Not directly relevant but whenever I consume Indian media, I’m struck by how utterly foreign it feels. I watch a Chinese show? I see where it comes from. Mexican? Through line found. French? I understand the satire. Indian social norms and cultural development seem either so idiosyncratic or novel that they sincerely take me out. They, as a people and a nation, befuddle me in such a unique way. This isn’t a critique, just someone looking from the outside with curiosity and confusion.

Chinese media: everything is perfect in an uncanny valley sort of way

Mexican media: drugs, Jesus, boobs, or cartels

French media: like a student film with a budget

Indian media: this guy just punched a car so hard it turned into a transformer, then he turned into a transformer, then they fought and now everyone's dancing

Sauce? I'd like to know more about these transformers. Thanks!

This is such a fucked situation I hope it's not real

[–] kingaloo@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Sadly this is pretty common

Look up honour killings if you seriously think it could be fake.

Come out as gay, only option left

[–] weeahnn@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Anon comes out as gay.

Parents actually accept him, and the whole marriage thing is off.

Parents now want anon to marry a guy he never met.

Anon can't get a break.

I’m pretty sure I remember reading that identical plot of relationshipadvice on the site-that-shall-not-be-named. 90% chance it was fake but the ending was a nice read with the guy realizing he’s bi, and actually hits it off with one of the guys his mom picks.
