Go be a gross anti-press authoritarian elsewhere, bum.

Honestly, I have to agree with that. Cigarettes are gross. Tobacco is gross. And watching an episode of this made me feel gross.
Not that removing it will stop most people from watching it lol, but it is a message: “Cigarettes are bad, m’kay?”

People who encourage harmful behaviors shouldn’t be platformed.

I’m sure your guardians beat the shit out of you to say such an asinine line, but this isAdult 🌈Fiction✨
Impressionable minds shouldn’t be watching adult cartoons.
Now go ban the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if you utterly believe this asinine lie.

I only saw a couple episodes, but it seems that making you feel gross is the point…
I’ve seen a lot of media that glorifies smoking, but little that makes cigarettes look as disgusting as chainsmoker cat.
For that reason, I kinda feel like banning it on the basis that it encourages smoking is misguided.
as someone who smoked for years watching this hit close to home and made me not want to smoke. The first few episodes were like “yeah I’ve done that”. smoking butts, finding a “long one” and being thrilled about it. being broke and trying to make a pack last until next pay day only to smoke them all in a day. smoking one that had a bit of “slime” on it. It’s pathetic and indeed gross and i think that’s the whole point of the show. you can’t watch that and idolize the characters, they’re gross.

Perhaps it’s less about whether it encourages smoking and more about whether it runs afoul of laws concerning the depiction of real-life cigarette brands on TV. I don’t know Taiwanese advertising law though!
No you see, we, adults, have to conform art to snoons’s sensibilities. If the Anti Press Authoritarian says it’s gross, then even 三國演義 needs to go, accordingly to Taiwanese law!
We wouldn’t want gross things now, would we?
There’s no tobacco in Taiwan
Hey AntiBullyRanger just wanted to say some things cause you’re point’s not wrong, in fact I’d agree with most if not all of them.
Just one thing:
You might want to try being less antagonistic when arguing your points as it just makes people want to disagree with you even though the person you’re arguing against might also be on the same side as you.
I find it really unfortunate but reading the current comment chain (as of Aug 21 @10 a.m. UTC) gave me this impression of what’s going on.
I am aware who is for press and not🧵.
I know when to antagonize our maimers of society, and when to rhetorize sarcasm for our literate siblings. If rklm misread my rhetorical sarcasm for the actual antipressers 🧵, that’s a failure on their literacy.
But thank you for your concern, comrade. It shows at least some of us comprehend the sanctity of press.

Fair. I suppose the episode I seen was more blase about it, like it was just normal for all the characters in the show to smoke which isn’t good, but could be worse.

In episode 1, the main character is so addicted to cigarettes she smokes a few that had fallen into feces on the street…

I see, and was the series removed then?
