So no Chinese home grown stories can use time travel, and any foreign stuff that does, is banned inside China I learned this factoid years ago.

markconigliaro 12/06/21 9:37:15 PM #14:	From what I understand, the only kind of time travel that's banned is time travel to actual historical events. They cite it as being "disrespectful" to the past events. Which makes sense since they also have a thing against zombies and skeletons for being disrespectful. If it's a fictional world with time travel to fictional events, they're fine with that. It's just don't travel back to real events, and ESPECIALLY don't travel back to see any Chinese historical people, that one will be a quick ban. --- I am a juggler/prop manipulator/fire performer, here's my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/markconigliaro <cite>markconigliaro posted [p:960686845] in I still do...

ssjevot 12/06/21 9:57:35 PM #19:	ImAMarvel posted... iirc, it's because they don't want anyone to make anything set before the Cultural Revolution and imply that times were better then or something like that. There are tons of programs sent in the past. However they do have rules restricting how things must be portrayed and even some very popular shows have been cancelled for failing to adhere to them. As for the time travel thing. I don't know how true that is. It is true Back to the Future was originally banned, but later it aired on TV in China (my wife literally watched it on TV in China in the 90s). I think this is one of those things where there is nuance missing. Like when people say Winnie the Pooh is banned, when it's just comparisons to Xi that are banned (or insulting Xi period). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:960687360] in I still do...
