NEWS: Chinese Streaming Platforms Remove Ultraman Tiga Following NRTA Guidelines

promotes "truth, goodness, and beauty."

Basically "It doesn't promote tyrannical CCP ideals, so we must suppress and ban it", and people wonder why I don't support things like Genshin Impact and pretty anything made by Bilibili. I don't want a cent going to the CCP whenever possible, especially not for entertainment, where the incidents of censorship and other forms of negativity keep occurring at a rapid rate.

Wait, why did they remove Detective Conan and My Little Pony? Both of those show promotes all of that and doesn't have violence, blood (ok, Conan probably does), vulgarity, or pornography. This is why I don't like Right-wing reactionary governments

Awww, come on admit it. Boycotting Genshin Impact and Bilibili; people who themselves probably have nothing to do whatsoever the actions of the Chinese government is just ultra-wide paintbrush criticism of an entire nation. I think more people than you realize are boycotting them for that exact reason, myself included.

I don't want to go off topic, but how is the CCP a right-wing reactionary government? Their censorship applied to anything that doesn't fit their vision for Chinese society, including conservative institutions like Christian churches, mosques and even traditional Chinese religions. I don't think they fit the western concept of right vs left wing, the CCP is just reactionary when it comes to anything they don't like.

There is nothing right wing about the CCP. Left wing governments can be just as authoritarian and aggressive in terms of censorship.

Calling a communist government "right-wing" is kind of funny lol.

You answer your own question, they censor things that don't fit their society. They are very conservative, the only difference is they don't use religion.

Communism can be either Right or Left, like how Capitalism can also be Left or Right. I can be here all day talking about the difference between Maoism, Stalinism, and Marxism (I'm somewhat a political nerd)

I concede that the original "right wing/left wing" terms denoted monarchists versus (small d) democrats. Still, the way that you wield this terminology is extremely problematic. For example, sure they are all authoritarian, but nonetheless monarchism, communism and fascism are very different things. And then there is non-ideological authoritarianism i.e. military juntas and cult-of-personality dictators (power for mere power's sake). Papering over things like that results in "right wing means everything that I disagree with."
