  • Without seeing the picture, what I can say is that when I go to African countries I dress like the people there because I identify with them.

    I think it’s only bad If you mock them.

    Why if people paint themselves as if they were people of type X is bad, but when men dress themselves as a women it’s not bad? That’s contradictory.

    What might answer your question is that IF in a country people traditionally paint themselves as X to mock X, then the natural reaction would be to classify it negatively.

    But in a country or in a time where people do this out of identification, I don’t see it as a problem.

    Morals are specific to countries and times, it’s not universal and atemporal

    Makes me remember when UK and France invaded China and forced then to commercialize opium and destroy their country:

    “The First Opium War was fought from 1839 to 1842 between China and Britain. It was triggered by the Chinese government’s campaign to enforce its prohibition of opium, which included destroying opium stocks owned by British merchants and the British East India Company. The British government responded by sending a naval expedition to force the Chinese government to pay reparations and allow the opium trade.[1] The Second Opium War was waged by Britain and France against China from 1856 to 1860, and consequently resulted in China being forced to legalise opium.”

    I don’t think they will put it on fdroid, because it has to really be open source to be there, but there’s certainly other app stores which will have it.

    How can a ban be enforced? It’s always thru Google app Store or IP, and you can always bypass both.

    In Aurora Store there’s TikTok. You can install aurora store here:

    In Worst case you can try finding the official tiktok .APK install somewhere
