The bill was proposed back in September, supported by Kremlin, and is expected to be signed by President Putin after receiving approval from the Federal Assembly.
The bill bans all form of medias that portray childfree lifestyles as attractive, including online platforms, movies, and advertisements. Violating this ban will result in fines up to $4,000 (~5.6 M KRW) for individuals and up to $50,000 (~70 M KRW) for organizations.
The spokesperson of Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, stressed, "We must do everything to increase birth rates. Anything that interferes with it must disappear."
Russia is facing a serious low birth rate issue and is pursuing various policies to address it. On the same day, the State Duma also approved a bill that prohibits citizens from countries where gender transition is legal from adopting Russian children.
1. [+889][-136] Our contributed also contributed to the no-marriage and no-birth movement... MBC is a trashy leftist.
2. [+459][-18] These variety shows normalized living alone, not having kids, and raising pets instead without us realizing it. We need shows that guide people towards a better future.
3. [+410][-4] Let's get rid of TV shows where celebrities are showing off their houses, money, and doing whatever they please.
4. [+320][-43] For humane reasons, 'I Live Alone' should be canceled. It negatively impacts the marriage and childbirth rates. As the broadcaster, MBC needs to take responsibility.
-Okay, let's see if banning those shows actually increases the birth rate~!
-Cancel 'My Little Old Boy' first. They're just targeting 'I Live Alone' because it's on MBC.
-What a bullshit. 'My Little Old Boy' is a show that encourages people not to get married.
-This is complete bullshitㅋ With or without those shows, no women is willing to marry you anyway. So, shut it.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So they agree that living alone looks happyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Go ahead, ban everything. Just wait, it will get even worse than this.
-Even their president doesn't have any kids. Do you think it's because he watches 'I Live Alone'?
-You guys are more harmful than those TV shows. How about reducing crimes against women first before that?
-You should start by stop sending young people off to war first.
-What do those TV shows even have to do with anything?
-Seeing by how they're throwing tantrums, 'I Live Alone' must actually be a good showㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Those shows are not 'glamorizing' it... It's just the reality, they're happy living alone with no child.
-They're blaming TV shows when in reality, no one wants to live with them because they're ugly.
