ERROR: CANNOT BEGIN PLAY SESSION UNTIL PLAYER SHAVES FACE
- AussieWog93 5y ago>ERROR: CANNOT BEGIN PLAY SESSION UNTIL PLAYER SHAVES FACE I know you're joking, but a law was passed in Xinjiang back in 2014 preventing people with beards from riding public transport. You literally had to shave before you could board a bus.
- egeozcan 5y agoWhy? Was it an anti-Muslim thing? Disgusting anyways. Putting the discrimination aside (well that sounded insensitive but bear with me), very sorry for those poor people who are like me, who get a red face for DAYS after shaving.
- AussieWog93 5y ago>Was it an anti-Muslim thing? Officially, no. But in reality, yes. They want to make the Uyghurs more Han to reduce feelings of separatism.
- Symbiote 5y agoThey wish to completely eradicate all Uyghur culture. "One China" means one Han race and culture.
- londons_explore 5y agoThere are very few countries worldwide that can look through their history and not find a single culture that has been eliminated or at least marginalized.
- yonaguska 5y agoThere are very few countries worldwide actually presently engaged in attempting to eliminate an entire culture.
- w0de0 5y agoDo you know what the euphemistic justification was? “Cleanliness”? I cannot think of one that is not absurd to even the dimmest ethno-nationalist of my imagination.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoIf I had to guess they'd just say the beard is a symbol of separatism, therefore if you refuse to shave then we might consider you to be sympathetic to the separatist movement, you wouldn't want us to think that, would you? It's circular logic but probably good enough for the fascists...
- teakettle42 5y ago> It's circular logic but probably good enough for the fascists... Er, fascists? We're talking about the CCP here -- these are communists.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoGeez, serves me right for using an "-ist" word and getting an anal retentive "They're a different sort of '-ist'" comment. The Wikipedia definition "Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy" seems to tick all the boxes in the case of China, although I don't know if they fit the definition "far right" (too lazy to see if they tick those other boxes). The problem with "-ist" and "-ism" words is everyone has their own definition what this means. Bernie Sanders can call himself a socialist that thinks the rich should be taxed more, and some dumbass will think he hates Jews because the Nazi party also has the word "Socialism" in it. Also, if you want to say "They're communists because that word is in their party name", then the Democratic People's Republic of (North) Korea must be a great place to live, since they're democratic, and belong to the people!

- taneq 5y agoI don't think this is what they mean about "shaving face" being important in Chinese culture. :P
