He asked for a photo with her, she obliged, he attempted to put his arm around her, and she withdrew.

As an American I’m amazed at the standards of etiquette in some other countries.
The draconian move from the law school aside, the cultural norm this story suggests seems kinda based tbh — folding hands or bowing at a respectful distance, instead of shaking hands or hugging.
Asking an actress for a photo and then trying to put your arm around her is cringe, but that would be tolerated in the West.
This could just be yet another case of uglies not getting away with what the handsome can do. But what the school did makes this hit different somehow. Sure they just don’t want to be embarrassed. But what’s embarrassing follows a cultural norm.
I remember reading somewhere that Bollywood romances don’t have kissing or sex scenes, or at least they didn’t use to—hand holding, I am told, is the most risqué it gets.
Someone posted on this forum how foids were raging at the wholesome graffiti on movie posters that people were doing in, I think it was India there too, because the movie was so, in today’s parlance, “sex positive.”
It just seems like there are countries that aren’t as hypersexualized.
