want to know the underlying cultural reasons behind it, not just shitflinging.
>Femgaze fanservise It's like saying that men who watch lesbian porn are allies.
holy based
>>18480622Based until you realize they're also banning male gaze fanservice.
The East always makes better stuff than the west when it comes to this genre. Its definitely appreciated.My only gripe is that its aimed at women so it tends to be kinda weird. But Ive been meaning to watch this.Or did I watch the anime version? I cant remember.
I cant focus...it just feels awful yeughMake it stop already

>>18480812their ferility is already unfixable though so might as well sperg out against hypergamous foids
>>18480295modern global pop culture is derived from the anglos or japaneseeverything else is just an imitation of either
>>18480295>China will become a soft-power hegemo-ACKJust when I thought slops cant get lower China show up with the shittiest slops imaginable lol.Chinks really dont have the sparks
>>18480295CCP destroyed what culture they had, and censors everything so they can't make anything new. But it was never as cool as Japan anyway.
Making a show about pretty boys is high culture unfortunately in the west you go to a pride parade and instead of cute twinks you see a bunch of old fucks
>>18480295>yaoi shit>women like gay shitThis is universal. Its in America. Its in China. Its in Japan. Its everywhereI dont understand why, but one person did say something about it long ago that stuck to me. Women want to project onto men without being in a competition with other women. Thats why you get the homo agenda from. Its their "safe" space. Safe from romantic competition. While being offered 2 or more extra reward (handsome/pretty men). This isnt China related. But I do know one thing about Chinese literary and media pop culture, their fascination with Cultivation genre. If you think about it, its highly individualistic genre, where a hero fights against the world, the order, the world and makes a name for themselves. Its human will to survive. None of this fits within the communist ideology ofc, but its there, in resistance towards it.
>>18480295LOL they once had a thriving culture but clearly not anymore(I do think the CR is mainly to blame)beacuse CCP is not a pop
>>18480295How hard is it to search "arthouse india chinese film"?
>>18480295>whybecause it is state sponsored and mandatory subscriptions, ie. more commie bullshit

>>18480295>>18480622>>18480747They also officially censor depictions of the supernatural in horror movies.>In Mainland China, the censorship of supernatural depictions is strict. Under regulations enforced by the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA), films are forbidden from depicting ghosts, demons, and the supernatural because they conflict with the government's stance on materialism and are viewed as promoting "feudal superstition"But I believe recently the enforcement of this ban has been rather inconsistent.
>>18482003>the enforcement of this ban has been rather inconsistentThe same applies for all Chinese laws. They're only enforced selectively if you do something they actively want to punish you for.A supernatural show will be allowed. A supernatural show whose writer has recently vacationed in Taiwan will be banned.
>>18481123>never as cool as Japan anywayjapan owes china for giving them civilization, kind of like how northern europe owes ancient greece and romeotherwise they'd still be living in mudhuts
