I feel sorry that you’ve been raised in an environment where you weren’t taught basic manners when voicing your opinion.

I said nothing about imprisoning people, I was saying how some foreigners have zero respect for the place they’re visiting simply because they feel morally superior.

You’re saying that the hypersexualization of society is a great thing that should happen to every nation?

I’m not advocating the imprisonment of any people. I was saying how sexual attitudes and values in Asian countries contribute to the criminalization of homosexuality

Fuck YOUR whataboutism. Where in my comment did I defend the homophobic law? The issue is definitely with foreigners having zero manners. Anyone who goes another country and knowingly break the law just because they think they’re right (even if they are) is called ignorant.

You’d think after doing the same thing in 2019 in UAE they’d tell their tour managers they don’t want to be booked into a homophobic country again? It wasn’t a “mistake”, it was all a fucking stunt. Maybe don’t do the same mistake again by doing the Indonesia tomorrow, which has similar homophobic laws

I think it’d make more sense when you realize most Asian countries are more sexually conservative. The average age to lose virginity is early to mid 20s as opposed to teenagers in Western countries. In countries like Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia, you can’t even legally have sex before marriage.

As an Asian, I think a lot of news don’t get much coverage as they should. We’ve seen an increase in foreigners visiting just try to do the most vulgar stuff they can think of.

In my country alone, we’ve had dozens of tourists trying to do absurd stuffs like taking nude pictures in sacred temples or pissing into the pool of these temples. It’s gotten so bad that we had to create a task force to specifically handle these kinds of misconduct.

How exactly is this going help LGBT community in Malaysia? If anything, he’ll benefit more from the publicity than the actual LGBT community. I think most people can tell that majority of African and Asian countries have anti-LGBT law without needing “international attention”

I find it weird how some people feel morally superior that they have to homogenize people and impose their views on everyone. This obsession of politicizing everything is disturbing.

Well, picking an instance itself already requires a bit of technical knowledge which filters out most of the idiots. That combined with lack of karma counter makes an average Lemmy interaction more genuine and less karma whoring

Maybe because lack of content? I open Lemmy, “oh the top posts are still the same as it was 6 hours ago”, goes back to doing what I was doing. I love it

Interactions also feel more genuine because of the lack of karma counter, at least not officially, a decision that I hope they keep. There are less karma whoring and more sharing your real thoughts here

wait, I thought I was on Reddit? well that’d explain the lack of enshittification of everything
