  1. CW: Torture (Mysterious Lotus Casebook / storytelling toot)

    Something CDrama and Western shows have in common is the naïve belief that torture will get true and accurate info. IRL it's a costly method with A Lot of false hits - it's litterally cruelty for cruelty's sake. I wish script writers could get that into their heads and use other fast fact finding tropes.

    I picked the least cruel part to show here.

  2. Western male character: I. Do. Not. Cry. At. All. And. If. I. Cry. It's. _Manly_. Tears!

    C-drama male character: *whipes tears from eyes, cheeks, and elbows* Sorry! I couldn't hear you, I have snot in my ears.
