China Bans Time Travel

I know this is a bit of old news, but I just heard about it today.

No, China is not banning scientists from developing some sort of time machine device (maybe they are), but instead they are banning any media programming depicting time travel. 



The explanation: "characters traveling back in time 'lack positive thoughts and meaning' and that a program's portrayal of time travel can 'casually make up myths, have monstrous and weird plots, use absurd tactics, and even promote feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation.' - (Huffpo


Right....... I mean I know China is just ridiculous on another level, but this type of censorship is beginning to fascinate me on what is the judicial process behind the ban..... Who was the person that connected the two dots that time travel = PURE EVIL? 


Just imagine a country where no Terminator franchise series is allowed. No Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures. No Lost (spoiler alert). No Back to the Future. NO DOCTOR WHO! 


WHO WANTS TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY LIKE THAT? #icantwiththis
