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!
rrr is very good. i recommend it too
I swear to god I was just making shit up. I actually described a real movie?! That’s hilarious!
This is such a fucked situation I hope it’s not real
Sadly this is pretty common
Look up honour killings if you seriously think it could be fake.
Come out as gay, only option left
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.
