      Realistically there are two reasons you’re going there, one is because you have a business obligation or potential contract which incentivizes going there, and two is because you got conned by tourist bait ads that try to hush hush all this stuff because it drives people away.

    My gay buddy wants to go to Dubai I’m like bruh they don’t drink, arrest gays, and it’s a fucking cardboard movie set city. It’s omega lame af.

    Just go to Vietnam or Thailand instead. Great food, cheap af, and they party.

    Alternatively you can also avoid going to countries with no respect for human rights. Act in a way that if everyone else did too it would have an actual impact on the world. Be the change.

        I feel like homosexuality and making fun of religion might get you into hot water regardless of gender.

    I’m not inheritly against different cultures wanting to maintain their values, but I definitely wish people could freely enter and leave their culture.

    In the case of Qatar, I can imagine not many women would be interested in staying if it was super easy to switch cultures, but at the same time cultures around the world are beautiful, even if different, and it’s a shame that they can’t be preserved.

      Cultures evolve like anything else. Even language is constantly evolving. Preserving cultures is for museums, not for a growing society. I think that’s part of the reason we are in such a shitty place everywhere. 2024 and there’s still racist homophobic idiots everywhere trying to preserve the “good ol days”
