The fallacy you present is that you're thinking of culture as a monolithic singularity.\r\n\r\n\r\nTo use an analogy in the usa waving your hand at people is considered a kind gesture; in other parts of the world you'd get punched in the face for giving them the equivalent of the finger.","author":"38b55cdf63616403d7560600"},{"id":"55560aff6368722f1d310600","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"And Aqualung reviewed Contra for the NES\":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A7oytSlXOE \r\n!http://www.pushon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Konami-code-pattern.jpg!","author":"505696b47f123b37e800effa"},{"id":"55560b1863687226e1db1b00","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@uc9\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/55560a1b6368724dd3060e00#post_55560a1b6368724dd3060e00\r\nI'm sorry i don't follow, i don't see how not liking bigoted views of things has to do with religion,","author":"509f70a87f123b77eb0004fd"},{"id":"55560c166368725f349c0900","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@Thanotos Omega\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/55560b1863687226e1db1b00#post_55560b1863687226e1db1b00\r\nOh my god dude; you have to get into history classes. I may sound like a huge nerd here, but it's incredibly interesting how we went from cavemen to modern era and how all these cultural things wound up being created and how religion formed modern culture.\r\n\r\nA prime example of what I mean by this is that for muslims drawing muhammad is incredibly offensive, but the majority of people in the world just outright don't get why it's offensive.","author":"38b55cdf63616403d7560600"},{"id":"55560dc66368720e608a3800","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@uc9\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/55560c166368725f349c0900#post_55560c166368725f349c0900\r\nBut we have comparable things, just because some fucking asshole thinks he's hot shit for spitting in other peoples eye doesn't mean the rest of us mature people can't simply say, \"There is bad history there,\" and expect others to get it, i don't have to be in a religion to understand when someone's request is harmless,","author":"509f70a87f123b77eb0004fd"},{"id":"55560edc63687226e1b12100","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"You know what I miss? Printed publications of Shonen Jump. I used to get those all the time until VIZ cancelled the service. Now that's not to say Shonen Jump Alpha is bad, it's anything but.

The reason why a lot of cultures are to some level similar is because of cultures bleeding into each other and cultural evolution.\r\n\r\n\r\nAn example of what I mean by is that the reason why cannibalism is only practiced by a couple cultures is that you can get diseases from it so of course cannibalism is looked down by the majority of the world.\r\n\r\nTo put it another way: think of cultures as like a bunch of monkeys judging whether or not they can make a jump; all the dumb ones that misjudge it go splat.","author":"38b55cdf63616403d7560600"},{"id":"55560fcc63687226e1db2200","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@uc9\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/55560f0f6368723dc98c0700#post_55560f0f6368723dc98c0700\r\nLook what i am saying is anyone from any culture will have some kind of taboo you can use to explain your own, so there is no reason we can't quickly explain to a comic book writer why that charact
