I didn’t know who Grace Park was until this thread mentioned her (I was too young to watch Battlestar Galactica) so I did a quick google and it turns out she used to be part of the Hollywood sex cult! The more you know

So, apparently the Chinese government has stopped approving video games, and a bunch if Chinese game companies have gone under because none of their products can release. Is there any particular reason the CCP hates games or is it just Xi Jinping being a grumpy old man

South Korea was also military dictatorship in living memory. That can’t be good for the ol’ national psyche.

Seems like it’s a bunch of reasons that, once they took root, became a cycle of generational trauma that’s very hard to escape.

This certainly helps shed light on why so many young Korean men are essentially gamer gaters in how violently opposed to feminism they are

China has the current games mostly because Norway chose to withdraw our application - because we had a lot of news about how insanely expensive it would be and how the IOC had some supremely arrogant demands both for personal treatment and for e.g. shutting down all third party outdoor advertisement in Oslo.

The polls at the time showed a majority against hosting the games both nationwide and in Oslo (the planned host city) - the only support was from the regions around Oslo. Parliament prepared to vote on whether to continue the process, but the olympic committee that was running the project read the room and chose to withdraw the application before it came to a vote.

(Ref https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2014/10/05/oslo-2022-bid-hurt-by-ioc-demands-arrogance/16759151/ )

Huh. Good on Norway. More countries ought to demand more from the IOC.
