China Bans Sissies from Teevee

[ClydeR]

BEIJING (AP) — China’s government banned effeminate men on TV and told broadcasters Thursday to promote “revolutionary culture,” broadening a campaign to tighten control over business and society and enforce official morality.

President Xi Jinping has called for a “national rejuvenation,” with tighter Communist Party control of business, education, culture and religion. Companies and the public are under increasing pressure to align with its vision for a more powerful China and healthier society.

Broadcasters must “resolutely put an end to sissy men and other abnormal esthetics,” the TV regulator said, using an insulting slang term for effeminate men — “niang pao,” or literally, “girlie guns.”

That reflects official concern that Chinese pop stars, influenced by the sleek, girlish look of some South Korean and Japanese singers and actors, are failing to encourage China’s young men to be masculine enough.


Rules that took effect Wednesday limit anyone under 18 to three hours per week of online games and prohibit play on school days.

Game developers already were required to submit new titles for government approval before they could be released. Officials have called on them to add nationalistic themes.


Should they ban masculine women too?

Should they ban masculine women too?

That would mean no TV for most of their Olympic teams and they need that publicity.

You suck freshly blown out anus.

Your retardation has gotten substantially lazier. Something troubling you at home? Should we be scared for you?

He remains laser focused on buttholes though so I think maybe the song remains the same.

Now you know that's just like mentioning It's name...

And where you find It, you find It's little buddy...

Be better. Do this shit in It's thread please.

Good point. Mention buttholes and look who comes rushing in immediately, already desperate for my attention as it is, along with his incel sidekick.

And now they're both super mad because their dreams of being on TV in China are now wrecked. :lol:

1) Your obsession with anuses is well-known, Methais, and only reflects on you.
2) It's hilarious that you had the lack of self-awareness to call anyone else an incel sidekick. You've literally been simping for Tardbandit for years, and he's repaying the favor in this very thread.

If you were capable of basic reasoning, though, you wouldn't be a conservative, so that's once again of no surprise to anyone.

Methais should respond to ClydeR in your meltdown thread? There's that legendary logic of RC Tardbandit for you.

China is only doing what America did following WW2.

John Wayne, Charles Bronson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rambo, Rocky, Top Gun, Heavy Metal, East/West Coast Rap, the 80s boom, etc...

They understand that a National identity of strength, perseverance, boldness, attitude, etc... creates a generational perception in it's people that fosters individual fortitude and confidence...

Meanwhile the West has been going the opposite direction for 20 or so years...

You can guess which will win out... just look at history...

Say what you will... it's called "human nature" for a reason...

So.. the US banned Liberace, Elton John, Culture Club, Birkenstocks, Queen, etc...?

It can be one, without being the other.

Since you can't seem to get the four dimensional concepts of this.. I just use easy terms...

China is "manning up"... while the West are becoming a bunch of "pussies".

There you go.

That wasn't the Government banning things though. That was people choosing what kind of entertainment they wanted to watch. If you call becoming more totalitarian to be "manning up", you'd probably enjoy the '40s in Europe.

You offered as examples of how the US was doing the same thing China (banning sissies) was listing some macho men in music and movies.

I offered as a counter to your assertion that the US was banning sissies by listing said sissies that were not banned.

Add on: Village People, Melissa Ethridge, David Bowie, Ellen Degeneres, etc...

You're looking at it as only a layer deep - just my opinion from your comments. This is not about a specific individual (though we both use individuals as examples), it is about a Nations mentality... the underlying zeitgeist if you will.

Your and my examples from the US/Western expansion of the arts, media, corporations, goods and services, etc. defined the world post WW2. If you remember the Marshall Plan, Hollywood movies of all decades, music/tv, the airplane, automobiles (ie. the Mustang), Coca-Cola (voice of a generation), We Are the World, Live Aid, etc. etc. etc... That zeitgeist defined who America was and therefore influenced the world... because of the traditional "macho"/"cowboy"/"renegade"/"rebel" imagine... BUT also to your point, the freedom for people of other lifestyles (as you mention)....

That is in America. Pride in one's Nation is not a bad thing, but it is being sold as if it is here in the US. Everyone around the world should be proud of where they come from, their peoples, their traditions, etc.. it's okay. But the trend to denigrate that notion has been in the works for many years here in the States.

