Talk:Censorship in Foreign Countries/@comment-31286832-20170216085456

There are different people everywhere. But it's no excuse for retrograde laws that try to supress freedom of expression. I agree that some scenes were complicated for children, for instance I was shocked when garnet was split up and I'm 25...,  but overall one of the things that I apreciate so much about SU is the complexity of the situations. It brings hope to a world that sometimes try to go backwards; I'd love how kids nowadays can grow up with shows like this.

Even though they cut some of the scenes, the plot develops in a intricate way that can be understood as it is. It's message trascends the explicit. I don't mean to be corny but somehow love and art are some sort of international languages.

I'ts sad that most of the countries among this list have suffered (or perpetrated) crimes against it's citizens or to other countries and still they dare to censor a dance between two ehmm ¿gems? but I'm not idealistic enough to ask for non hypocritical governments. After all governments and people change.

There'a also a difference among "international hatred" and to acknowledge a situation. Some laws in Russia and Turkey for instance, are bluntly against human rights. Freedom of speech is not one of them, but if someone asks me I wouldnt go to Russia while they incubate this hatred against the difference. It's an amazing huuuuge country, with hundreds of small cultures and an incredible diversity, but I'm not going there for a few years, and the way things are going, not to the US either.

When I started with the show, and pretty much every episode, I felt this opennes, this embracing warm feeling of beauty, empathy and unconditional love. I tried to reach mindfulness long before "Here comes a thought" and I still do. If I felt like this, some kid elsewhere might aswell.

That's relieving.
