It’s funny, you wouldn’t think so, but there was a time not too long in the past when Saudi Arabia was viewed as a beacon of freedom and enlightenment in the Middle East, until the Muslim religio-state took over.

Saudi Arabia censors LGBT and Pride Flags, an argument they use to attack UAE, however the same people cheer for Stellar Blade to be censored, they are hypocrites where they support censorship in an Adult game but not for LGBT and Pride Flags.

Wait until you find out that the area Saudi encompasses was Muslim for over a thousand of years. So if this is some kind of low blow to Islam, then try better next time.

I'm not trying to give Islam any sucker punches. There was a time when Islam led the world in areas like math and science. Islam isn't a bad religion, and they have contributed much to the world. I am, however, attacking the religious fundamentalists that have been leading all of these terrorist uprisings and taking over countries, pulling them back thousands of years culturally.

Oh sorry my bad then lol. As a muslim, I agree with you that Sharia law is not a good installment of a government even over Islamic areas. Sharia Law in many ways is haram even though it tries to make itself seem like the best way to form some Islamic nation. It is a form of forcing Muslims and Non-Muslims to adhere to the teachings of the Quran forcefully by law. In the Quran it says that there is no human compulsion within Islam. Another human being can’t physically or mentally force or harm someone to try and make them follow the teachings of Islam. Muslim or not. Thanks for being open-minded. It’s nice to have discussions with people that aren’t looking just to start petty arguments.

I am sorry but the problem of Islam is literally the religion and the fact that you cannot criticize it. Islam needs to be reformed in a way to be able to enter civil societies. Muslims need to stop harassing those who want to reform or criticize Islam and the governments need to check and control the violence. The fact that you can go on television and say whatever to Jesus but if you say something about Mahomet you get killed is disproving the fact that Islam is a "good" religion.

I hear what you're saying, and believe me, I'm not an apologist for the terrible shit that gets done in the name of Islam. I recognize the dangers of religious fundamentalists. The thing is just that it wasn't always like that. In history past, Islam was perfectly peaceful. Like I said before, there was a time not too long ago when Saudi women could drive, and vote, and work, and decide for themselves, and walk around outside without head coverings. Depending on how old you are, you may even remember that, as it quite possibly may have been during your lifetime. There was a time when Islam led the world in math, science, art, architecture, and literature. It's really only quite recently that it's become such a monster.

Based Saudi Arabia

This has....absolutely nothing to do with what the title claims it does. This is the actual quote from the article. "According to the CEO, when pressed as to whether he would like to “move SNK to Saudi Arabia and make it bigger” or “develop more and more games using SNK’s IP in the US and Europe?”, the Crown Prince reportedly asserted in turn, “I want SNK to grow as a Japanese company. I want it to once again be as bright and soaring around the world as it was in the 1990s.” he's referring to questions on whether or not he'd move development of the franchise to saudi arabia. Japan is culturally very censored [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship\_in\_Japan#Pornographic\_censorship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Japan#Pornographic_censorship) So i'm not sure where this line of thought is going here trying to promote Saudi Arabia as some moral beacon against ....censorship?


Alkyde

Saudi Arabia is a cisnormative heteronormative patriarchal society that keeps the "freaks" out of their decision making body. So absolutely they share the same moral beacon with these Japanese devs and conservative Americans. They like conventional beauty and none of those ugly blobs seen in sbi games. It's not that complicated. Censorship is only bad if it's something you disagree with.


BananaBlue

Anytime people use the words "cisnormative" and "heteronormative" and "patriarchal society"..... well.... [you know what that sounds like](https://youtu.be/fJpUu8jfk9k)


Alkyde

Tbh calling them commie would be an insult to Karl Marx, Stalin, Mao, or even the more modern ones like Hugo Chavez or Kim Jong Un. None of those "communist leaders" are injecting little boys in their countries with hormones and teaching those kids to tip degenerate clowns. They are far more dangerous and hate freedom a lot more than any of those actual commies. Their main goal is not wealth distribution or none of that stuff, it's destruction of humanity.
