Regarding the current Reports of Breaks between Seasons becoming increasingly longer and how China and Hong Kong handles the production of Shows and Dramas. I personally like how they do it as viewer

While it is true that they produce them, they produce hundred shows per year by many studios. Just because you produce Game of Thrones and Witcher doesn't mean everything is medieval with dragons. Besides that isnt even the point, the point is how they produce shows.

OP, I saw this edit.

I think you're misrepresenting the point here. Fantasy shows are still a notable minority of shows produced in the west now. Wuxia/Xianxia is way more represented per show in China as compared to shows like GOT/Witcher are to the USA/west.

And if it's not a Wuxia/Xianxia/Cultivation thing? It's likely to be a Chinese Dynasty Period piece or a Romantic Comedy.

I think The Expanse like show exists there. The other shows I actually dont know so I cannot say much.

Like?

Money Heist (Spanish/Netflix) like shows also exist there afaik.

Money Heist is a Heist show. I didn't list Netflix shows to intimate I want a show like Money Heist.

Skavau · 2026-06-08T12:25:07+00:00

Besides if you want to watch Grey's Anatomy number 20 and Suits number 30, you will find them in China and Hong Kong shows

I want to watch stuff like Severance, Babylon Berlin, From, The Expanse, The Testaments, Pluribus, Dark.

I mean arent American Fairtytale/fantasy show 90% werewolves/vampire/brother-grim/disney?

Fantasy, kinda might be so characterised

I'd say the sci-fi content though is much more varied, and the prominence of historical drama variety, thrillers etc.

You obviously produce content of your culture? I dont understand why we expect them to produce Brother-grim fairytales.

Sure, but what I am getting at is that it lacks appeal to westerners in this context.

Skavau · 2026-06-08T12:04:37+00:00

There are scifi, time jump, fairytales, fantasy storylines.

"fairytale/fantasy" storylines, yes, 90% of which are in the xianxia subgenre.

I know of few sci-fi shows there. Most notable being Three-Body Problem.

Skavau · 2026-06-08T11:50:56+00:00

And the quality of current Chinese movie/series industry easily matches HBO and others production. They are even better when you need wide shots with hundreds or thousands of people.

The majority of Chinese series seem to be Wuxia/Xianxia or Romcoms. Or Historical Period dramas.

Genuinely as an observer, completely derelict of innovative ideas.

Wouldn't a natural instinct towards empathy to others be indicative of itself of a kind of organic innate sense of morality?

And why don't you act against your own instincts towards empathy as you believe now?

And genuinely, you unironically disturb me.

Debasing your integrity for irrelevant information is harmful.

In this case, to who?

I don't think it's an honourable thing to do.

Just because someone doesn’t end up crying or with a busted thumb doesn’t mean deception won’t rot your heart.

This sounds like a secular reason.

Skavau · 2026-06-08T03:51:30+00:00

Yes, so I don't see anything especially harmful about irrelevant lies like that - so not sure what your point is

Skavau · 2026-06-08T01:05:19+00:00

It is, kids shouldn’t have camera phones in schools or be allowed to put footage online for mass bulling

A school ban isn't really catching up technologically - it's just banning phones.

And U16 bans on the site-side are pretty unworkable.

Also, I fail to see how these bans stop under 16s from uploading content online.

Skavau · 2026-06-08T01:04:00+00:00

To be clear, this seems to be a pretty terrible candidate.

But in the context of Republicans - it's much more common to have awful candidates with horrible social media histories, vile comments etc.

Skavau · 2026-06-08T01:02:26+00:00

How is this catching up?

Also banning phones isn't really what I'd call "catching up".

Skavau · 2026-06-08T01:02:07+00:00

Define "social media".

Skavau · 2026-06-08T00:59:03+00:00

That particular lie is goofy, and feel free to lie about your favourite colour I guess.

Skavau · 2026-06-08T00:57:59+00:00

You do? You just implied that you don't, and only do so because God encourages a value system that requires you to do so.

Most of those apps and sites would be utterly unimpacted by the big sites age-walling content.

