Pokemon TCG Officially Launching in China, Massive New Market!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
In the context of this conversation, absolutely. The English edition of Pokémon cards, games, anime has tons of examples of censorship. It's not really to defend the Chinese culture or otherwise so much as to point out what seems strange and unusual to us can seem normal to others, and vice versa.
It is not reasonable in any way, shape, or form. The government having this level of control over children's minds is far more scary to me than the supposed "bad influence" of these "bad" words, which is in all likelihood completely nonexistent.

People have logical reasoning, critical thinking capabilities. No one can take that gift away. The problem is why do people conform with what their government tells them to do? Why do the military of China conform to these tyrannical rules? Could it brainwashing? No. If that is the case, then a couple of friend of mine who were born and raised from a strict religious family would never get themselves out. There is no reason for me to follow pokemon anymore, to conduct business with fascist government have completely lost my respect. Goodbye pokemon, it was fun while it lasted.
Lol that's ridiculous, for centuries children have managed to deal with concepts like death, poison, ghosts, etc., and they have never grown for the worse. It's not like they're censoring racism, sexism or anything of the sort, it's just stuff that goes contrary to the tenets of the CCP like the acknowledgment that "ghosts" are a concept that has existed in plenty of mythologies.
If this is the standard on whether or not a Country should get Pokémon Cards, America should have been cut off from Day 1. Chill.
I never said they shouldn't get Pokemon cards. And why can't I complain about something being bad without people being like "but other things are bad too!!"? There's nothing wrong with being horrified by extreme government censorship.
I agree with your username, tho.
