The link 404s for me, so I can't really look at the details, but more information would be required to establish it as actually being criminal. Saying, and I'm just producing an arbitrary example, "Come here to attend a court case or you will be tried in abstentia (and therefore probably found guilty), which will result in fines that, if ignored, will be satisfied by asset forfeiture in the form of us seizing your shit" is consistent with your description of "asking under threat of harm" while also being an extremely normal thing for a country to do and not a crime.

What list? The state sponsors religious celebrations, but surely you think they are Potemkin festivals. This sort of cold war bullshit is beneath any decent person.
Your reading comprehension remains sorely lacking. The whole point is that it's not newsworthy, but you can still collect information on it happening by looking up extradition statistics or w/e
Your definition of abduction apparently includes persuading people to go somewhere, so I think there are many lacks in terms of definitions here.
Baron, the largest son
It's absolutely not an isekai, though it's definitely part of the supergenre of "incel with an irl video game HUD gains infinite power and concubines". It's actually more like the founder of the subgenre that became very popular in manhwa of "weakest incel in video game reality does extensive grinding and gains infinite power and concubines," a cousin of isekai. It's a very fine distinction.
It's also fucking garbo. It has the classic problem with its capitalist ideology of losing all sense of scope and goals that aren't "grow more" and just escalating into meaninglessness.
a) no fucking way fighters are that high in misogyny. at the very least they consistently let you play as women, which has to put them a fair way up there. there is more to misogyny than having horny character designs
You think I was complaining about them being male dominated? The most immediate reference is Strive and you think the reason someone would call fighting games misogynistic is because there are too many dudes? My sister in christ, the horny designs are the issue?! Have you never pressed crouch with Jack-O'? Have you never been subjected to gifs of ramlethal's thigh fat jiggling? Have you just never even looked at Baiken?
(To be clear it's an issue with the genre, not Strive specifically, I'm just using this as the immediate reference.)
b) bridget isn't objectified? . . . design isn't even horny, especially by the standards of the franchise
Alright, so you get that Strive is, uh, typical, but you're just in denial about Bridget. Even her fucking character portrait is a mild upskirt. She's no Baiken, but Baiken is not the line.
C is fair enough.
Her depiction is still very objectifying, only obscured by the endemic issue in the fighting game genre being the most insanely misogynistic genre outside of gacha and hentai games.
It's not even that, they have no idea about it being for businesses. They just imagine the 1984 stasi assigning every individual citizen a numeric value that represents how the government judges them and then rewarding or penalizing them accordingly. It's seriously just a myth that people believe because "some guy said so" is all they need to believe something bad about China.
Yeah, I think they are just treating "-ist" as meaning "bigot by distinction of"
Social credit scores, in so far as they aren't just a fabrication, are a way of policing businesses to keep them from doing anti-social practices. Private citizens don't have any kind of "state loyalty score," just a normal criminal record (or lack of one, of course)
The article is worthless, turns out, and looking at the report, it doesn't really help because so many of its critical claims (i.e. actual, specific instances of collective punishment that weren't countered by Chinese courts) just have citations to other reports by the same group. I'm just here to procrastinate on school work rather than read through a collective 500 pages of histrionics (seriously, the stylization of this whole thing is laughable).