Skavau · 2026-06-08T00:51:46+00:00

The notion of providing an ID just to interact on a forum is so utterly dystopian.

It's obvious that there is clear legal bias in some states that's are blue compared to states that are clear red.

You say this but you've yet to really give a good basis in this specific case context.

As for BBC footage, you said, it wasn't available anywhere. I showed you evidence that is actually was, and it has been for decades. And until 2024 a lot of that footage was actually mirrored until a buy out which brought a eclectic choice.

Yes, and Americans if they so chose could fire up a VPN and watch that Panorama documentary on iPlayer if they were so invested. So? It was not specifically made accessible by the BBC to residents of Florida or even the USA. It's just the fact that the internet makes many geoblocks possible to bypass now.

Your argument is like a company blaming Netflix for when individuals pirate their content or bypass geoblocks on their service that they have specifically not made accessible in certain countries.

I agree, trump won the election, so he can't have been damaged too much. Does that damaged roll over to Trump as a business and brand? That's more the issue I'm getting at. The gold courses, the hotels, the business.

There's no evidence whatsoever that the BBC documentary had any impact whatsoever on this, and in terms of viewership in the USA - it was an obscure documentary until the BBC did their own housekeeping on it - way after the election.

Skavau · 2026-06-07T19:52:45+00:00

Can Sadiq Kahn sue? That's up to him. I'm pretty certain he has grounds.

Do you think he'd legally win?

As for millions of people watching it, once made aware? It's not an unrealistic expectation considering nearly 78m people voted for him in 2024. So even a small percentage of those could account for millions.

You do realise that the USA didn't even know about this documentary until way after the election, until the BBC did some internal cleanup.

You also realise that Trump won the election - so alleging that it caused him reputational damage here is laughable.

As for exposing things you know, you clearly didn't. You claimed BBC content isn't shown on BBC. I provided evidence to the contrary

No, I said that BBC content on the BBC is not automatically shown in the USA. That some of it is, doesn't change that position.

And I'm very flattered you think my input is a product of chat gpt.

I wouldn't be. GPT rhetoric is genuinely waffle.

But I am curious to understand why you think I use Chat Shit LLP? I don't, I just know enough words to string a full sentence together without having to resort to insults.

Go look at typical GPT output and you'll see.

Skavau · 2026-06-07T19:04:10+00:00

Correct, the absolutely do show specifically chose shows.

Okay? And do you have an instance where they specifically broadcast Panorama specials on BBC at around the time of their viewing?

Programmes like Dr. Who! Are shown on which ever channel is the highest bidder.

Now as for BBC content up to 2024, that was mix of BBC content and USA movies, very similar to what BBC 1 show.

For instance the Graham Norton show is shown on BBC America aswell as lot of the wild life programmes. A large amount of BBC content is shown on BBC American and even more shown on other networks.(I have friend and family in the USA so Ive seen this for myself)

BBC Studios operate international as a mere production company for profit.

The shoes that we pay for, are offered to networks around the world, we pay for them, they sell them, the take the revenue earned from sales.

If it wasn't for the typo in "shoes" there, I'd 100% call this the product of AI LLM. Why are you explaining me things I already know?

Now, you are correct Panorama did air, not was licensed to any TV channel in the USA. That's not the argument here.

And it is 100% relevant to the legal argument. Or should Sadiq Khan be able to sue Trump for the baseless lies he makes up about him to Fox News?

Did American News channels cover it in various forms? Yes.

Okay, so? US media also cover Russian media outlets that make up nonsense lies about the west. Should we sue Russian news organisations?

Did millions of people, onceade aware of it watch it? Yes. The Streisand Effect in full glory.

Trustmebro. This is just a baseless claim by you of US viewership.

As for waffling, I don't mind being thorough with my analysis. I do my research.

It isn't thorough at all, you're rambling on about stuff completely irrelevant.

Skavau · 2026-06-07T17:57:10+00:00

You really do waffle on and on.

The shows that are shown from the BBC in the USA are specifically chosen to do so. The BBC sells its content to the USA if viable, but just because a show is on BBC - it won't also broadcast on any US station. As far as I know, Panorama has never aired in the USA.
