Chinese government says no to Wrath of the Lich King

Here in Merka, we all know that boobs are the Devil's fruit. They hang from the tree of knowledge and tempt good men into wicked acts. We must protect our men from themselves! Of course, we must respect their right to privacy, so we can't extend the police state into their homes (despite our best efforts), which is why we give them guns, to protect themselves from the mammary menace.

I don't think it's just the Buddhist moral lingerings that say decapitation is unnatural and desecrates the body. I think that's basically just a fact. Unless there is some religion where having your head cut off is considered sacred? Maybe Aztec?

Anyway, what's weird is not that China has a problem with skeletons, but that China DOESN'T have a problem with so many other things in World of Warcraft. Picking out skeletons and only skeletons as unholy in World of Warcraft is like watching a Quentin Tarantino movie and complaining because a character said "crap."

But anyway, that at least explains why Blizzard won't give us our Pandas.

Good for anonymous Chinese, but I don't see what entitles them into believing this for everyone. I'm sure some people don't care, or think opposite. It is all just government control over their people's freedom.

Like an entire nation of people is only allowed to believe and think a single thing.

Anam: Skeletons are just particularly taboo. World of Warcraft is honestly not that offensive to most people. Blood is minimal, and despite some of the subject matter the graphics are pretty light hearted.
But to Chinese culture desecrating the dead would be like having a child rapist/murderer as a boss. Americans would be outraged (ok not all but many). It's just not something you do.

wcarnation: Remember communist regime. That is EXACTLY what they believe.

Please stop speaking like you know what you're talking about.

There was absolutely no taboo against decapitation in any Sinitic culture. In fact it was a fairly common capital punishment, and in Japan even a form of honor. The most common form of seppuku involved the traditional harakiri stomach-cutting, and at the moment of greatest pain, the samurai would lean his head forward and bare his neck for his assistant to cut, so he could die with honor. The finest assistants were able to leave a flap of skin so the head didn't completely drop so as to shame the samurai.

Samurai even perfumed their heads in case they were ever killed in battle. The winner would take his head as a trophy, and the samurai would clean and scent it before battle so it wouldn't offend his victor.

So, really, you're full of it. Bottom line is China is a conservative country. You can cry about this all the want, but I find it unusual that no one points fingers at any other countries who happen to be conservative. Americans are strangely non-judgmental about how puritanical we are about sex, or how strict Germans are about any kind of violence. Or the UK about any sort of violence depicted towards children.

You just read about Japan on wikipedia and know everything huh

I'm upvoting you, because everyone thought it, but you're the only one who actually said it. Cliches FTW!
