I was in staying in Vatan Caddesi, Fatih btw.

You have got to be kidding me….you based those things on your stay in Istanbul?

I rest my case.

 

My mom is ‘purely Turkish’ and is from a village.
My dad has Arabic ancestry I know of and was born and grew up in the 5th biggest city of Turkey on the south middle where you have a lot of Arab immigrants(obviously because of its geographic location).

Perhaps a new thread to discuss Middle-Eastern politics.

Which country isnt materialistic, there is plenty of skin show in India let alone Dubai.

India? In many parts you’d be lucky to see a woman not in a niqab, let alone see any ‘skin’. One of the most clothes-conservative places I’ve been to as far as women are concerned.

Bombay, Delhi, Goa etc girls wear a lot of tops and skirts.
Ofcourse India is so big like china that you are not going to see every girl scantly clad.
Plus i am also talking about films and TV shows.
You will see alot of Hijab in Dubai too, but they dont wear anything inside and throw the hijab as soon they get in Malls or Date location.
Dubai,Abudhabi and Qatar are not open for sex and shit, but inside and in some hotspot locations shit go bonkers. Really odd laws there, but Govt allows everything if its done inside except drugs. Same for games, though lots of games are banned yet still sold and some total anti islamic games like DMC3 and RE4 are not banned.
Hypocrites.

I really need to open babes thread in chit chat.
Will do soonish.

Rekt

Moreover if the game is including hijab , it says something about Turkey, esp to those unaware, so background of that is legit debate imo.

Imagine some odd bit in NYC depicted in Blackwell series, people would have been discussing that too.

Yes, that much was obvious. Bollywood is about as similar to India as Mad Max is to Australia.

Yeah Sincity according to you.
I dont know if that is more sinful than Antalya resort hotels, but if its sinful for you enough then my point of Hijab breaking norms stand more.

Istanbul is just an example of what passes in Turkey and is allowed, but it is possibly an extremity on many sides. I just think it’s smart to visit more(including far less touristy) places when creating an honest opinion of Turkey.

Also consider that those hijab wearing people might be immigrants. From an immigrants perspective Istanbul has appeal for its status and image that everyone does what he wants.(I don’t know the numbers, just that I met a lot of them to my surprise being there)

Again, it’s tricky to base an opinion of Turkey just through experiencing Istanbul.

And honestly I saw close to no one in Istanbul with an hijab. Heck, it’s flooded with tourists, expats, freelancers, international artists and students. Had to double check if someone was Turkish in the first place. Maybe you walked through some immigrant neighbourhood, I wouldn’t know.

Anyway my point is to be careful with the statements you make about a country. Don’t do a headcount of people wearing hijabs in a certain place and say it’s becoming more conservative. People might actually start to believe you with all the bad press Turkey is getting because of Erodogan.

You are right. I thought Turkey, like Afghanistan were exceptions to the rule.
My apologies rtrooney.

Stuff like that makes you seem shallow and immature, though. Hurts your credibility. Just saying…

Abnaxus coined the idea.
I think i posted alot of babes in 2014 Soccer worldcup. 
Opinions are all over the place, i got more insults of immature for playing games,
in real life and i am not alone, no matter how hard industry struggles to change the perception, Toddhoward was called Dork too.
Moreover i was not planning to post naked pics, just good looking women from different nations and place where everyone can post their national beauties, but lets say if its scantly clad babes, i dont see problem when you have archived threads of erotica AGs,
if you can go polygon and fmvs,then why cant this?
How come GQ pics or just simple pics can be more shallow than Larry,lula3D and Fahrenheit?

And yes i admire beauty of women and not ashamed a bit, and frankly hardly overthink building image online, people believe what they want to believe, credible or not.

Just saying

wont open, dont worry

(Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up))
One of the great crossroads of ancient civilization is a broad peninsula that lies between the Black and Mediterranean seas. Called Asia Minor (Lesser Asia) by the Romans, the land is the Asian part of modern Turkey. It lies across the Aegean Sea to the east of Greece

Hence Erdogan pushing Turkey for EU membership since long.

Yes, and…?

I’ve known all my life what the Middle East is, but I’ll quote Wikipedia to convince you:
Traditionally included within the Middle East are Iran (Persia), Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and Egypt
