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.

Fourth is you're an influencer and are getting paid to let them shit in your mouth.

Yes, this is a thing that happens. Google "Dubai porta potty"

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.

People play too many games with their lives. If a government is telling me not to go to their country, I interpret that as a threat.

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.

Have you seen their population diagram? They import.

(Yes, I know, it's more complex than that.)

I wonder if it's meant to contrast to a "chaste courtship" sort of thing. Just a wild guess, though.

Damn, I think I'd break 6-7 of these just by going to the beach.

If you're a man, anything. If you're a woman refer to the guide.

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

Everything in the image will probably get you in trouble regardless of gender except maybe inmodesty

What to do: never go to the middle east without an armored battalion backing you up.

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"

You have to respect people. You don't have to respect ideas.

Passively expressing disinterest in another's ideas is part of the very nature of humanity, and is absolutely not disrespect.

The easiest thing not to do is to not be in Qatar. At all. Ever.
