I don't think it work like that. For example, Vietnam would not banned movies or tv for having gay or trans characters. And some us movies, they may edit out the trans and gays stuffs for China, Russia, and the middle East, and other Muslim countries elsewhere. The people who have problems with that sort of editing despite it will not affect what shown in the west. Would be liberal and trans activists, because then it would be "catering" to the homophobic and transphobic. Where as what you said would be pragmatic. Heck, money is still money. They could channel the money they make in the middle east to make even more gay movies if that what they want. But to some, it is about the principle of things.

Why Not They Delete or Crop out that specific part?Instead of Ban! 🙁

[@ductoannguyen7595]

Removing that part is easy,regaining our trust is hard,because if you add a scene that violates our sovereignty,you obviously do not support us.

[@KCannaQueen]

Not everyone knows the meaning of that dotted line though.... it was meant to look like a kids world map drawing. If I a kid tried to imitate it and draw it they'd probably include the line not knowing what it was

[@mv6303]

.....a place where some of the fisherman almost killed all the time and being pointed laser that can blind an eyes by that bully.

@@mv6303Huh?! 😂

[@Guernsey576]

Unless you drew the line you don't get to comment on what it was meant to look like.

[@nikkivy123]

​@@suburbantrapqueenthat's what happened in that dotted line that "not everyone knows the meaning" just because it was meant to look like a kids world map 😂

[@vvvbingsu]

@@suburbantrapqueenbecause of the disputed nine dash line China occupies small islands that’s literally has always been part of the Philippines, made the island into a military base and started bullying and killing local fisherfolks

[@Songsthesecond]

That’s ridiculous

[@mikedawolf95]

One movie is causing some international controversy and another movie is about the creation of the nuke.

[@ellenarelkin1238]

Why would you banned the movie?

[@ductoannguyen7595]

For containing a map that“violates our sovereignty”?

[@fuzzyronin]

What a lucky country for they don’t have to see it

[@Attmay]

After this, I’m almost glad we lost the war there. At least we can hold it against baby boomers for the rest of their unnatural lives since they’re the ones who handed the US its first loss in a war ever.

In Philippines Barbie movie is also banned

[@HappyHappy-sq4ij]

…that’s a pretty big coincidence tho…

[@ocx.nathan]

Mexico's missing!. As a Mexican/American citizen, I am OFFENDED. Petition to ban this movie in Mexico! This is an act of Terrorism.

I see 8 lines.

[@ALX65]

Damn,banned in Vietnam all because of one single line that you probably won’t even notice in the background and last like 2 seconds lmao😂💀

[@busystudying6711]

That line is more than a line to those in Vietnam.

If they banned the movie after it came out I would understand, but not only from that map which is fictional...

Banned in the Philippines anytime soon

[@thanhsempai2109]

they're tryin to get across implicit messages, obviously. +1 vote for ban

[@JewTube001]

no implicit messages. did you see the map? use eyes before cry.

[@Amen-Magi]

Why they made map like that

[@benah6192]

Nobody can handle Margo Robbie hotness...NOBODY! 🤯

[@awes0men0b0dy9]

I doubt that it was intentional the map is probably on for only a few minutes so I don’t see the issue

[@vanilla0012]

For me it was definitely intentional. Chinese will bring them a lot of money that's why I guess they put it there.

[@l-darkstar3980]

Remember when China banned Winnie the Pooh? 🤣

Don’t say Ch-n-. Say “illegally occupied Taiwan, Tibet, and Hong Kong.”

[@Hannah-y2z]

Or you could just not watch the film and get on with your personal life

[@Attmay]

It shouldn’t even be legal in America, never mind Vietnam. How bad does a movie have to be before it is no longer protected by the first amendment? This bad!

[@cicirosehannigan]

That's just a nitpick... It won't impact the rest of the film!

[@leek58]

Should be banned everywhere
