>>8101920>Why are chinks so autistic about skulls?>WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?Assuming you're not trolling and interested in knowing more / a legitimate answer:
There's a vaguely worded passage in the law that forbids any products that promote supernatural/superstitious ideas or occult religious doctrine. Companies looking to sell shit in China are considered by individual judges or committees on an individual basis, which makes it very hard to predict if your product will raise eyebrows or not based on past precedents. Maybe the last one got lucky. Maybe this judge doesn't give a shit. Or maybe he's in a bad mood and wants to tell someone to fuck off.
Basically, because the law is vaguely phrased, if someone has a hateboner for your product, they can bend the law and use it to cockblock you.
Because China is a huge market, the "safe" choice is usually to self-censor products (video games, books, movies, whatever) in a way that avoids tempting someone trying to shut it down using the vague law as a reason. It's not always necessary, but it's just easier/more profitable for companies to do it this way than fix it after the fact.
Ghost busters, for example, got curbstomped because it's assumed to be promoting christian ideals and christian superstition in how the ghosts/demons look and behave.
>>8101955>Chinese censorship has a lot less to do with cultural bogeyman these days and more to do with foreign movies having the "wrong" political message.Likewise, the star wars sequel trilogy was labelled as western propaganda by news outlets which made the Chinese market less interested in it.