Places like China, Russia, etc.. after WW2 had their "zeitgeist" damaged. They had their asses handed to them. They did not have the same economic boom that the US did. They did not have the same freedoms (ie. your examples). They lived much more austere lives than compared to the US. That lingers in the "zeitgeist".

2 generations have passed and the third is coming up. That transition away from that mentality for those countries is occurring, as people in the US are shifting to hate their own country (for some fucked up reason)... it is happening. I don't mean to an individual, I mean the underlying "feel".

Maybe "manning up" and "pussies" are to general of a term to define what I'm talking about.. but it's the most bar friendly terminology without dissecting it further.

It's about self-reliance, fortitude, relishing challenges, etc... not participation trophies, safe spaces, and unicorns.

China is trying to force that mentality of National Pride - The US had it develop through it's peoples independence. One is the right way, one the wrong... but either way... the united brothers and sisters will prevail when an underlying pride in their fellow citizen is had. The US (IMO) has lost that - not specific individuals, but the institutions/laws/regulations/and freedoms that support the individual are being eroded.. which in turn leads to the loss, etc.

Shit we could talk for hours on the nuances of it, but hopefully you get what I'm saying.

Read above.. you came at it (or I was unclear) from the opposite direction/view than what I was trying to express.

On this idea.. I saw a news piece the other day.. A football or basketball? coach had taken his team for a team building exercise to a local chef school for a day of learning to cook, prep food, etc.

Overall a really cool story and was fun to watch the teenagers reactions.

On the surface it's a really, really cool story. But, to a person... when asked... every teenager on that team said they'd never cooked their own meal before. Made a sandwich or something sure.. but not actually cooked.

When you have 20+ teenagers from all backgrounds that had never cooked once in their life... it's eye-opening.

It goes to many things.. change a tire, wire a lightbulb, change the oil, run a lawnmower, iron their clothes, cook their food, etc. What people today do as "Lifeskill coaches" for 20 somethings that have no fucking clue how to write a check, open a bank account, do math in their head, etc.

It's many things, and nothing, all at the same time. Individually, or as standalone examples, it's never alarming... it's when that tipping point is reached and the masses now lack that self-awareness, self-reliance, and capabilities that it becomes scary.

Oh another funny one popped in my head: From 2-3? years back.. girl in San Fran or some big city in California was asked on the news... paraphrasing.... "what will you all do if food trucks stop bringing in food to the city"... her response: "go to the grocery store". Forget what was going on at the time, but was something or other affecting food distro on the west coast. That one always makes me laugh.

Those are probably the same people who tell you if you just get your meat from the grocery store then we won't have to slaughter animals anymore.


To give her the benefit of the doubt though, just in case she's not that stupid, she may have thought of this when "food truck" was mentioned:

Do you even know what farm to table means?

Yes. It means hunt until you can't carry anymore boxes, then go afk at a table.

I get what you are saying.. and you are right.. the US is going in the opposite direction.

We're letting the gigantic flapping pussies of the country dictate behavior.

But it's all cyclical.

Reminds me of a saying I heard: “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”

It essentially falls between 3-4 generations from prosperity to shit.

1st Generation fights for the rights/ability to earn/freedom (1900 or so)
2nd Generation builds society based upon those rights (1940 or so)
3rd Generation benefits from what was built and expands/refines/improves (1980 or so)
4th Generation has forgotten what it took to achieve the rights/ability to earn/freedom and fuck it all up (2020 or so)

Circle back to 1st Generation again.

Sometimes you get lucky and it lasts a bit longer, others it doesn't.

Lol.. just what we were talking about. Right on que... https://www.yahoo.com/news/empires-effeminate-men-britain-america-100930966.html

One you sob's aren't this byline writer are you? Snagging my ideas or what?? (just send me a small recompense!)

Edit: Just had a funny thought hop in my head... Samurai in the US nowadays would be ridiculed or labeled toxic masculinity I think. Just makes me chuckle.

Not much has changed here, it has just gone over to women as well.

I have long thought that many of these things should be taught in school. Things like doing taxes, managing credit, etc.
